Liz Cheney: Last News

Trump-loving, drag queen–hating Republican Kari Lake has now lost the Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, and drag performer Barbra Seville is happily trolling Lake.Richard Stevens, who does drag under the Seville name, called out Lake for hypocrisy during the campaign, noting that he had frequently performed for her, at a party in her home and elsewhere, and considered her a friend — but she had tweeted, “They kicked God out of schools and welcomed the Drag Queens. They took down our Flag and replaced it with a rainbow.” Lake also used the “groomer” slur against LGBTQ+ people.Lake, a former Phoenix TV anchor, responded by claiming at least one performance by Stevens was not a drag show and by sending a cease-and-desist letter.

Ann Coulter has broken up with Donald Trump again… again.In her latest podcast, posted to her Substack, the 60-year-old Republican troll declares the ex-president “done” and says his influence over the GOP is waning, citing his dwindling poll numbers and shrinking crowds at his rallies.“They’re like Deadheads,” Coulter calls people who still attend MAGA rallies. “They’re following him from place to place.

I want to explain why Black Pride is essential to our community’s health. As a white person, I probably have no business attempting this, but humor me. I will, as always, proceed elliptically.

Randy Rainbow comes for both sides of the aisle in his newest parody song. But in the end, the real message is for Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice: “Get your s— together” and criminally charge Donald Trump.Of course, the video kicks off much the same way all of Rainbow’s songs do; he comes for the right first. This time, instead of taking on his usual persona of an anchor for “Fake News Channel,” Rainbow fills in for Liz Cheney, presiding over the Jan.

In the least surprising news of the 2022 election cycle, Liz Cheney lost her primary yesterday.Republican (and some Democrat) voters in Wyoming overwhelmingly cast their ballots for Cheney’s Trump-backed, 2020 election denying opponent Harriet Hageman who, despite appearing to draw her makeup inspiration from Tina Burner’s makeover of Rosé on RuPaul’s Drag Race, actually hates LGBTQ people.This is what GOP voters in Wyoming chose over Liz Cheney, in case anyone was wondering how the Republican Party was going: pic.twitter.com/7cv9gkvaFP— Andrew Wortman ?????? (@AmoneyResists) August 17, 2022When it comes to LGBTQ issues, Hageman is horrific. Even more horrific than Cheney, if you can believe it.In addition to saying she’s “fed up with boys competing in girls sports” and can’t stand “woke radicals” who want to silence free speech, she’s also refused to take a stance on codifying same-sex marriage into federal law, saying it’s not an issue that voters care about.We’d argue there are lots of voters, especially LGBTQ voters, who care very deeply about it.

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, lost Tuesday’s Republican primary and will not retain her seat, leaves a mixed record on LGBTQ+ issues.Cheney, a staunch conservative and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has won the praise of many liberals for standing up to Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from him and for her service on the committee investigating the insurrection by his supporters at the U.S.

The House committee investigating January 6 would like to have a word with Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. And they’ve just indicated that they’re prepared to subpoena her, if necessary.In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union, vice committee chair Liz Cheney, who recently surprised everyone with her vote to support codifying same-sex marriage into federal law, offered a cryptic warning to Mrs.

The U.S. House of Representatives today (Thursday, July 21) passed legislation codifying the right to contraception nationwide into law as a pre-emptive move in the wake of the U.S Supreme Court’s June 24 decision over-turning Roe v. Wade.

Liz Cheney was among the 47 Republicans who voted with Democrats to codify same-sex marriage rights this week, but “The View” co-host Joy Behar is definitely skeptical of her motives. She believes Cheney only did so because someone in her family is directly impacted by the vote.Cheney’s decision to vote in favor of the bill is notable, considering her past record on the issue, which drew notoriety for being the exact opposite of her parents and her sister, Mary Cheney, who is gay.

Most Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted against the Democrats’ Respect for Marriage Act, a bill that protects current same-sex marriages and partially codifies same-sex marriage into law, but does not make the right to marry for same-sex couples the law of the land.

The Advocate for three years this month, crafting an estimated two columns per week, so there’s quite a bit of history being accumulated.I wrote through two impeachment hearings, the Mueller investigation, and covered most every detestable thing Donald Trump did during the last two years of his presidency and in his post-presidency.I’ve talked to Mary Trump a couple of times, and as a psychologist, she gave me insight into the depravity of her uncle.I also spoke to a number of gay and lesbian members of Congress about all the horrible havoc Trump was instigating. I talked with the former president of the Log Cabin Republicans, who left the party, fed up with all the rot Trump infused into the GOP.There were other credible sources who helped me along the way, with the goal of always trying to shine a light on the tyranny, bigotry, and insanity of Donald Trump.And as an aside, I made it a point never to put the word “President” in front of his name.

Donald Trump‘s pick in the race, did not seem to agree. She refused to say the 2020 election was not stolen after Cheney challenged her on the issue.Related: Did this Hollywood film change Liz Cheney’s stance on gay marriage?No surprise there, but what many observers were taken with was the general display of incompetence on the debate floor, with Cheney often appearing like the only adult on the stage.A roundup of some of the evening’s more inept displays has since gone viral:“This wasn’t SNL on a Thursday night,” tweeted The Republican Accountability Project.

21st Century President Act, now officially allows women and LGBTQ+ people to become president. The bill was passed by a voice vote.The same bill passed the House in the last Congress by a voice vote as well, the Hill reports.Tuesday's vote targeted part of the U.S. code that concerns threats to presidents, former presidents, and their "immediate family." The issue is that the code defines immediate family as “the wife of a former President during his lifetime, the widow of a former President until her death or remarriage, and minor children of a former President until they reach sixteen years of age.”The bill now strikes that wording and changes it to, “the spouse of a former President during a former President’s lifetime, the surviving spouse of a former President until the surviving 10 spouse’s death or remarriage.”The outlet notes that Hillary Clinton was the first woman presidential candidate of a major party, that Pete Buttigieg was a leading democratic candidate in the 2020 election, and that Kamala Harris became the first woman vice president with a second man.

Uh oh! Ivanka Trump has some explaining to do.Earlier this month, the House committee investigating January 6 began holding televised hearings to share the findings of its year-long investigation into Donald Trump‘s failed coup d’etat.Related: Trump so pissed at Ivanka for testifying to Jan 6 committee that he can no longer imagine dating herAmong the footage broadcast was testimony from the former first daughter in which she said she “accepted” then-Attorney General Bill Barr’s statement on December 1, 2020 that the DOJ didn’t find any evidence of fraud in the 2020 election, despite her father’s repeated claims to the contrary.“I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he was saying,” Ivanka said when she spoke virtually with the committee for nearly eight hours back in April of this year.Rep. Liz Cheney plays part of Ivanka Trump's testimony in Jan.

If you tuned into the Thursday’s January 6 committee hearing then you already know it was basically a Mike Pence masturbation fest. The ex-VP was praised by Republicans and Democrats alike for not giving in to Donald Trump‘s demands to overturn the 2020 election.“Thanks in part to Mike Pence, our democracy withstood Donald Trump’s scheme and the violence of January 6,” said Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the committee.“Vice President Pence understood his oath of office was more important than his loyalty to President Trump.

The third installment of the House select committee’s hearings on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is underway, and viewers are being presented with evidence of former President Donald Trump pressuring then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results of the 2020 election.As anyone could have predicted, Trump is less than thrilled with the national spotlight focused on his attempted coup.Hours before the hearing kicked off, Trump took to his Truth Social account to vent his frustration, railing against the news networks for failing to give him equal screen time to present his evidence of “massive Voter Fraud & Dem Security Breach!”Related: Ginni Thomas may need a “great f***ing criminal lawyer” after latest revelation“The Fake News Networks are perpetuating lies, falsehoods, and Russia, Russia, Russia type disinformation (same sick people, here we go again!) by allowing the low rated but nevertheless one sided and slanderous Unselect Committee hearings to go endlessly and aimlessly on (and on and on!),” he wrote.

Former Fox News host and Trump campaign adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle was paid a whopping $60,000 for her two-and-a-half minute speech on the Ellipse on Jan. 6, just before the crowd attacked the U.S.

Bestselling author Mary Trump has weighed in on the family drama that unfolded between her uncle, Donald Trump, and her cousin, Ivanka, last week.Speaking to MSNBC over the weekend, Mary said the ex-president essentially “accused” his daughter of “perjury” when he attacked her for her testimony in the January 6 hearing that aired last Thursday evening.In case you need a recap: The House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol played a snippet of Ivanka’s testimony in which she said under oath that she “accepted” former Attorney General Bill Barr’s determination that the 2020 presidential election wasn’t rigged, despite her dad’s claims to the contrary.Related: Turns out Jared and Ivanka are even worse than we thought, if that’s even possible“I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he was saying,” Ivanka said when she spoke virtually to the committee for nearly eight hours back in April.The ex-president responded to the clip by going on Truth Social and scolding his daughter for being a very bad girl.“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results,” he wrote.

We didn’t think it was possible for Rudy Giuliani to seem like any more of a disgrace, but here we are.With the second round of public hearings investigating the January 6 riot at the US Capitol underway, the committee is presenting evidence that former president Donald Trump knew he’d lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, and was at the center of a conspiracy to overturn the results.Cheney painted an upsetting picture of Trump’s decision making process, explaining how an “apparently inebriated” Giuliani enabled the big lie:“You will hear firsthand testimony that the president’s campaign advisers urged him to await the counting of votes and not to declare victory on election night.“The president understood, even before the election, that many more Biden voters had voted by mail, because President Trump ignored the advice of his campaign experts and told his supporters only to vote in person.Rep. Liz Cheney says former President Trump followed advice from "an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani" to claim victory in 2020 presidential election.

The House January 6 committee held its first prime-time hearing yesterday evening to share the findings of its year-long investigation.The broadcast included shocking, previously unseen footage of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, as well as clips from closed-door depositions of members of Donald Trump‘s inner circle.Among the videos was footage of former first daughter Ivanka Trump testifying that she “accepted” then-Attorney General Bill Barr’s statement that the DOJ didn’t find any evidence of fraud in the 2020 election, despite Trump’s repeated claims to the contrary.“I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he was saying,” Ivanka said under filter oath when she spoke virtually with the committee for nearly eight hours back in April.Rep.

U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) is being criticized after falsely identifying the Uvalde, Texas shooter who massacred 19 children and two adults at an elementary school as being a “leftist,” undocumented, and LGBTQ.

New York Times published a leaked recording of a call between the pair.The conference call took place on January 10, 2021, days after the Capitol Insurrection. McCarthy airs his frustrations with some in the GOP, saying people like Gaetz were “putting people in jeopardy … And he doesn’t need to be doing this. We saw what people would do in the Capitol, you know, and these people came prepared with rope, with everything else.”“These members calling out other members, that stuff’s got to stop.

The course of U.S. history would've changed had the recorder of this conversation released it a year ago. (Image via video still)

Ivanka Trump testified before January 6 committee last week and it sure sounds like she flipped on her father.The former first daughter spoke to the panel for eight hours last Tuesday. Afterward, Committee chair Rep.

More bad news for the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.Last week, text messages obtained by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward and CBS News correspondent Robert Costa showed Ginni Thomas repeatedly pestered ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about overturning Biden’s victory in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election.Related: Ginni Thomas is so screwed and she has her own psychotic text messages to blameNow, it’s looking increasingly likely that she is going to be called to testify before the January 6 committee. CNN reports:Following the revelation of Virginia “Ginni” Thomas’ text messages with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, most members of the House select committee investigating January 6 — including chair Bennie Thompson and vice chair Liz Cheney — believe the panel should interview her, multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CNN.Yesterday, Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republican members on the committee, vowed to “get to the bottom” of what happened in the lead up to the insurrection.“The question for the committee in this or any exchange is ‘was there a conspiracy, or how close did we get to overturning the election?'” he told CBS’s Face the Nation.

Rep. Jim Jordan took to Twitter Monday to urge people to remember the past, prompting scores of replies about things he likely hopes they forget.Weighing in on the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, the homophobic lawmaker tweeted: “Don’t forget what Democrats did to Brett Kavanaugh.”Kavanaugh faced questions in 2018 about accusations of sexual assault from his high school and college years, which he heatedly denied.

For someone who purportedly had absolutely nothing to do with last year’s insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, Ginni Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, sure seems to find herself at the center of a lot of news reports about the attack.The far-right conservative activist and noted homophobe made headlines last year when she took to Facebook on the morning of January 6, 2021 to voice her support for “MAGA people” rallying in D.C then later edited the post to say she wasn’t referring to the domestic terrorists who stormed the building, trashed the halls, and shit all over the floors.A month later, she made headlines again when a pathetic, possibly drunk email she sent to all of her husband’s clerks leaked to the press.

The Christmas spirit may not shine brightly at Mar-a-Lago this week, as Donald Trump‘s potential legal issues continue to heat up. Former Solicitor General Neal Katyal wages the former president is “freaking out” — and for good reason.Last week, vice-char of the House Select Committee investigating Jan.

Mary Trump is among those to weigh in on the latest findings by the Jan. 6 commission.

Liz Cheney, a once fierce defender of “traditional marriage,” despite having a married, lesbian sister, came out in favor of same-sex marriage in September of this year. Filmmaker Adam McKay likes to think his 2018 movie, Vice, “had something to do with that.”Cheney famously broke with her family on this issue during her failed run for Senate in 2013, during which she opposed marriage equality.

latest public opinion polls, Republicans are more likely than not to be in favor of same-sex marriages. What was surprising in Cheney’s comments during her 60 Minutes interview with Leslie Stahl last week was her departure from a sentiment now prevalent within the GOP regarding non-discrimination policies and her use of violence against trans women as an example.Immediately following her mea culpa on marriage, Cheney said, “This is an issue that we have to recognize you know, as human beings that we need to work against discrimination of all kinds in our country, in our state.

After long-time anti-LGBTQ and anti-Islam activist-turned-Republican U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney announced this past weekend she now supports same-sex marriage, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Republican of California, was asked if he does as well.

Cheney had previously opposed same-sex marriage in 2013, a contrasting view to her father and former Vice President Dick Cheney, who expressed his support for it.

60 Minutes on Sunday, Liz Cheney admitted she had been wrong. Watch below from the 9-minute mark.“I was wrong,” she said.

Representative Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, said in an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Sunday night that she was “wrong” to oppose same-sex marriage, reversing a longstanding position. “I was wrong,” Ms.

Though the Supreme Court settled this debate half a decade ago, Liz Cheney, a once fierce defender of “traditional marriage,” despite having a married lesbian sister, says same-sex couples deserve the same freedoms as everyone else.Speaking to 60 Minutes yesterday, Cheney said her past opposition to gay marriage was “wrong.”“I was wrong,” she conceded. “It’s a very personal issue, and very personal for my family.

Yes, you were wrong. (Image via video still)

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) admitted she was wrong when, in 2013, she very publicly came out against same-sex marriage despite her sister being a lesbian who is married to a woman and raising two children together. But some in the LGBTQ community, along with activists and allies, are still skeptical, pointing to her record on related issues.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is reportedly very, very, very worried about the direction the Republican Party is going. And just like that, irony died.Speaking at an event hosted by Aspen Institute, the ex-VP’s daughter, Rep.
