Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) Likens Trump to a Chinese Communist Leader

 

While I do not agree with Rep. Cheney on any of her policies, she's spot on with this (this isn't policy):


In a podcast episode released Monday, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) likened former "President" Trump's rhetoric about U.S. democracy and elections to that of the Chinese Communist Party, the Washington Post reports. 

State of play: Cheney was ousted from her position as the No. 3 House Republican after publicly criticizing the former president’s baseless claims of election fraud. 

● Tensions between Cheney and Trump escalated after she voted for his impeachment on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. 

● Her ouster last month reflects how much loyalty to Trump has become institutionalized in the Republican Party. What they’re saying: "I think what Donald Trump did is the most dangerous thing, the most egregious violation of an oath of office of any president in our history,” Cheney said on "The Axe Files," a podcast hosted by former Obama adviser David Axelrod. 

● "When you listen to Donald Trump talk now, when you hear the language he’s using now, it is essentially the same things that the Chinese Communist Party, for example, says about the United States and our democracy,” Cheney said. 

● “When he says that our system doesn’t work … when he suggests that it’s, you know, incapable of conveying the will of the people, you know, that somehow it’s failed — those are the same things that the Chinese government says about us,” she added. “And it’s very dangerous and damaging … and it’s not true.”By Yacob Reyes



Here's what's interesting about Rep. Cheney's insightful observation: 

Trump cultists claim Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, are Communists, hell the trolls who come here daily call ME a "Communist" for posting the truth about Trump. 

And here is a bona fide Republican -- not a Trumpublican -- who tells the truth about who actually behaves, speaks, and is actually like a Communist: Trump!

Believe what a non-cultist says. Rep. Cheney is not blinded by Trump's con. Trump is on a one-man mission to kill American democracy, aided by his foolish cultists.

I probably would disagree with Cheney on virtually everything, but on this I agree 100%.

Cheney is too conservative for me and there is not many issues we would be in agreement on. But on this I certainly am in total and complete agreement.
