Tucker suggests possible reasons for Liz Cheney to have been in New Hampshire, hours away from anywhere she has reason to be, and why she’s making a big deal about text messages that undercut whatever point she’s trying to make in the January 6th committee.
She must be gunning for president — or is that czar?
Highlights include:
“What was Liz Cheney doing in Manchester, New Hampshire? Of course there’s only one conceivable answer. Liz Cheney plans to run for president of the United States. Now, if that sounds demented, yeah, ‘cuz it is. But it’s also real.”
“Liz Cheney only cares about one thing and only ever has, and that is starting pointless wars in faraway countries. The more pointless the war, the farther away, the better it is. Droning peasants makes Liz Cheney feel powerful. It’s been the great cause of her life.”
“The January 6th committee has become the American version of a Soviet show trial.”
“Overstating it, you think? Watch it for yourself on C-Span, come to your own conclusions. We’ll tell you this, the January 6th committee has somehow awarded itself the power to seize the personal communications of its political enemies and then make them public.”
“We now live in a country where none of your private communications are safe from the eyes of power-drunk politicians like Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney can harness the awesome power of the national security state to seize your personal text messages and then read them into the congressional record, and guess what? There’s nothing you can do about it.”
“Privacy isn’t just a nice thing to have, it’s not an ancillary concern. Privacy is morally essential.”
“Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom. You can’t have liberty without privacy, and that, needless to say, is the whole point of the spectacle — to let you know that we don’t have freedom anymore and Liz Cheney is really in charge.”
“How can you trust a congressional committee that tells lies this obvious? Well, you can’t. And yet the White House has endorsed all of this. Joe Biden himself claims on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that January 6th was an outbreak of ‘white supremacy'”
“It’s very clear January 6th was essentially what it appeared to be. Thousands of ordinary American citizens, voters, people who believe in our democracy far more fervently than Liz Cheney ever has, came to Washington because they sincerely believed democracy had been thwarted.”
