She didn't sell out like most of the current Republican Party. Before Trump, Liz Cheney represented EVERYTHING the Republican Party was about. Even after Trump, she voted with him something like 98% of the time. She said what he did on and around Jan 6 was wrong and for that, she paid the ultimate political price. To call her a RINO is just another sign of how depraved the current Republicans are.
I could not, would not, and will not ever cast a vote for Liz Cheney. But, I can and do admire her for taking a principled stand when the vast majority of her peers folded like the spineless sycophants that they are.
The MAGA cult members calling Liz Cheney a RINO just goes to prove they don't have a clue about this stuff. They don't know what Republicanism was. Now, they don't even have a platform. They just bow down to their dear leader.
