From Townhall:  Lie #9  She will emerge from this setback with a powerful megaphone.   Wishful thinking can have a narcotic effect. By what definition does this broad thumbs-down from colleagues get painted as a vindication that adds to her political capital? She has the same admirers on the left as she had yesterday, and precisely the same treehouse of Trump-hating Republicans. She is not slinking away in shame, but it is a vast leap to suggest that this chapter somehow earns her waves of new converts.

Lie #1  Liz Cheney was ejected “for telling the truth.”

This attempt to convey the honor of ideological martyrdom is a favorite of Trump-haters across party lines. If her only point was to distance from the definitive assertion of election theft, that would not have been so alienating. Plenty of Republicans harbor doubt about the validity of the election tally without going full Sidney Powell. But Liz Cheney’s position, which she shows no indication of shelving, is that all election misgivings are wholly discreditable and that Trump’s voicing of them caused the January 6 riots. The first is a slap to tens of millions of voters, the second an outright slander.
