Elizabeth Lynne “Liz” Cheney (born July 28, 1966)[1] is the neoconservative daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney. On May 12, 2021, Liz Cheney was disgraced by the revocation of her leadership position within the GOP, due to her persistent unjustified ranting against Donald Trump and his supporters. She opposed standing up against election fraud on Jan. 6, 2021, and espoused Leftist talking points about the peaceful protests on that day. Since 2017 she has pretended to represent Wyoming in Congress, despite not really living there. Cheney previously worked as an American political tactician and a news broadcaster, filling in for Bill O'Reilly on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor among other broadcast roles. Cheney is an heir to a fortune garnered by her father Dick Cheney in $45 million paid to him by the globalist defense contractor Halliburton, as he advanced the neocon agenda prior to becoming Vice President.[2]

Married to an attorney who is a partner at a wealthy liberal D.C. law firm, Cheney has served in the State Department as a senior Middle East advisor. A neoconservative and RINO, Cheney has attacked and opposed President Trump and many prominent conservatives using lamestream media agitprop to appease the D.C. establishment. After her election to Congress, she served as the chair of the House Republican Conference, but many prominent House Republicans and Wyoming constituents called on her to resign after her disgraceful siding with Dems in their unjustified second impeachment of President Trump. She even "quietly orchestrated a Washington Post op-ed by 10 living former defense secretaries cautioning that then-President Trump might attempt to politicize the military."[3] As a result, she was removed from her leadership post by House Republicans in May 2021.[4]

United States House of Representatives

2016 election

On February 1, 2016, Cheney announced her candidacy for the Wyoming at-large open seat vacated by Rep. Cynthia Lummis in the House of Representatives as a Republican. She won the primary and later general election held on November 8, 2016.[5]

Opposition to Trump and conservatives

Following remarks by adamant conservative Steve King that were completely misconstrued by liberals and the MSM to falsely portray him as "racist",[6] Cheney joined the establishment smears against him and called for his resignation.[7][8] King quickly pushed back at Cheney's slanderous claims.[9]

Cheney again attacked Rep. King in mid-August 2019 after he bluntly argued against only allowing abortions for children who were conceived out of rape,[10] calling on him to resign. This was concurrent with other attacks against the representative, all of which misconstrued his obvious point and instead tried to portray him as a misogynist.[11]

After libertarian Republican representative Thomas Massie forced a vote on a pork-filled coronavirus relief bill,[12] angering many, Cheney donated to his primary opponent Todd McMurtry.[13] Cheney later embarrassingly demanded McMurtry return campaign contributions after racist tweets of his surfaced.[14] Massie, after handily winning his primary, called out Cheney for the failed attempt to oust him.[15]

Cheney defended and praised entrenched fraud Anthony Fauci after he was rebuked by Sen. Rand Paul.[16][17]

At a House GOP conference held on July 21, 2020, Cheney faced massive criticism from the more conservative, pro-Trump House Freedom Caucus, whose members called her out on mere lip service to Trump and conservative causes.[18] In the closed-door meeting, she sparred with several anti-establishment movement conservatives including Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and Chip Roy; Gaetz later called for Cheney to resign from her position. Roy reportedly had called out the Wyoming representative for being highly supportive of Fauci, and others criticized her for backing fiscal conservative Thomas Massie's primary challenger. President Trump soon called out Cheney, tweeting that she "is only upset because I have been actively getting our great and beautiful Country out of the ridiculous and costly Endless Wars."[19]

A neoconservative and hawkish backer of perpetual war, Cheney worked with liberal anti-Trump Democrats in early July 2020 to undermine President Trump's plans to withdraw troops from the Middle East.[20]

Following heavy election fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Cheney in late November 2020 called for Trump to concede.[21] She later sent a memo to other House Republicans in opposition to objecting to the Biden electors.[22] After a largely peaceful protest organized by Trump supporters in the U.S. Capitol where a small mob likely comprised partly of Antifa infiltrators and paid protesters violently broke into the Capitol building, Cheney absurdly blamed Trump for the breaking and entering, saying: "There’s no question the president formed the mob, the president incited the mob, the president addressed the mob. He lit the flame."[23]

Based upon Cheney's unreasonable support of Trump's second impeachment, more than 115 members of the U.S. House favor removing Cheney as chair of the House GOP Conference, over half of the conference no longer supports her. These Republican members want to express no confidence in Cheney’s leadership.[24][25] Andy Biggs and Matt Rosendale are promoting a petition to hold a special conference meeting so that a debate and a vote be held on a resolution calling on Cheney to resign. Cheney survived the 2021 closed-door vote reportedly by a 145–61 tally.[26]

Based upon her unreasonable support of Trump's second impeachment, Wyoming state Senator Anthony Bouchard has announced a primary challenge to Cheney in 2022.[27] The Wyoming Republican Party voted on February 6, 2021, to censure Cheney for voting to impeach Trump. The vote was overwhelming, only eight members out of 74 members of the state party's central committee opposed the censure.[28] Over the next several months, other members of the House GOP leadership began distancing themselves from her, and on May 12, the caucus voted to remove her as chair. Afterwards, Cheney remained defiant, claiming, without evidence, that Trump lacked "dedication to the Constitution," and vowing she would do everything in her power to prevent him from winning a third election as President.[29]

Family

Cheney is married to Phillip Perry. Perry is a Partner at Latham & Watkins, a law firm with offices in Shanghai and Beijing. Latham & Watkins describes itself as “advising” the technology firm Tencent on its investment in an American company. Tencent has been described by the State Department’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation as a “tool of the Chinese government,” noting the company has “no meaningful ability to tell the Chinese Communist Party ‘no’ if officials decide to ask for their assistance.” It provides “a foundation of technology-facilitated surveillance and social control” as part of the CCP’s broader crusade “to shape the world consistent with its authoritarian model,” the State Department report adds. Amnesty International rated Tencent’s data encryption capabilities zero out of 100, noting it hadn’t “stated publicly that they will not grant government requests to backdoor.”

On January 31, 2021, Latham & Watkins boasted that it successfully “persuaded” the U.S. government to lift Trump-era sanctions on state-owned China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited (COSCO). COSCO is a controversial, Shanghai-based logistics company labeled as a “thinly veiled arm of the Chinese military” by a task force of the U.S. House of Representatives. Eleven of its 13 executives boast of high-level CCP affiliations on COSCO’s website. Latham & Watkins also employs as one of Perry's fellow Partners, Hui Xu, whose bio describes him as previously working for China’s Ministry of Commerce where he handled trade remedy, intellectual property, and World Trade Organization matters. The firm also tracks legislative developments in the CCP, often praising the regime’s “vigorous” environmental laws, even noting “President Xi’s announcement signals a renewed effort to improve the fragmented political infrastructure of environmental governance in China.” Latham & Watkins has also praised China’s Five-Year Plans for its “increased focus on climate change and a more open trade environment.”[30]
