LIz Cheney, who suffered a crushing loss Tuesday night to Trump backed rival Harriet Hageman in her congressional primary contest, went on to compare herself to Abraham Lincoln during her Tuesday night concession speech.
As Fox News reports:
Following her primary election defeat to Harriet Hageman Tuesday evening, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., used her concession speech to compare herself to former President Abraham Lincoln and hinted that her future in politics might not be finished just yet.
“The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all,” Cheney told a crowd of supporters in Jackson, Wyoming. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”
“Speaking at Gettysburg of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said that, ‘We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth.’ As we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and most important task,” she added.
Talk has been swirling that Cheney, knowing she would lose to Hageman, was possibly planning a run for president in 2024, and a large portion of her speech focused on attacking former President Donald Trump over his questioning of the results of the 2020 presidential election, and arguing that he should never be elected president again.
Former President Trump rejoiced at the news of Cheney’s defeat on Tuesday night, calling it a ‘wonderful result.’
lizzy is just another commie democrat pedophile protector out to destroy America
???? No Not really
Get over it Liz, no one, not even DemocRats, like a RINO! And by the way, you couldn’t shine Abraham Lincoln’s shoes.
The south end of a north bound donkey!
She had a decent Republican voting record but her Hate for Trump on a personal level overcame all Republican principles. Hate harms the Hater most.
Is that Brian Mast in the picture with Cheney?
First chaney does not have a beard or maybe she does. If she does and didn’t shave, she would look better. I am bald but have a better chance of growing hair that chaney has of ever getting elected for anything but dog poop picker upper. That is her real calling dog sh_t. I really can’t think of anything else she is really good for.
It’s so interesting when politicians compare themselves to past GREAT Presidents and others who have SERVED Our Country. Especially interesting when they’ve done NOTHING at all in which to compare themselves to that GREATNESS! The People should make “the so-called” comparison, at least by doing so, it may have some validity to the claim?
I am pretty sure she was referring to Mary Todd Lincoln. The one who tossed a glass of whisky into Abraham’s face.
What a narcissist
Liz Cheney is anything but “pathetic “. She may have been defeated politically for the time being, but at least she had the guts to stand up to the villainy , megalomania bullying and. malignant narcissism of. the worst president in US history – Donald Trump , who must be held responsible for his crimes !
Bobby, baby, you have just GOT to get back on your meds.
I’m tired of responding to this fool. I’m done, Bobby. It’s all yours. May you seek effective counseling.
Democrats, like tics are hard to get rid of . . .
I’m sure she’s crying with her crying buddy from Illinois, Adam something or other. He couldn’t get elected dog catcher either. Great day yesterday.
Let’s hope Alaska does the same thing to Lisa M.
