Liz Cheney: Our Politics Created a Situation Where ‘We’re Electing Idiots’

“CNN This Morning,” Tuesday, played a clip of Liz Cheney, former representative from Wyoming (R), saying that the United States “elects idiots,” while speaking at an event held in New York City Center for Culture and Arts on Monday night.

Phil Mattingly, the co-host, said: “Liz Cheney spoke yesterday night. She is so subtle. “I want you to listen to what she said.”

Cheney said: “We’ve created a situation in which we elect idiots.” So, I don’t think about it from the perspective of what I should or shouldn’t be doing. How do we elect people who are serious? “I don’t think serious people should be partisan.

Margaret Hoover, a political commentator, said: “Yeah. She’s right. In her next sentence, she probably would have asked why we elect idiots. We have a closed partisan process, particularly on the Republican Side.”

Rabbi Menken here. America has abandoned its moral center. In fact, 83% of Americans agree that we’re in a moral decline. Our nation has replaced Biblical Values with the false idol of humanism and moral relativism, but we’re not staying silent and neither should you. Will you join the Coalition for Jewish Values and support our nationwide efforts to restore the Biblical foundations of America?

She added, “If you take a look at the Republicans in the last election that voted for Donald Trump’s conviction, Lisa Murkowski for example, or even the two House Republicans who voted for impeachment and survived, they all came from states where some form of voting reform was passed, a type of electoral reform which allows the primary process to appeal to a wider group of Americans, not just a narrow ideological base of a particular party.”
