Liz Cheney, the soon-to-be former representative from Wyoming who's acting as Nancy Pelosi's puppet on the Jan. 6 committee, told "Meet the Press" on Sunday the committee has no intention of giving former President Donald Trump a platform to address the country.
- Responding to a lay-up question by lapdog Chuck Todd about the potential for Trump testimony before the committee, which subpoenaed Trump last week, Cheney ruled out any kind of live appearance for the 45th president. She told Todd the committee did not want to give Trump the chance to turn the committee proceedings into a "food fight."
The committee has peddled the fiction that what took place on Jan. 6 was an "insurrection" fomented by the then-president that put "American democracy" at risk
- It was nothing of the kind.
- So far, the committee has been shielded by the all-too-accommodating mainstream media and the combination of indifference and contempt its proceedings have been viewed with by the segment of the country that's not obsessed with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
- A Trump appearance - even the word of a Trump appearance- would destroy that.
Cheney being Cheney couldn't admit that. And Chuck Todd being Chuck Todd couldn't pursue it.
- Plenty of social media users saw right through Cheney's act, particularly the line about not wanting to turn the committee's proceedings into a "circus."
- That "Jan 6 Commission" has been a circus from the beginning - nothing about it has been correct or legal.
Transparency Lizzy
- Cheney will out of office and her role as an influential figure in the Republican Party is at an end for now, and probably forever
- After leaving Congress and she'll have a wealth of opportunities to show up and pontificate on the cable news networks
- MSNBC and CNN would love to have her
- Fox might even want her
