There’s a lot of buzz on Twitter today surrounding Rep. Liz Cheney by people who considered her the devil yesterday but now love her, because she’s said in a statement that she will vote to impeach President Trump.
Liz Cheney not only will vote to impeach but she is saying so early & forcefully. This statement does not spare Trump one bit: "None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not"

Democratic strategist Greg Pinelo says Cheney’s become the 2024 Republican front-runner, leaving the others in the dust.
Liz Cheney just became the front-runner for the 2024 nomination of whatever remains of the Republican Party. Brilliant move.

Sasse, Rubio, any of the other GOP Presidential hopefuls for 2024 missed the moment. Rubio's already on the record against impeachment, Sasse got left in Cheney's dust.

New York Times COVID reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg also wouldn’t be surprised to see Cheney run for president in 2024.

She’s going to be shocked to find out that the liberal press giving her praise now will turn on her the second she votes the other way

Here’s Politico’s Tim Alberta:
This is the definition of leadership. Not waiting around to see what colleagues will do, not reacting to how constituents feel, not worrying about the consequences of doing what’s right. https://t.co/H9uThFVotv

And Politico editor Carrie Budoff Brown is re-upping a Politico piece comparing Cheney to Margaret Thatcher.

Lol now they are praising Liz Cheney

Does she actually have any real supporters? I struggle to understand what demographic she would appeal to.

She won 3 of 4 votes her in home state

I'd vote Bernie Sanders over Cheney and I'm a conservative. No more neocons.

But the experts say she’s the front-runner already … in the 2024 version of the Republican Party, which will be identical to the Democratic Party once the “large cancerous tumor” is removed. Cheney will never win, though, because they’ll go through her life history and destroy her for being a Republican.
