Liz Cheney needs to stop citing the Constitution – she’s trampled it her entire career

Since when has anyone named Cheney felt obligated to uphold the Constitution? Set aside for a moment whether or not you believe Trump is a threat to constitutional order or anything else.

Let’s remember where Cheney has been a threat to the rule of law and our constitutional republic…

But if the War on Terror her father waged and Obama continued to oversee was also a war on the Constitution, Mrs. Cheney was all in on that battle too.

"The same congresswoman who now warns that former President Donald Trump threatens the 'foundations of our constitutional republic' has not cared about the most basic precepts of the U.S. Constitution for most of her career."@jackhunter74 with the ?:https://t.co/kRDwyrjCcz

A good example was when Cheney was promoting and defending CIA operative Gina Haspel in 2018, Trump’s pick to head that agency. Cheney said Haspel “spent her career defending the American people” and her critics were simply “defending terrorists.”

Haspel had a documented role in waterboarding abroad and other “enhanced interrogation tactics,” including covering up America’s role in carrying out these atrocities.

Constitutional liberties and protections, and the United States’ moral complicity in engaging in this illegal behavior, mattered little to Cheney at the time.
