If, on behalf of such a candidate, it takes more than 100 House Republicans to gang up against RepLizCheney, it makes them look like Lilliputians, while she looks like a morally righteous giant — a veritable Brobdingnagian, writes QuinHillyer.
In a move surely unprecedented in the history of Congress, more than 100 GOP congressmen have joined as hosts for a fundraiser against one of their own colleagues. It is rare indeed when even a single sitting member openly helps defeat an incumbent of his own party — and even then, it usually would involve some close bond of family or friendship with the colleague’s challenger or perhaps a severe ethical violation by the colleague being opposed.
Yet can anyone deny that Cheney is acting on principle rather than political expedience? She has put her entire career at risk and been made a pariah in her party, with no obvious political upside. Meanwhile, by comparison with their anti-Cheney fetish, have any of them lifted a finger to defeat other members of their caucus who truly, and repeatedly, have acted beyond all decency? Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona consistently have been associated with white supremacists. Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina consistently does highly objectionable things, some of which sound proto-racist. Cawthorn and Greene have backed Russian President Vladimir Putin.
