TRUMP 2024!
For prison
no more war mongers TRUMP 2024 !!
Benedict Arnold speaks ! Ask her how she made 38 million dollars while in office for six years ! Put this tramp in jail ! Her father is a POS too !
Why did Representative Cheney not run as an independent in the General election after the Republican party nominated a Trump toady?
The problem with voting for a republican, even a good one that would stand up to Trump, is that Trump’s enablers are still in government positions. So that “good” republican has to also stand up to Trump’s enablers and make sure they get brought to justice also. The cancer goes deep.
I want Liz’s dad to start more illegal wars. Could he do that if we elect Liz?
@Imperial Motoring She would go with daddy and his friends exactly like how G.W. did.
Is Liz concerned with the Chinese Collusion currently running the White House:?
I would vote for Liz Cheney. She’s all honesty and truth. Unlike her ex-colleagues from the GOP (circus clowns).
I also support Halliburton! Thery make great weapons and give great kickbacks!
So you’d vote for a pro-life and pro-gun republican?
@Imperial Motoring Are you that daft, to confuse her with her dad?
One more democrat that would be your friend, Liz!
If Hitler said he hates Trump would you then love Hitler?
Boo
The last pro-American Republican
And birdbrain Longport Media WOND 1400 AM in Linwood, NJ support Trump and so do a lot of their listeners. And they call themselves South Jersey’s News Talk Leader. What a joke.
Liz is a true patriot and will be used as the measuring stick for integrity in the republican party.
@321snootWhy are we hearing from her?
@Imperial Motoring u should look up the meaning of the word Patriot.
@Mr. Horrorchild Why don’t you ask her instead of me?
@321snoot because you have shared your opinion in the comments. That’s why I am asking you
@Patricia Galipeau You should demand investigations and impeachments over the “Chinese Collusion” currently running the White House.
She voted 90% with Trump, what’s her accountability?
This woman have more integrity than any other GOP polititian.
The rest of GOP are part of a Circus.
She needs to move on. Why don’t she blast Biden? He has done a lot more damage to this country than Trump ever did. Maybe she shouldn’t throw stones in a glass house.
He isn’t acting out of strength, but self preservvation.
Liz cheney for president
*AMERICA IS HOLDING TERRORISTS ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN*
*CHUMP20TOLIFE* 🇺🇲🇺🇲
*DARK BABBITT IN DENIAL* ⚰️🐑
Who do we want for president

@Emily Randall I’m talking about liz cheney
Lies, lies, lies, folks!

🤡🤡
Many years ago when I heard her father say ” Make no mistake, this man (Trump) is the single biggest threat to our country. ” I knew that eventually Trump would be dealt with. ⚖️
I remember That. He seen it right off ha ha 🤣
Much more respectable than her father.
SHAME ON THE RETHUGLICANS FOR BRINGING THIS MAN TO THE COUNTRY 2:13 COUNTRY
Good for you Ms. Cheney! You and people like you are who we desperately need right now. You hit the nail on the head….. it’s idiots electing idiots. These people have no clue about the kind of leader that should lead the U.S.! And trump ain’t it!!!!!!!
I think she would make a good President!
🫵✊🇺🇸👍🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻BRAVO ❤️✊ VERY CLEAR VERY DIRECT VERY TRUE AND HOPEFUL. WELL DONE 👍🇺🇸👏🏻🇺🇸👏🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🫵
Yes, She impresses – With Respect from the North 🇨🇦
Liz cRAzY CATLADY
SHE IS RIGHT ON ABOUT TRUMP/ China or even Russian mentality. Communist C WITH A CAPITAL C. DUMP THE TRADER TRUMP. GONE IS THE REPUBLICANS PARTY SHAME 😣 GOOD FOR YOU
Liz, Cheney great show Lester Canada’s watching❤✊🌎
Liz for president
6.27.23 Report just came out today stating Cheney & Kinzinger were wrong on everything. There was advance warning of J6. Many failures but not Trump’s.
Liz is 100% correct!!!!
Thank you so much Ms Cheney! We have you to thank for standing for our democracy and I will never forget what you did – You should give the presidency a run😊
Go Liz ,I will vote for you ,I am not republican
That already happened. She lost 49.3k votes to 113k.
She don’t like him so she’s not gonna say any good things about him and she had to be ashamed her self she knows he’s a good president
OBVIOSLY, YOU DIDN’T RESPECT MY VOICE.
There is OBVIOUSLY a two tiered Justice System as well as a Two Tiered Media System to match it. AMERICA IS GOING DOWN, F A S T !!!
But my comment will be erased and reported by you tube?
Liz Cheney 👎👎👎😡😡😡🇺🇸🙏❤
Why can’t all the republicans wise up like Liz and get Trump out so they can reestablish their party. Their party is in the dumps and it now reflects the undereducated hateful and dangerous MAGA individuals. Are the good republicans not embarrassed and disgusted enough to pull together to end Trump or what?! What a disgrace.
As a liberal, if all the Republicans were like Liz Cheney with courage to speak the truth about the crooked ex president and she ran for president, I’d consider voting for her most definitely .
As a sensible person. it amazes me how someone as horrible as Cheney is admired by people only because they have TDS.
@Lynneshe also voted twice for Traitor Trump.
Liz Cheney wants the poor to die on the streets and war with China, but you would vote for her as a liberal? Stating “Orange man bad” is the only thing it takes? Jesus liberals are a cheap date.
She is just another fascist who supports the WEF, Programable money and the Bidens
A Republican with some sense! She has her dad’s integrity.
Liz Cheney has interity, courage, a very stong record of service. She is not afraid to speak up against Trump and he set forth to help her lose her seat in Congress.
WE WOULD VOTE FOR HER if she ran for President of the United States today or any other day.
BRAVO LIZ CHENEY!! ❤❤❤
You would vote for her over Kamal Harris? OMG!
@Imperial Motoring Remember Cheney Iraq and her dad and fake wars. All those troops died looking for wmd that never existed. Trump2024!
Liz got mad when trump told her daddy was corrupt which he was Liz get back to the dog park
Thank you for saying the truth. Please also mention that fossil Joe and Chicken Trump must go to nursing home. We need young and brave people in office. God bless ❤
Republican party is a cult that worship Trump and
deceiving American people with hate, violence, fear.
I’m not thrilled with Biden, but Republicans are destroying
our great democracy and freedom.
Liz Cheney says “Americans are electing idiots.” She’s wrong, Americans are stupid people.
If Liz Cheney ran as a democrat I’d have to seriously consider her with my vote.
yes!, a conservative Dem. for POTUS.🤨🤔🤦
There are more people unfit to vote but Trump captures their hearts and wallets. The more indictments, the more millions flood into his pockets.
*Donald J. Trump America First! 2024*
After Obama caused ISIS to become a terrorist organization, with President Trump’s leadership and foreign policies, ISIS was taken out of power.
After many years of U.S. leaders saying, they would move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, only Trump kept his promise and made it happen.
President Trump removed hundreds of Obama’s job killing regulations that jump-started the U.S. economy.
President Trump got rid of NAFTA, which wasn’t fair to the U.S., and created a more fair trade package called the USMCA trade agreement.
President Trump secured the southern U.S. border, and very few illegals made it across before he left office. The Dems reversed that accomplishment.
President Trump made the U.S. the #1 oil producer in the world before he left office. Biden reversed that in just a few months after taking office.
President Trump had the U.S. petroleum reserves topped off before he left office. Biden gave away over half of it to other countries, including China.
In Illinois, where I live, fuel prices were at $1.96 a gallon before Trump left office. Within months, Biden had the fuel prices up to $4.00 a gallon.
President Trump selected three excellent pro-constitutional justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
And because of Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court selections, he was able to reverse a 50 year travesty of abortion on demand, and killing babies in the womb.
With President Trump’s leadership, more U.S. companies were coming back to the U.S., and the U.S. economy was humming on all cylinders. Anyone that wanted a job could find a job. There were record breaking jobs numbers for every ethnic group in the U.S..
President Trump gave his wages as POTUS to charity for his entire four year term.
Those are just some of the accomplishments and deeds from President Donald J. Trump!
But Liz you voted with Trump 93% of the time!
Lester needs to shave his head or retire
These comments below are all bots ¥¥¥. Liz Cheney is what we call a rhino A fake republican. Ever wonder why they asked her to come on rather then someone else even a neutral party? These is part of the 4th branch of the government the media
Liz, Become Blue for 2024 ❗️
Marengo Illinois farmers for Trump
Am i the only one who noticed how much applause Rep. Cheney received after she mentioned having recently made some new Dem. Friends, lol! She is right about trump tho; I knew he was UNFIT for POTUS the picosecond he opened his mouth to announce his candidacy! And Ron DeSatan is equally, if not more, dangerous as well!!
Liz Cheney for President 2024
Cheney’s TDS is driving Democrats to love Halliburton!
The modern GOP is a Clown Show!
She’s right, we are electing idiots. PUT CIVICS BACK IN SCHOOLS!!
He is not strong….lol. He will bring down the republican party….
The dog loves chickens, chasing them….but
When the farmer finds a dead one, he ties it around the dogs head…
Trust me, the dog does not like the chicken that is attached around its head…the longer its left on,the more rotten its gets…
This woman is the face of oil and the military industrial complex. Period.
She is smart and is one of the only Republicans with any integrity. But…she didn’t say Republican idiots. She said idiots. I am for FAIR and EQUITABLE treatment of ALL human beings. Anyone with a Y chromosome has no business in WOMENS sports, WOMENS prisons, or WOMENS bathrooms. Unless you actually wore chains or were forced to work on a plantation, you don’t deserve any reparations based on your race. This is blatant vote buying. Instead of paying back idiots that accrued $100K or more in college debt for some worthless liberal arts degree or some degree that will only land them a low paying job, they should treat the actual cause of the problem and implement responsible lending laws that prevent people from borrowing beyond their means to repay. This too is blatant vote buying. Yeah, those are all DUMB ideas, really dumb ideas. Dumb Democrat ideas. If the Dems would invest less in these dumb ideas they would appeal to more than just the far left and the elections would not be so close. Right now, as an Independent I usually vote Dem not because Dem is the best choice for America, but because it’s the party that is less dangerous and less idiotic. Given a better choice, I would not.
Gross! Can you imagine waking up next to that every day?
Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney are two Republicans I actually enjoy listening to. It’s not always party first, people last with these two and the justice system covers all equally.
So you’re pro-life and pro-gun?
If you’re a republican just say that
@undrwatropium I’ve been an independent since the day I could vote. I’ve never been a part of one political ideology or the other. I am not pro-life and I believe all women should have their own body autonomy. Most pro-life people get their pro-life ideology from their religion and I am not a religious person. I do believe in gun rights. Everybody that is physically capable and mentally mature enough to own and operate a firearm should be free to purchase, store and use a firearm. Though, I do believe in stricter background checks, red flag laws, increasing the age required to purchase and a longer waiting period. If insurance companies believe people don’t become an experienced driver until the age of 25 then why should most people be able to purchase firearms while they’re still in high school?
You would make an amazing president, Liz!!!
Lol she lost her state
@Turkey Hunter such a shame.. she’s willing to be truthful. She’s smart.. she’s young. And She’s female!
Largest political contributer to both parties is Israel/AIPAC lobby,they also decide which people’s random comments are headline worthy
The G.O.Party of fascism will destroy democracy in America, if we allow it.
Will Hurd/Cheney 2024
Liz Cheney is a Patriot thank God for calling out that orange clown
Remember Cheney Iraq and her dad and fake wars. All those troops died looking for wmd that never existed. Trump2024!
Her father should be prosecuted at the Hague for his leading role killing 800,000 Iraqis.
Trash
Liz still does not understand. We do not want to hold Donald Trump accountable. He is accountable to no mortal man.
Ask her about black rock that her family runs. And black rock is controlling the narrative of what is going on in the world,black rock worth 31 trillion people wake up the most powerful corrupt company in the world. Yes 31 trillion look it up.
Liz cheney is trash ✅
She votec with Trump 93% of the time.
She has my vote. Maybe one of the only Republicans left with any integrity, not to mention common sense. Everyone else defending the Grifter needs to be shown the door.
She has more balls than every single elected congressman.
This is what PATRIOTISM looks like republicans. Your all traitors to my country.
Thank you, Ms. Cheney. You are a model for the Republicans. The Republi-clowns will never get it – McCarthy, Jordan, McConnell, etc………
Cheney, as in 9/11.
Shes just as pro-life and pro-gun as the rest of them.
Vote all republicans out
If the party (and those blinded supporters) continues this path, “it will be going down this path of not being salvageable”. Well said Liz Cheney.
https://youtu.be/m5ydS0H7HGY
We absolutely have a two tier justice system! You’d have to be living under a rock to not see that
The question is why? She no longer holds public office, was elected only because of who her father is and in no way distinguished herself during her political career but we need to hear from her?
I wish she would run fir president
Anyone but Trump and Chaney I would rather have then Trump!!!!!! And I’m not republican lol 😂
Lester interviewing bottom of the barrel.
Losing respect for Lester.
Sad. 😏
She’s history
And thank goodness goodness for that. She never even took care of her own people in her own state.
I appreciate what Liz Cheney did with the commission BUT she voted with the GOP 93% of the time.
When they leave the party they become so truthful!! I praise Liz for her strenght!!
This argument over whether there’s a two tier justice system in America is a blatant or thoughtless insult to black people who have suffered discrimination in the American judicial system from day one. Half of white America STILL call blacks liars for pointing out an unfair system but now again rich white folk crying victim.
America likely won’t last if it refuses to right it’s historical detestable wrongs
This warmonger has suddenly become the darling of the LEFT because she is against Trump,the LEFT indeed has no standard & value.. Garbage in ,garbage out.
How can anyone even consider Liz Cheney when we have Kamala Harris?
Liz Cheney ..what a good for nothing
Go Liz!
Give it up Liz – you sound like every other radical feminist.
Although I don’t agree with most of her views, I support her for standing up to a bully to preserve the beauty of America’s future, not as Republican or Conservative, or Constitutionalist but as a common sense American
