Liz Cheney wants Republicans to remember what they keep trying to forget
CNN
In the HBO series "The Leftovers," there is a group called the "Guilty Remnant" that seeks to remind people that 2% of the world's population suddenly disappeared. They dress in all white, smoke and generally make it impossible for people to forget what they once were -- before the departed.
Liz Cheney is the "Guilty Remnant" of the Republican Party. The Wyoming lawmaker has, repeatedly, sought to remind Republicans of what they so badly want to forget: That attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the subsequent riot at the US Capitol are diametrically opposed to the principles the party had long espoused.
"Republicans used to advocate fidelity to the rule of law and the plain text of the Constitution," Cheney wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Thursday. "In 2020, Mr. Trump convinced many to abandon those principles. He falsely claimed that the election was stolen from him because of widespread fraud. While some degree of fraud occurs in every election, there was no evidence of fraud on a scale that could have changed this one."
