Liz Cheney named to select committee

Speaker Pelosi, once again playing 11 dimensional chess, has named Liz Cheney to the 1/6 insurrection select committee.

I am looking forward to Cheney eating McCarthy's lunch.

The Wyoming congresswoman said she was honored to be named to the commission.

Tie the Republican party to autocracy.

Matthew Dowd is a smart cookie, he was on Nicolle yesterday and made this crucial point. We need to stop only blaming the militias and MF45 for the insurrection. We need to tie the entire Republican party, minus Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to the insurrection, to autocracy, to being anti-Constitution, anti-democracy, anti-law enforcement. He stated that the Republican party is carrying on the insurrection, it didn't end on 1/6. The Republican party is stoking The Big Lie, is passing anti-democratic election laws, is obstructing any investigation into the 1/6 insurrection.

The only way to beat back this threat against our democracy is to beat Republicans soundly in the next election and the next election and the next election. The Republican party is an autocratic anti-democratic, anti-Constitutional, anti-American party. The word bipartisan gives me chills. Only 2 Republicans should be considered on the House select committee, 2, that is it, and then televise every damn hearing.

Matthew Dowd gets it, we need to follow his example.
