Liz Cheney is leaving no stone unturned as she torches the remnants of a once-cordial relationship with congressional conservatives.
Since losing Wyoming's Republican primary to Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman Cheney has seemingly been on a warpath throughout the halls of Congress. As one of the two Republicans serving on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6th riot, it's no secret Cheney has been bending to Democrats bidding for some time now but now more people are speculating if Cheney is planning to officially abandon the GOP.

In the weeks leading to Election Day, Cheney has been increasingly critical of conservative candidates across the country- especially those backed by Donald Trump. The outgoing Congresswoman has also been increasingly vocal about her support for a number of Democrats, even going as far as to extend her own personal endorsement for their campaigns.
Cheney has been laser-focused on attacking Arizona candidates as Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Senate candidate Blake Masters are on the cusp of victory.
Last month, Cheney attempted to dissuade voters from supporting the candidates and said she would rather vote for Democrats if given the chance. (RELATED: Liz Cheney Betrays Republicans Again, Backs Democrat Arizona Candidate)
โI don't know that I have ever voted for a Democrat. But if I lived in Arizona now, I absolutely would, for governor and for secretary of state,โ Cheney said, during an appearance at a McCain Institute event in Tempe last month.
Prior to that, Cheney made remarks attacking Lake saying she planned โto do everything in [she] canโ to prevent her from winning the election.
Last week, Cheney cemented her ouster from the GOP by officially choosing to endorse Democrat incumbent Rep.ย Elissa Slotkin. (RELATED: Liz Cheney Endorses Her First Democrat)
The outgoing Congresswoman also endorsed Ohio Senate candidate Tim Ryan who is locked in a contentious battle against Trump-endorsed candidate J.D. Vance. RealClearPolitics has ranked the race as โleans GOPโ but the race is expected to be close. (RELATED: New Poll Reports Ohio Senate Candidates Separated by Only 1 Point)
โI would not vote for J.D. Vance,โ Cheney said. When Woodruff asked Cheney if she would vote for Ryan if she were an Ohio-registered voter, Cheney replied: โI would.โ ย
However, Cheney's most recent endorsement has finally locked her in as a Republican traitor. On Tuesday, the Representative endorsed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for another term holding the Speaker's gavel while calling her a โtremendous leader.โ
According to The Federalist, Cheney delivered remarks at the City Club in Cleveland with PBS's Judy Woodruff where she offered glowing remarks about Pelosi before once again trying to deter people from voting for Republicans in this year's midterms
โThere are many, many issues, maybe most issues, on which we disagree. But I think that she is a tremendous leader. I've watched her up close. She is a leader of historic consequence.โ
โPeople just need to understand what it will mean to have a Republican majority in the House of Representatives,โ Cheney said. โThe people who will be running the House of Representatives in a Republican majority will give authority and power to some of the most radical members of Congress and I don't think that that's good for the country.โ
Yikes.
How far will Cheney go to distance herself from the Republican Party before leaving office? Tell us what pathetic move she'll make next in the comments below!

Based on her continuing actions, this is what Cheney apparently believes:
โThe people who ARE running the House of Representatives in a democrat majority give authority and power to some of the most radical members of Congress and I think that thatโs good for the country.โ
she left the party when she agree to be part of the kangaroo court, AKA the Jan 6th committee
She was gone before then, that was the proverbial nail in her Republican credentials.
It’s just like a cheater,,,,, once cheater always a cheater ,,, same goes for Cheney,,,, once a traitor always a traitor the stain will never go away and by her actions she continues her scornful March trying to impose upon the people rather than listening to the people who ultimately put her in the box seat to begin with,,,, perfect example of a rino,, and someone shooting themselves in the foot,,, she’s taken lessons from daddy instead of shooting her friend she shot her own foot
So very true she has no idea how liberal she really is and to support pelosi is like shotting your own foot.not the brightest
Lizzy, honey, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging!
The characteristics of a RHINO(RINO) politician is they are: Power hungry, Grudge, Control and Money. Liz Cheney is doing exactly that. It is not about serving the people of this God given country. She should resign from Republican Party and politics as well because she is playing dirty politics right now. The chemicals on her hair is making it worse these days.
She does not need to resign.The party has taken out the trash, and shut the lid. Not supported for her primary is a clear signal. Read the room Liz.
What a relief to know Liz is history. Give her a broom and she can ride next to Nancy.
Itโs sad to see Liz Cheney so upset that she would do anything to hurt the Republicans! She is so worried about Democracy and is making a lot of enemies. I think she should take a good hard look at herself!
Lizzy knows she’s gone no one will have her so she’s gonna say bad things about any and all Republicans. She will be thrown to the garbage pile as soon as the elite leftists are done using her. She is garbage just like her war criminal daddy
Cheney is a sickening back hitter, just like her father
Liz Cheney must really hate people that disagree with her. Sorry Liz I hope someday youโll see the light.
As being coerced by Nancy. If you don’t follow the queendom, I will squash you!
Poor Lizzy, you need to try and restore your self-dignity and do the honorable thing as demonstrated by the Ancient Ninja–Try Seppuku.
This must be a joke – “Has Liz Cheney abandoned the Republican party?” The fact is the Republican Party has long since dumped her sorry carcass.
This is one REALLY sick woman. Her life revolves around Donald Trump, and her hate for him. If she had a life, she could stop this crap and try to live it. She is done in politics and I can’t say how happy I am for that. She’s a real Bi–ch.
Liz is a hate-filled person and needs to join the Dems where she belongs. The Republicans will be happy to be rid of her. She is a traitor to her party and the country. She has painted herself into a corner where neither party will trust her.
Cheney endorsing Tim Ryan is just another reason not to vote for him. Thanks Liz
Liz – How much is Nancy Pelosi paying you to side with the Evil Democrats? I am so sick and tired of liberals claiming that Republicans are a “threat to democracy” Our country is not a “democracy” our country is a “Republic”.
Whenever you hear ANYONE say ‘our democracy’ you have to know they must be too dumb to understand the United States is a Republic, or it is the new code word for Communism with Democrats using the word. Use caution when you hear the wing-nuts using ‘democracy’ in a sentence.
YES! Remember the Communist states were all ‘People’s Democratic Republics.’ Mob rule resulted in the rise snd rule of a few Orwellian swine who liquidated the revolutionaries as ‘;useful idiots.’
Have you ever heard the saying, “you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face”? That’s what you’re doing Lizzy. I think you need to get some mental help.
Well, Liz, you’ve spent most of your time lately kissing their butts, so it really doesn’t matter whether or not you vote for them, does it?
If you get real lucky, She can and speak against your favorite candidate. A free boost in the polls. Almost as good as Biden talking shit about you…Score!.
One thing is evident, Pelosi is indeed a very smart woman: A) she was able to identify the two Rinos that would be agreeable to whatever plan the kangaroo committeeโs objectives were. B) that the Cheney โgirlโ would be the perfect targetโฆentitled, loves the limelight, self-absorbed; making her now an orphan of the Republican Party looking for adoptive parents. Good luck, Lizzie!
why are you continuing this charade, lez..if you endorse a dem then that tells Republicans who you truly are….GIVE IT UP…YOU LOSE
