TODD: There\u2019s a phrase I like to use: The Tyranny of the Or. Sometimes people will allow themselves to be trapped into the Tyranny of the Or. “You can do this or this.” Sometimes you can do this and this. But people\u2019s mindsets get trapped into the Tyranny of the Or, and this is what the mockingbird media members want to do with people and Liz Cheney, what they want to do with Republicans and Liz Cheney.<\/p>\n

If you are not a fan of President Trump\u2019s personality, then you\u2019re on the Liz Cheney side of the fence. If you\u2019re a fan of President Trump\u2019s personality, well, then you\u2019re with the terrorists. So let\u2019s break this down a little bit as Liz Cheney has been kicked from this leadership role, and we had people like, in Washington state, Jaime Herrera Beutler. This is how the Seattle Times explained it:<\/p>\n

“Jamie Herrera Beutler will vote this week to retain … Liz Cheney in the House leadership, in another break with the pro-[President] Trump wing of the Republican Party.” What if you\u2019re actually anticommunism? What you\u2019re actually pro-America? What if you\u2019re actually against critical race theory? What if you\u2019re pro reality and men and women and people who feel differently, but it doesn\u2019t change biology?<\/p>\n

What if you\u2019re actually someone who believes that maybe it\u2019s not a good idea that we cozy up to the CCP? What if you\u2019re someone who believes, “Probably we should shut down Antifa and Black Lives Matter incorporated, find out who\u2019s funding them and put them in prison”? Does that make you pro-Trump? Well, no. It makes Trump pro-you! (Snort!) That\u2019s what that makes.<\/p>\n

\"\"So is this Tyranny of the Or, and they\u2019re trying to set Liz Cheney as the new Mitt Romney, the new Republican of “conscience.” I will not be ruled by the Tyranny of the Or. I loved 90% of what President Trump did by policy. So I, therefore, learned to like his personality, be okay with it. Sometimes he says things that bothered me and so does everybody. But listen to the hubris here. Listen to this. In D.C., Liz Cheney, she was voted out, she did not go without making clear, she prefers Joe Biden\u2019s dementia, turning America into China to Donald Trump\u2019s personality.<\/p>\n

LIZ CHENEY: I am, uh, absolutely committed as I said last night and as I said just now to my colleagues that we must go forward based on truth. We cannot both embrace the Big Lie and embrace the Constitution, and going forward, the nation needs it. The nation needs a strong Republican Party. The nation needs a party that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism, and I am committed and dedicated to ensuring that that\u2019s how this party goes forward and I plan to lead the fight to do that.<\/p>\n

I, uh, will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think that the party is in a place that we\u2019ve gotta bring it back from and we\u2019ve gotta get back to a position where we are a party that can fight for conservative principles, that can fight for substance. We cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.<\/p>\n
