Republicans have been party before county for a long time. This asshat just reiterated that fact. Even treason and an attempted coup aren't enough to make most Republicans break ranks. They always fall in line.
A Ronald Reagan biographer said Thursday that he couldn’t figure out why the Reagan Presidential Library welcomed Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) a day prior as a participant in its “A Time for Choosing” speaker series.
Craig Shirley, who is also a conservative political consultant, told Laura Ingraham that the decision was “a mystery” to him.
Upon hearing that Cheney would be speaking at the event, Shirley said, “The first thing that came to my mind was Reagan’s famous Eleventh Commandment: ‘Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.’ And yet she’s made a career speaking ill of fellow Republicans, not just Donald Trump. So why they would have her there, I have no idea.”
The Reagan Foundation website describes the speaker series as a “forum for leading voices in the conservative movement to address critical issues facing the future of the Republican Party.” In her speech, Cheney called former President Donald Trump “a domestic threat that we have never faced before,” adding that “he is aided by Republican leaders and elected officials who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man.” Members of her party, she urged, “cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.”
Shirley predicted that the presidential library would face a backlash over its decision to host Cheney, the chair of the House Jan. 6 committee, which many Republicans in Congress have denigrated to Trump’s delight.
The library, Shirley said, “is going to see donations trickle down because of this and attendance trickle down because of this.”
