Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — stating she has “no faith” Johnson will “fulfill his constitutional obligations” as they pertain to certifying the 2024 election.
In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, moderator Kristen Welker — who had just interviewed Johnson moments earlier — brought in Cheney and asked her to weigh in.
“You just heard how the House Speaker answered my questions about whether he would certify the election results,” Welker said. “Do you have faith that this election will be free and fair and that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?”
Cheney proceeded to voice a complete lack of confidence that Johnson would certify the election if former President Donald Trump lost.

Why are you platforming Liz fucking Cheney? I heard the grand wizard of the KKK is worried about a Trump presidency, why don’t we interview him? Maybe do a seance and see how Henry Kissinger feels.
She’s on the right side of this issue, and has been publicly, at great personal cost. Let her help for Christ’s sake.
Associating with a torture advocate who claims Obama is a Kenyan Muslim is a bad look, even if they’re correct on this one issue.
The people who like her, islamophobes who believe the CIA should be torturing muslims who have never been charged with a crime, are not going to vote for Kamala. Even if Kamala came out and said she and Liz Cheney were going to feed every Muslim to a wood chipper, those people will still vote for the party everyone knows hate Muslims more.
The people who don’t like her, people who believe in basic human dignity, are more likely to stay home when they see the democrats trotting her out.
There’s millions of other people who are right on this issue, most of them have not spent the last 20 years defending the Iraq war.
And here we have a prime example of cutting off your nose to spite your face…
Do you think platforming Liz Cheney looks good to anyone who isn’t already “vote blue no matter who”?
Trump managed to look dovish next to the butcher of Libya in 2016, despite his big criticism of her Libya policy being that we didn’t steal their oil. Using a torture advocate to represent your party does not help your cause.
Yes. There do still exist Republican voters who imagine or want the Republican party to be what it was in the pre-Trump days. It is those people she is speaking to.
Yall learned nothing in 2016. Fascists will never vote for diet-fascism when the real thing is right there.
Of all the shitty things happening recently it’s always nice to be reminded that Kissinger is finally dead. At least sometimes good things happen.
