- CNN's John Avlon sounds off on the opposition Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is facing from the Republican party due to her refusal to back former President Donald Trump's claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

"Power and money over ethics." Absolutely.
Sounds like the DNC to me.
@@brianschuetz2614 You might want to get your ears checked then. When certain groups start to say that the election was stolen and there's bamboo fibers all over ballots, that makes you question their sanity. Or when a candidate for governor tells their constituents that you shouldn't trust the election results but only "me and my campaign", you might want to question their integrity. Or it's a typo. The R and the D are very close on the keyboard.
@C0RN P0P I’m an independent. It’s also spelled forget, not for get. And I didn’t forget about Russian interference in both 2016 and 2020 or the 2 real impeachments that actually happened. he was never convicted by the Senate but he was impeached by the House. Twice. Also the insurrection on January 6th. The question is if this is all fake in your mind, then how does all of this seem illogical while believing that the 2020 election was stolen with no actual evidence that it was? Also remember that his lawyers and Fox News, etc all rescinded their claims in court to a judge? Was it a fake judge? Your logic might suggest yes.
@C0RN P0P Typical response filled with insults. Again, it's "you're pathetic my guy" not "your pathetic my guy". Hopefully you learn to understand what the GOP is doing before our democracy is gone. I don't have to be affiliated with a political party to have "grounds in the political spectrum". That's the tribal mindset of us versus them. I'm an independent because I share views with both main political parties and some of the minor political parties.
@@brianschuetz2614 It's Republicans all day long since they are a bunch of whiners who lie, cheat manipulate, and a bunch of conspiracy theorists who laugh at you all for being dumb and gullible
Is Kevin McCarthy related to Joseph McCarthy? I mean what a weird coincidence.
They have so much in common, perhaps Kevin will get his comeuppance too.
@Willie Dynamite Lol. Exactly!
I was thinking the same thing
They are.... history always repeats itself. The key is to learn from it!
Right?
Selling one’s soul to the devil will live with the cowards forever.
The problem is they'll be too cowardly to face it. When they can't hold on to Trump anymore they'll go and pretend like it didn't happen so the next asshole can wear their parties corpse and pretend to have something of substance to say.
@@MrBrianHibbs yes true enough. But there will be the moments when they can't look in the mirror because they can't face what they have become. Thats when the mental Karma kicks in and they become irritable, restless and discontented. They will probably start to drink a bit more and fly off the handle quicker etc. It will be a slow decline and only internally at first. These people will look like they have it all but on the inside they will be at breaking point and spiritually bankrupt. They won't be able to sit with themselves and just be. They will always have to be doing something to take their mind off of their thoughts. Its not a great place where they are heading trust me I've been there.
This is the exact comparison to make with what is going on now. I have seen this for a year or more. Thank you
Very good comparison of history and facts. The GOP has become the party of lies and insanity.
@Ral Deform Well, at one point in ancient history the GOP actually had some elected members with some degree of character, integrity, and sense of duty to the country. Recall that Barry Goldwater and others went to Nixon and told him they would vote to impeach if Nixon did not resign. And Eisenhower was a republican who is generally recognized as fairly good. But the current GOP is much different and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
why are you all celebrating that warcriminal psychopath liz cheney?
Liz and others are being punished for refusing to lie to their constituents. That's just about as backwards as it gets.
I may not see eye to eye with her on many issues, but I'm proud of her for holding strong to the truth, in the face of so much pressure from her own party to push the Big Lie.
She should wear this punishment like a badge of honor.👍
Yep, basically Lies and Greed are what the Republican Party sees as their only ticket to gaining power, regardless of how many people get hurt along the way.
@@ckendall67 You're watching CNN and you want to talk about lies? Just goes to show what kind of cognitive undeveloped humans we'll be fighting in the upcoming civil war you next gen. Nazi's are enforcing on this country. It will be the easiest civil war in the history of humanity. DNC and their brainwashed subordinates' time is running out. Tick-tock. Reap what you sow.
@@apep7188 yes we do and will reap what we sow. Only this time; the real "war" is biblical...
@@daneseahippler-grantfrew5720 The easiest civil war in the history of mankind is not something to call biblical. Democrats couldn't defend their fridge from a toddler even if they tried hard. They stand no chance.
All democrats have is their blatant propoganda which barely anyone on the planet still watches. Propoganda doesn't win wars, soldiers do.
@@apep7188Oh... we're on two different pages. Republicans or Democrats hasn't anything to do with what I am talking about. Sorry...
you forgot to mention that it is the women who have the courage of their convictions , every time
I was there listening to radio 1950-53, and the parallels are terrifying
I wasn't there to the 1830ies elections, but I like to compare Andrew Jackson with the most recent former guy. I thought the intro was on Jackson, until he mentioned "lone woman" and then revealed Chase Smith.

"Until Republicans return to reality and become responsible, they should not be trusted with power again."
That's been obvious for some time, the same warning I have been advocating, but it's good that Rep. Maloney is amplifying that message. More Americans need to understand this.
Not "should not be", CAN NOT be.
@@emsleywyatt3400 ~ Or, MUST NOT be....
Would you mind linking where that quote is from? Seems like a good read
Democrats f&cking Disgust me. Thanks for letting my city burn. Because your leaders were too pathetic to stand up to their voter base.
@@HellWrex ~ The words were spoken to a reporter during a video interview, which the network had also posted on RUclips. There are actually two Representatives in Congress currently with the last name 'Maloney,' and the quote here belongs to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, if that helps.

The Republican Party in a nutshell.
And the country. Trump's efforts to usurp democratic institutions are reminiscent of how Hitler - another unlikely demagogue at first - came to power in Germany.
Ideology is the foundation of personality... "As a man thinks so is he"
A man may approve of his beliefs in his mind, but God looks at the ❤️
Ironic. Democrats have literally done nothing other than spreading fear and hatred for half a decade. Time of dialogue is over. Civil war needs to happen and it needs to happen now. DNC and it's supporters hate America more than our sworn enemies like Iran.
@Liren Hernandez We all tend to laugh at what we don't understand.. And telling the truth is the most painful thing you can ever do to someone.
@@apep7188 It's not Democrats fault that you babies are so afraid of the world you have to exist in a fantasy.
@Liren Hernandez Mam, you are the one on your high horse.. And bringing up Trump? LOL, the man lives in your head.. Let it go!
John, love your quote on this paRTy consumed by fear that is today's republican den of thieves:
"leadership, redefined to mean unquestioning followers. BRAVO AS ALWAYS!
Have to be sticking your head in the ground to not daily recognize the policies of fear coming out of the Democratic party. Racial division, class warfare, unsound economic policies, all to pander for votes. Lincoln was right when he said you cannot fool all the people all of the time!!! And that time has come for the Democratic party. Democrats keep getting exposed for their dishonesty and socialistic agenda of wealth distribution, more power for the government, ignoring the actually reality of the results of their disastrous policies on this country.
2:17 forward is the best part of Avlon's note. Regardless that this is an opinion piece, there is no that a conservative can give on why Cheney is facing replacement outside of she is not a Trump zealot. No legislative reason, just she made the unforgiveable sin of not blindly following Trump.
She could have openly stated she thought the election was fair and true(no one would've said a word)She went with the MSM of it is all a lie.The MSM called it a lie BEFORE ANY RECOUNTS OR AUDITS.If you are not smart enough to see the problem,propaganda.
It's pretty bad when the voice of reason in their party is actual hellspawn. Rofl
best quote of the day
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Brilliant! 👍👏!

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." ~ Charles Bukowski
"Everybody has a right to their opinion, but nobody has a right to be wrong in their facts." ~ Bernard Baruch, quoted in 1946 AP article.
“It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.”

“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” ~ James A. Baldwin
"When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent." ~ Isaac Asimov
“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.” ~ Ulysses S. Grant, 1875
"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” ~ Typically misattributed to Sinclair Lewis, the original source of this quote is unknown, but likely derived from labor activist Eugene V. Debs 1917 quote, "Every robber or oppressor in history has wrapped himself in a cloak of patriotism or religion, or both."
Before World War II, Charles Lindbergh typified American heroism with his daring flights, including the first solo transatlantic flight, and his celebration of new technology. He parlayed his fame and heroic stature into a leading role in the America First movement, which opposed America’s entrance into the war against Nazi Germany. In 1939, in an essay entitled “Aviation, Geography, and Race,” published in that most American of journals, Reader’s Digest, Lindbergh embraced something close to Nazism for America:
"It is time to turn from our quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. This alliance with foreign races means nothing but death to us. It is our turn to guard our heritage from Mongol and Persian and Moor, before we become engulfed in a limitless foreign sea."
The America First movement was the public face of pro-fascist sentiment in the United States at that time. In the twenties and thirties, many Americans shared Lindbergh’s views against immigration, especially by non-Europeans. The Immigration Act of 1924 strictly limited immigration into the country, and it was specifically intended to restrict the immigration of both nonwhites and Jews.
Once again, nationalism, aka fascism, has risen its ugly head in America, in European nations, and in some other countries around the world. The fight of good people against ignorance, the fears that sprout from it, the hate which then blossoms, culminating in the bitter toxic fruit of evil, senseless brutalities and deaths, is a constant, never-ending battle we fear, but it is a battle from which we must never shrink.
In this era, the likes of Toxic Trump and Marginalized Greene have become the face of the new "America First" fascist movement built up over the last four decades by the GOP, Reich-wing plutocrats, demagogues, and media. But, as with Lindbergh, the American people gradually come to recognize their dysfunctional poison and reject it. Most Americans understand, accept, and appreciate that the enduring strength of America is that we are a nation of immigrants and multiculturalism, a "melting pot" where the best ideas rise to the top, and superficial differences are meaningless in the face of our common humanity and purpose. Most Americans want competent leaders who speak truth, who strive to unite, who are not corrupt, who care about them. So, it should come as no surprise that President Biden is already receiving high marks from the public, while Toxic Trump never managed to rise above even a 50% approval rating. To conclude where begun, the following quotes are submitted for further reflection:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." ~ George Santayana
"History doesn't repeat itself. But it does rhyme. ~ Mark Twain
"That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history." ~ Aldous Huxley
"If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us! But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern which shines only on the waves behind." ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Damn! Well said

Hello Nura61 👋 how are you doing today? I am very sorry to review your profile, your comments are always worth reading, do you mind us being friends 😊
Best commentary ever, John!!!! Bravo!!!! 👍
Defend Truth and Democracy .
Liz Chaney is playing the long game to have a shot at the first female President.
Maybe but maybe this is about not be in the tribe of untruth, fear and nationalism is not for her. Hawley wants to be president too but he is trying a different strategy
That's our plan. All you libtards, plus us Republicans, will vote for her because you think she hates Trump and then we'll have a conservative back in the White House.
perhaps, but she could simply beleive in Rule of Law
@Willie Dynamite Sssh...You're not supposed to know. I've said too much already.
I hope not! He father was a horrible V.P.
"Declaration of conscience!"
Liberals should stop canonizing Liz Cheney for doing the bare minimum.
Yes, once Republicans stop idolizing their Orange Mango Idol who did nothing but rip off America, kill Americans, eat fast food, incite an insurrection and golf. Yeah, Trump did a lot.... to destroy America.
Liz Cheney is a brave soul💕 she is on the right side of history 😘 The other Republicans that want to strip her of her duty‘s are just wrong so very wrong🥵
Hello Liz Cheney 👋 your right about that..and am very sorry to review your profile, your comments are always worth reading, do you mind us being friends 😊
Full circle.

All for political power and monetary gain!
I never like Liz Cheney or any of the Republicans but she is looking a lot better to me now that she has shown that she has integrity and has stood up against Trump and his lies! More of them should do that. The Party should never be more important than the truth!

Liz Cheney might as well be a Democrat.
please explain how she is even remotely a democrat?
This is the LAST CHANCE for "Conservatives" to take their party back, or it will just be a Cult.
They cannot vote Democratic....they never will...so whomever is not
The GOP is dying from self inflicted wounds and no one seems able to stop the bleeding.
I’d be scared too if I were that stupid.

I wonder what Trump learned anything from Roy about the Koch Brothers and their father’s vision.
I remember (from childhood) how Margaret Chase Smith was practically idolized in our household. My parents were staunch and active Republicans, serving in the county GOP central committee and running the local GOP headquarters. I walked precincts at the age of 10. By the time they died during the farce of Shrub's tenure, neither of them would vote GOP. If they were alive today, disgust wouldn't be strong enough to express how they'd feel about what their party has become.
