‘Life advice’: Liz Cheney has some cutting words for Lindsey Graham
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has a few choice words to say about Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and his loyalty to former President Donald Trump.
Cheney, who was ultimately kicked out of the House GOP over her criticisms of the former president and vote to impeach him, gave the remarks at a forum with anti-Trump conservative commentator Charlie Sykes, both of whom were hosting an event Monday for Vice President Kamala Harris in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
“Congresswoman Cheney, you know how hard this is, though,” said Sykes. “You know how hard it is to break away from tribal loyalty, to do something you haven’t done before. So I’d like you to address that as well. Lindsey Graham was on television yesterday, saying, what are you never-Trump Republicans, what are you thinking of? How could you possibly do all of this?”

Graham is tapping into something real, Sykes said.
“There are a lot of people who are listening to us who may be disillusioned with what’s happening with the Republican Party, but they don’t — they’re afraid of paying the price. Because there is a cost to all of this. What do you say to those Americans?”
“Well, don’t listen to Lindsey Graham, for one,” said Cheney. “It’s good life advice, actually.”
Graham proclaimed in 2016 that the GOP would get “destroyed” for hitching its wagon to Trump and would “deserve it” — only to become one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters in the Senate. Even when confronted about Trump’s threats to use the military on his political opponents in a recent interview, Graham downplayed it and said Trump will take a “success tour” not a “revenge tour.”
