GOP Rep Liz Cheney says she now regrets her anti-gay marriage stance after a spat with her lesbian sister - and claimed there will be grave consequences for the US if Donald Trump's campaign to unseat her works next year.Cheney, the representative for Wyoming, said that her ties with her family became strained when her sister Mary came out as a lesbian and she did not initially support her. She told 60 Minutes Sunday: 'I was wrong. I was wrong. I love my sister very much. I love her family very much.''It's a very personal issue, and very personal for my family.

So becsuse your selfish, selb-absorbed, aggressive lesbian sister yelled at you, you didn't say, " I love you sis, but i disagree with you..." you betrayed your ideals?
Lame.
Your sexuality is a choice, dear. Your opinion is protected, but not your actions. If your actions cause harm, they CAN be regulated. This is why a free country like ours is so fragile. Stupid unthinking citizens can ruin it.

And just like that, Liz Cheney turned into a democrat.

#3, Liz was a democrat all along. She was a true blue RINO. In fact, she had one of the biggest RINOs hold a campaign fund raiser for her......George Bush.

It is not up to us to clean up someone else's doorstep, we have enough to clean off our own. So the summary of my statement: I have enough work to clean my doorstep but please do not expect me to reframe the door. There are a lot of secular people coming into the church wanting to reframe the door, so to speak. That is where the problem lies with me.
There is a point to be made that becomes muddied. Holy matrimony is not the same word such as marriage or civil union. Those lines get blurred often. Liz Cheney is one of the people who blurs it. . .

This ham-fisted attempt to pander is hilarious for its futility but also for its narcissism. Cheney isn't stating principle or thought, she's merely issuing more self-serving blather.

Okay Liz, we all make mistakes. I made a mistake when I thought you were trustworthy conservative culture warrior.
You are just a selfish deep stater. That's the kind way to say it.

Why is important that Cheney accepts who her sister has sex with? Most siblings don't obsess over their siblings sexual relationships. Cheney sister needs to learn that there are other opinions besides hers/his/they/them. Being a lesbian does not mean you are always right. Liz Cheney would do well to remember this.

It's time for her and others like her to leave the Republican party and join the democratic party. In that way it will be much easier to vote them all out. If you think like a democrat and vote like a democrat YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT. Then become one. Let the voters decide your fate.

Liz is going to spend the next year polishing her resume for a job at CNN or MSNBC. That’s where her future lies.

I bet you that Liz and her sister have never been friends and this is just the latest point of contention between the two of them. Liz is scared to death her sister is headed to the campaign trail to spill a lot of Lizzie-babe's dirty secrets.

Another RINO hypocrite? Not surprised. She fits nicely and wears the moniker well. Soon to be an anchor on CNN when she loses her seat in Wyoming.

Cheney obviously wants to lose the election. Every time she spouts off about Trump, the election, January 6, and now apologizing for her same sex marriage stance, she just digs herself into a deeper hole and shows herself unworthy of reelection.

Liz can try to gin up the Gay votes by suddenly seeing the Light, but I'm guessing there are NOT enough Gays in WY to help her win that Election! Sorry Lizzy, you have tons of money coming in from the Democrats around the Country, but they are not your Voters. You're going to go down in 22 and Real Republicans will Good Riddance!

I well remember Maria Cuomo, wife of Mario (and mother of the infamous "boys" ) saying that Blacks would riot and there would be blood in the streets if her husband was not re-elected.

Here's the real money quote from the article: "Cheney, seeking a fourth term, said nothing less than the authority of the Constitution is at stake."
Amazing how these petty despots like Fauci and Cheney see legitimate opposition to their ideas and actions as a threat to democracy, the Constitution, or science. Their arrogance is breathtaking.

Well, there just might be 4 or 5 Brokeback Mountain voters in the state of Wyoming that Liz has just won over.
But, as for the rest of the Wyoming voters, it is MAGA country.
Bye-bye, Liz. Polish your resume

Dizzy Lizzy Cheney. They're all alike. They are against something before they are for something. Just like Obama, a pure hypocrite, who was against gay marriage before he was for gay marriage. Think about it, all of this gay and transgender bullsh** started with him. Fact is, nobody cares what a person does in their own house, but don't come out and start pushing your sick agenda on everybody else. Now Dizzy Lizzy grovels at the feet of her sister, why, she needs the votes that's why. No spine, no backbone, just a jellyfish. Typical freakin politician. Two things define them, POWER and GREED......Got it

Good stance to take "I was against it before I was for it". How democrat is that? Nothing like getting confronted by a hot headed mad lesbian nobody wants that.

She deserves the "ASH-CAN" of history to swallow her career away. She couldn't make a stand and hold to it. Good-bye to her Wishy-Washy Idealism, a trademark of her tenure in politics.

Cheney could stop a lot of political controversy in Wyoming and across the country if she would just admit that she, as a RINO, has actually been a liberal Democrat in disguise, and as such will be running for re-election as a liberal Democrat.

Sure she does. She will be putting forth many such “epiphanies” over the next few months. She has to clean up her image before she takes a big job with MSNBC as a political contributor. I could be wrong though. Perhaps it will be CNN who gets this pig into their barn.

You were also wrong to stab Trump in the back. When are you going on The View to apologize for that?

Liz has been a closet Demon-Rat for years. Clearly, she knows her days as a faux Republican are unravelling, so she is preparing to make the full switch to the "dark side" and become a Demon-Rat!!!
They can have her!!!

No one cares Liz. Your relationship to your sister doesn't matter a diddly damn to conservatives. That's your business. Jumping on the Pelosi train is what puts conservatives off and it's too late for you to change that.
