The new Young Guns speak out:
As the GOP seals the deal in excommunicating her from a leadership position, Republican legislators continue to go after Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who has been vocal in her accusations against members of her own party who she says, in pushing former President Donald Trump’s lie that he won the 2020 election, are “turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.”“Freedom only survives if we protect it,” Cheney tweeted on Tuesday, the eve of her ouster. “We must speak the truth.” In response, 34-year-old conspiracy theorist and QAnon follower Rep. Lauren Bobert (R-CO) tweeted, “Liz Cheney seems to be auditioning for a job with the Lincoln Project.” Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is currently under investigation for sex trafficking, tweeted a clip of himself being interviewed by Steve Bannon and wrote, “Liz Cheney is the masthead for the Establishment in Washington, D.C.” Freshman Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) also got in on the act, tweeting, “Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Liz Cheney”
Such rebels. So transgressive. Ooooh.
But they are rebels with a cause: Dear Leader, the bully in chief. He is their everything.
