Liz Cheney's Honeymoon With the Media Ends Abruptly, Kind of Like Her Career
[REDSTATE] If Rep. Liz Cheney
...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
thought the "strange new respect" she garnered from the left-wing media over the last several months would be long-lasting, she’s learning quickly that’s not the case. Apparently, simply being anti-Trump doesn’t mean much if you choose to not toe the line on every single issue.

With that said, I regret to inform all of you that the honeymoon is over.

Who could have possibly foreseen this except everyone paying attention? This is the problem with seeking backslaps from Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, The Washington Post, and the rest of the mainstream media. As a Republican, you are always just a tool for them to advance their left-wing narrative. To the extent that you may play into that, they will laud you. The moment you step out of line on any policy issue, though, the knives will come out. These people were never going to love you.

Cheney, despite being virulently anti-Trump and having terrible foreign policy views, is not a liberal. I know it’s easy to think in those kinds of absolutes, but Cheney’s big problem wasn’t her voting record. It was her inability to put her personal wants and ambitions aside to lead the party she was ostensibly serving. Because of that, it was always a forgone conclusion that she would say something that would rile the left-wing media to the point where they would throw her overboard.

#1 She's a blood-drenched neocon who wants endless wars and is willing to kill as many American soldiers as it takes.

#3 As a Republican, you are always just a tool for them to advance their left-wing narrative.

Reminds me of one phrase I learned early on whilst figuring out about the treacherous ground that is Washington DC politics (with respect to involvement with journalists, around Clinton's time)- 'if you're not a source, you're a target'. When Cheney got booted, that polarity switched but good.
