Trump administration witnesses deserve no accolades

BRATTLEBORO — I have no accolades for U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, or any members of the Trump administration testifying before the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol.

It is the least they can do to atone for their roles in putting Trump in power and carrying out his bidding up to the point when even they couldn't stomach it anymore, or got called out.

In its post about Cheney's primary defeat, “Liz Cheney Was Defeated By the Extremist Movement She Helped to Empower,” Mother Jones describes how she reaped what she sowed by enabling the extremists who are attacking democracy and have taken the Republican Party off the rails.

Cheney voted with Trump 93 percent of the time. She is an elitist, anti-abortion, homophobic hawk.

I can't think a better way to help Trump to get elected again than for Cheney to run against him.
