While it is admirable that Rep. Liz Cheney hasn’t backed down from her position that Donald Trump is “unfit” and “should “never again can be anywhere close to the Oval Office,” it’s also important to note that her loyalty still lies with the Republican Party. That was made clear during an interview with AXIOS’s Jonathan Swan, as the Wyoming congresswoman seemed to support some of the restrictive voting bills being passed:

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) told “Axios on HBO” that she won’t support Democrats in their fight against the GOP’s push for more restrictive voting laws — a sign that she’ll be no hero to the resistance.

Why it matters: Ten days after losing her House Republican post, Cheney is trying to put former President Trump’s Big Lie about the election in a silo. She doesn’t accept the larger context: Republicans spent years fertilizing the soil for voters to believe that voter fraud is rampant.

The publication goes on to say that “Cheney disputed any linkage between Trump’s false claims about 2020 and the current flurry of GOP efforts at the state level to pass new restrictions.” Watch above.
