The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Liz Cheney understands the existential threat that Donald Trump poses to American and global democracy and has committed to stopping him even if it means opposing her own party. Cheney is a rare breed in modern politics and a servant of the Constitution. While Cheney, and her father, certainly have committed their fair share of blunders in the past, the former representative is committed to saving American democracy. After the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol, American leaders had to pick a side, and Liz Cheney chose the side of democracy.

Pro-Trump narrative

Liz Cheney is at best irrelevant, and at worst, she is a complicit war criminal and face of the wretched Washington establishment. Republican voters have rightfully abandoned Cheney and her neocon policies, so she has resorted to defaming former Pres. Trump on liberal media outlets. Cheney has been lying about Trump and insulting his supporters for nearly three years. The left ironically despises her for her support of "endless wars" and the right has rejected her for being a feature of swampish Beltway politics. Any campaign bid she makes is certain to fall flat.
