Liz Cheney is desperate to destroy Republicans.
Former Representative Liz Cheney, a vocal critic of former President Trump, issued a stark warning about the rise of what she termed a “Putin wing” within the Republican Party, emphasizing the critical need to prevent its ascent to the White House.
During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Cheney didn’t mince words in her condemnation of Trump’s recent remarks indicating hesitance to defend NATO allies in the event of a Russian attack and his conspicuous silence following the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, a staunch advocate for anti-corruption and democracy.
Expressing her concerns, Cheney asserted, “We cannot dismiss Donald Trump lightly. The emergence of a Putin wing within the Republican Party demands our serious attention.”
She underscored the paramount importance of thwarting any attempts by the “Putin wing” to gain control of the West Wing, emphasizing that this was the central issue of the current election cycle.
Despite refraining from making any formal endorsements for the presidency and keeping her own electoral intentions under wraps, Cheney affirmed her unwavering commitment to preventing Trump’s return to the presidency by any means necessary.
Responding to Trump’s recent remarks regarding NATO, Cheney sharply criticized his stance, labeling it as “disgraceful” and warning of its dangerous implications for national security. She emphasized that any Republicans continuing to support Trump in light of such remarks would be held accountable.
Drawing a parallel between Trump’s rhetoric and Navalny’s fate, Cheney pointed to the chilling resemblance between Trump’s pledges of retribution against political opponents and the authoritarian actions of leaders like Putin.
In essence, Cheney’s remarks underscored the urgency of safeguarding American democracy and national security against the encroachment of authoritarian ideologies within the political landscape.
