In Conversation with Rep. Liz Cheney

In one of the most fascinating political journeys in modern politics, Ms. Cheney, elected to the House in 2016 to represent Wyoming, went from an archetypal leader within the Republican Party to the ultimate thorn in the side of the party’s president. Her role as Vice Chair for the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol led her to national fame but also her reelection loss.
Come hear about the inflection points of her work in the House, the future of the GOP and her own career in a conversation with Katherine Baicker, Dean of the Harris School of Public Policy.

[@VirginiaFitzpatrick]

Thank Rep Cheney for recognizing Precinct organizers. Even though it is far from the top of the political ladder, I enjoyed being a precinct organizers in SE Pennsylvania and I felt rewarded by some success getting people out to vote for good candidates. However when we had a very low turn-out the Republicans and Democrats working at the poles had a serious discussion about how we could improve turnout. ... As much as I enjoyed meeting my neighbors at the poles, I felt bad for an emergency hospital male nurse that arrived 5 minutes too late to vote. I hope both parties will make both poles and mail ballots available. I have always found good candidates in both parties. So help us vote.

[@maplebones]

She's an artful dodger. Her Dad is not a particularly brilliant individual. He may have lied or he may just have been the dupe they picked to spread it. It'll come out 50 years from now. She wasn't there, probably doesn't know, and isn't responsible for the actions of her father. I don't think it was an appropriate question.

[@angelacarnevale8311]

This was a great conversation. I have seen other conversations at Harvard and Norte dame which were very good. I think this was the best. There was a big turnout for college students and I think you made the difference. You gave them something to care about and you were very effective. Thank you for your commitment to our constitution and to America. That can never be debated.

[@optimalperformanceconsulta5813]

Good balanced discussion. This is how it’s done folks. I believe as a Canuck that governments must play a role in the quality of our lives, therefore I’m at odds on policy with Rep Liz Cheney. However we must listen to people we don’t agree with so we can change our minds and move forward. Well done

[@williamparrish673]

Representative Cheney, I am a died in the wool democrat. I voted for Ronald Reagan when it was time to do so . I will do the same for you. I would love to see you in the white house. Just the look on 45s face would be worth it. But I know you can bring stability and integrity back to Washington. You have my unwavering support through the next election. I reserve the right to change my mind on your second term though lol. Run Lizzy RUN . You won't need republican support cause all the democrats will vote for you. You know what choose a democratic running mate . That will stir things up. Or better yet change your political party. I know that's just a little to much. Thanks for standing up to the insanity for us, you are proof that the truth is worth more than anything else. I am so sorry your constituents didn't support your cause. I will you have my trust to do the right thing at the right time . Best of luck in 24 at least we'll know there will be one more election when you win it . Say hey to your father for me I always respected him also . Sincerely, a freedom loving American.

[@Lbfent2]

Watch Liz gracefully dance around a simple question about Ray Epps’ suspicious involvement in the “insurrection”. They refuse to explain why so many people that did so much less than Mr. Epps were imprisoned. But the fawning audience loved her non-answer nevertheless.

[@chrismartin4856]

They should of asked why her dad "DICK CHENEY" blew up them "three" buildings with thermite ,in a controlled near perfect demolition !! The third building was talked about falling on the "BBC",1 hr. before it did !! (I guess they forgot that they were in Atlantic time ,!! Her father's co. That he was on the board of directors of ,...made "TRILLIONS" in profits from the sale of weapons,.. to go find this one man ,hiding in a cave ,that influenced these men that dropped thier passports from that burning jet,(that were "ALL" found in impeccable cond.by the way !!) ,...and that got left behind ,so the Taliban ,can start up more wars,and problems, for future weapons profits later. The smell that came from her opening her mouth ,would of made me barf !! Complete smell of bull$hit,!! The International Criminal Court wanted to charge her father ,and bush .For that reason ,this blood line deserves "NO RIGHT" to be heard .

[@rap4880]

The reason Ray Epps got a break on his sentencing is because he pled guilty. Judges always give a break to people who plead guilty rather than go to trial. You should know that Mr Epps is suing Fox News for spreading the lie that he's an FBI agent-provocateur. A former Donald Trump supporter, Epps claims the network made him a scapegoat for the U.S. Capitol insurrection. Epps, a former Marine said he was forced from his Arizona home because of threats. He is asking for unspecified damages and a jury trial.

[@UKBornin1971]

She’s already been voted out of office, unfortunately. So, no, she couldn’t serve as speaker unless she was elected again.

She was on track to become the next GOP speaker for the house before January 6th, which to me underscores the significance of what she did. It wouldn’t make a difference if someone leaves from the Biden administration, however, since only members of the house can serve as speaker.

[@willcox4561]

@@margaretsmist7140 Personally, I cannot stand Trump. However, he did nothing illegal in challenging the results. There are many legal avenue to challenge elections. However, Trump exhausted all such options and left. Hillary still challenges the 2016 results. The real threat to democracy was when Obama, Biden, the FBI director, the CIA director, Susan Rice and someone acting as head of the DOJ met in the oval office in January 2021 and decided to use totally false information, which they knew was false, to get permission from the FISA court to spy on Trump and drag the country through years and money on the Russia collusion situation. Another attack on Democracy was having the FBI and the news media hide the Hunter Biden laptop information from the public before the 2020 elections calling it Russian miss-information when it was, in fact, true and accurate information. Over 10% of the Biden voters stated in more than several polls that had they known such was true and accurate, they would have voted for Trump and Trump would have won. Even the most left wing news media like the New York Times has now attested to the laptop information's accuracy.
