Kevin McCarthy Backs Liz Cheney’s Challenger, Escalating a Party Feud
nytimesAUG 2021
According to the upside-down rules of today's Republican Party, telling the truth about the grave threat to our democracy posed by Trump, his lies, and his embrace of violence as a means of political discourse makes you a "Republican in Name Only" (RINO). Conservativism has been hijacked by a loyalty cult devoted to one corrupt man.
Cheney herself has broken ranks with the GOP, donating the maximum amount to her own colleague Thomas Massie's (R-KY) primary challenger in 2020. Now she's stuck appealing to the Radical Left "Never Trumpers" to fund her flailing campaign in a state where voters overwhelmingly back Trump's GOP.
