Congresswoman Liz Cheney lectured Fox News host Bret Baier on Thursday in a heated interview about her ouster from the GOP leadership, and the importance of Americans knowing that the 2020 presidential election wasn't stolen. The Wyoming Republican said that Fox News had an "obligation" to make sure viewers knew a second term in the White House wasn't stolen from former President Donald Trump in November last year as Baier defended the network. Fox News hosts, including Baier, have previously pushed back on guests trying to cast doubt over the 2020 election result. The network also ran a package debunking
She's "all in" on the election scam. What would anyone expect her to say?

Our forebears knew that the world was flat, until ocean voyages proved that premise was false. Maybe a complete, fair audit will yield nothing, especially since so much time has gone by and evidence could have been destroyed. But acting like it is totally believable that a demented old fool like Joe Biden could get more votes than Obama is worth quirking an eyebrow. Leaving Trump out of the argument, Obama was youngish, black, and got a lot of votes from young people and women of all racial and ethnic groups. No one will convince me that Biden was inspirational enough to motivate a more massive voter turnout.
Liz needs to save her finger-wagging until the facts are determined.

Election law allows 22 months to audit an election, Cheney. What is your problem with an audit? All publicly traded corporations are required to have one every year. I can tell you this, Liz, not one of the election locals could get a CPA firm to certify their procedures, or their results, because of a total lack of internal controls, and a total failure of following election procedures, and for a total lack of objective oversight. Liz and Romney are hateful and spiteful individuals that have no support in the Republican Party, and will only be used by the Democrats, then thrown away.

I think it was stolen but what I am sure about is it is unknowable based on the data we have now There is no basis for asking Fox News to chide people if they don't express one opinion over another Ms. Cheney you must keep track always of what you do not know.

WAS stolen. The audit in Arizona is proving it.
She's a lunatic, next she'll get a harpoon and go after Trump from the bow of a small boat.

Fiery interview? Hardly. Predictable. Forgettable. Her only role is filler for CNN/MSNBC while they ignore Biden Chaos.

Mrs. Cheney the media and the liberals don't care how it was done, nor does she care 'who d . I disagree with President Trump on many levels (mostly matters of style rather than substance), nevertheless I have no doubt that the election was "stolen". I am 75 years old and I have seen every liberal trick in their arsenal. The left has no morality, no honesty, and no religious scruples. What they do have is a ravenous appetite for POWER. They care not how they get it, what it does to the nation, and what it does to the populous. To the left, the voters are mere checkers, hopping (with the guiding left hand of their masters) from square to square , leaving their trash behind them..

She really doesn't get it. We don't like her or her politics; we really don't. I hope she loses her seat in the next election and realizes that a run for the Presidency would be a waste of time and money.

I look at her and I see her big mouthed, swamp loving, entitled, father. It's not a pretty sight. She doesn't have her daddy's ability to slide around issues. She wallows right into the discussion head first with her two lines of dialogue. What a tiresome jerk.

Every year I protest the appraised value of my house.
I guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist since I don’t believe the kindly government has put the correct value on my house.
And liz would say I’m a nut case since i am exercising my legal right to challenge the value.
Oh liz, tell us what’s right and wrong so we can behave according to your precepts.

It's sad to see someone live and die based on such an incredible lie. What is her gain in this fraud? Did she think she'd get to be lord over the Northwest? She's under some strong delusions, if she's believing that kind of lie.

The Arizona call by Fox News led immediately to the stopping of counting in the swing states. Trump led in them all at the time and lost them all. This one isn't hard.

The questions were not particularly hard hitting but she was defensive and presented her own view. What basis does she have to say 2020 was not a crooked election. Was she in Atlanta, Phoenix, Detroit and Philadelphia when votes were being counted in closed rooms?

In case you missed the interview, let me bring you up to speed. Think about the early call of Arizona by Fox News. Remember Neil Cavuto cutting off a White House news conference when fraud was discussed. Remember Bret Baier talking later about "free and fair' elections. Now, what did you miss? After a 'tough' question of Liz Cheney, Baier slightly off camera went into a 'wink, wink,wink' mode with a smile.

I watched that interview, and what stood out to me was her effort to sell the "Big Lie" narrative. The big lie, she explained, is that the election was stolen. She says it wasn't, and to disagree with her conclusion is to lack "understanding."
She further opined that Donald Trump is at fault for the millions of Americans who believe this "lie." He has claimed it was stolen, so that's why his supporters believe it. Apparently, it has not occurred to her that a sizeable number of conservative voters watched the election returns with their own eyes, and didn't need President Trump to tell them the way the election was conducted was improper at multiple levels.
Her dismissive attitude toward people who disagree with her is something ordinary Americans experience frequently from the left. Whether the epithet is a false accusation of racism, or being part of a Trump "cult,"her disdain for people who prefer to do their own evaluating is loud and clear.

She seems to make the classic error of all ignorant people, and that is neglect or refusal to study both sides (at least the two main opposing ones) of an issue, or case (i believe she is an attorney). She eliminates any hope of objectivity ESPECIALLY in the midst of highly charged political conflicts. If she had studied the incessant attacks on candidate Trump and then President Trump, how accusations have all turned out to be lies and plots and that ACTUAL surreptitious devious schemes were REAL efforts at insurrection and indeed treason on the DEM side, her point of view might have gained some merit or at least consideration. But she and her ilk did not care... DID NOT CARE about the truth. Those on that side have engorged themselves on hatred and lies and deceptions.
And, like all those never-Trumpers who have been on the Dem/Left We-Just-Hate-Trump-So-Much bandwagon, she has put her fingers in her ears and plays the haughty fool. These are the people who fancy themselves noble patriots... of the "world."
Everything President Trump did he did for America. Good things, important things, many of which barely made their way into public consciousness because the leftwing media INTENDED to keep ignorant as much of the public as possible and to do what they could to benefit the Dem/Left --which means that the media are the propaganda arm of that Party, the Democrat Party whose "big tent" includes bigots, anti-Israel/anti-Semitic, anti-Asian, anti-White racists, anti-Christian, anti-America and all the Party's leftist fellow travelers.
And there's little Lizzie smack dab in the middle of it all.

Where was Cheney when Trump was being accused of Russian collusion, without any evidence? Where was she when a special counsel was appointed to investigate those baseless claims? Shouldn't something as important as a Presidential election be accorded at least the same amount of scrutiny?

I haven’t the slightest but of sympathy for however this rude Republican swamp critter treats FOX BEWS. They jumped right in to lecture all of us that Trump rightfully lost on Election night 2020. Its fun watching all the Never Trumpers arguing with each other.

Liz Cheney just continues to dig her own grave. Every interview where she continues to spew her anti-Trump vileness is just another shovel full of dirt on her political grave. If Cheney were truly the conservative she claims to be, she would use the energy she uses against Trump to fight the Biden /Democrat agenda. The Biden / Democrat agenda has done more damage to the USA in 4 months than anything Trump may have done or said in all of his years.

She's apparently so busy shouting her opinion she can't hear Baier plead that he's on her side.
