The people who vote for him won't see that because they, like those elsewhere in the country who would also vote for him or Trump, watch Fox news. Here's what they do see:

Talk about inane and insane whataboutism...

It's too bad she will likely go down to defeat in her primary with an election denying Trump-backed zealot. Wyoming has been described as the state with the most diehard-type Trumptoids on steroids. I don't know if that's true but they're likely as whacked as the freaks who vote for MTG in Georgia. Or Boebert in Colorado. Or "Louie Gomert" in Texas. I can't believe Texas, with all of its problems including its power grid debacle and the Uvalde tragedy, still shows Greg Abbott in the lead. Freakin ignorant diehard type Trumptiods...

No, I did not trust her before she became an Anti-Trumper.
Really? She knows she's committing political suicide by partaking in the Jan6th committee and telling the truth so how is that possibly "getting ahead" in your mind?

Well, in the case we've been discussing, Liz Cheney, it's quite obvious she knew what would happen, ie she would lose her congressional seat, if she participated in the committee and she did it anyway. Since she hails from Wyoming, her political career is effectively over...

I don't think they thought that, either. Kinzinger decided not to run again so he's out too. It's obvious both Cheney and Kinzinger knew what they would be up against. They should both get profiles in courage awards...

Well, I'd have to see the exact messaging buy you'd expect that given her vote against Trump during the house impeachment trial.

They will be sure they are right when they learn this is how their opposition, the Dems, feel about it!
Given the fact that virtually all of the witnesses who have provided testimony are Republicans, including Trump loyalists,  it isn't "how the Democrats feel about it", it's a matter of providing the truth of the events of Jan 6th and the courage to bring it to the forefront of the public. The Trump loyalists from WH who've testified last night should be recognized too as it wouldn't surprise me if they'll be ostracised for doing so. But Kinzinger, a former air force fighter pilot, and Cheney, a well known congresswoman, have effectively eliminated themselves from the political arena in their efforts so they deserve recognition for taking a stand in the face of bitter opposition from the majority of their constituents who continue to believe in the big lie.

I didn't know this until later this evening but when the Jan 6th committee was live on Thursday, Fox, as usual, wouldn't show it and they happened to be interviewing Josh Hawley at the same time!
From other sources: Hawley ran faster than Forrest Gump! Hawling ass!

It is insane the resources wasted. And I also mean the resources wasted on the Russian lie. I can't respect a person's thinking that refuses to admit it was a big fraud. Remarkable.
"My point is it is ridiculous! Not gonna happen. The people in his inner circle did not think it was gonna happen."
False, there were people in his inner circle--Giuliani, Powell, Flynn, Eastman and others, who did think it was going to happen and who still think that it should...
