Not So Strange Bedfellows

Why did Liz Cheney climb into bed with Nancy Pelosi, and become part of Pelosi’s partisan January 6th commission? Why is she so intent on branding all of Trump supporters “domestic terrorists”? Why would she go after tens of millions of the very same Americans who voted for her father for Vice President twice? Why would she go after her voting base? We, all have seen the video from January 6th – most of the people at the Capital, the people that Liz Cheney is calling “domestic terrorists” were middle-aged Americans going to a rally to support a President they loved in his last days in office.

And that is the problem, they supported Donald Trump. That’s their crime. Republicans like Liz Cheney, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, and Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Adam Schiff claim they opposed Trump because of the “vitriol” that he brought to American Politics. His mean tweets, and his arrogance were a threat to our democracy. But there are plenty of politicians who tweet inappropriate things, and have an over-inflated ego. And vitriol existed in Washington long before Trump entered the ring. Republicans used personal attacks to go after Clinton and Obama, and the Democrats did the same to Reagan and the Bushes.
