Juan Williams: Will GOP women stand with Cheney? – The Hill
Karma?
Anewpoliticalactioncommittee, or PAC,aimed atpreventingformer PresidentTrump fromever coming close totheOval Officeagainis being led by a woman.
AndRep. Liz Cheney(R-Wyo.)is likely to be arm-in-arm withseveralotherRepublican womenintakinga defiantstand against Trump.
BobbieKilberg, a major GOP fundraiserwho helped Cheney raise money in the past,told the Wall Street Journallast weekthe congresswomanwill have plenty of moneyto fundherfight against Trump inside the GOP.
Cheneymight get support fromElaine Chao and Betsy DeVos,two prominent Republican women.
Theyboth resignedfromTrumps cabinet to protest hisrole in inciting the mob attackof Jan. 6,2021,on the Capitol.
Anddont forget thesethreewomen,conservativeandTV-friendly,ready to follow Cheneys lead:
Carly Fiorina, thebusinesswoman andformer presidential candidate; Christine Todd Whitman, the former governor of New Jersey; and Barbara Comstock, the former Virginia congresswoman. Allarewilling to pay the political price for calling out Republicans who have fallen under Trumps spell.
Thenthere is Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler(R-Wash.)who, like Cheney, voted to impeachthe then-presidentand went on toloseher GOP primary to a Trump-backed challenger.Shehas no regrets about being punished in the primary for defying Trump.
I always told the truth, stuck to my principles, and did what I knew to be best for our country, she said after her defeat.
Anotherwomanin the fightlooks to be a political winner despite defying Trump:Sen. Lisa Murkowski(R-Alaska).
Her reelectionbidsurvived the primarieseven though she is in a red state and isone of the seven Senate Republicans to voteto convict Trumpafterhis second impeachment.
Then there are the youngerwomen.
One former Trump White House aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, caused a sensationin late Junewith her damning evidence to the HouseSelect Committeeinvestigating Jan. 6.FormerdeputypresssecretarySarah Matthews testified the following month, whileformer director of strategic communicationsAlyssa Farah Griffinhas become a high-profile Trump criticthrough herfrequent media appearances.
Six years ago, Trump trafficked in sexist rhetoric to defeata woman,Hillary Clinton. He was infamously recorded on theAccess Hollywoodtape boasting about howstardommeans you can do anythinggrab[women]by the pssy. Hesaidtough debate questioningfromjournalistMegyn Kellywas becauseshe had blood coming out of her wherever. He denigrated his former aide, Omarosa ManigaultNewman, aBlack woman, as a dog.
Oh, and lets not forget, henominatedthreeSupreme Court justiceswhovoted to end abortion rightsfor American women.
Now for the payback.
Cheney,vice-chair of theJan 6.Committee,will have a nationalspotlightto lead her brigade of women warriorsfor the rest of this Congress.
And she will have her new PAC,apparently to becalled The Great Task.The name is an allusion toPresident Lincolns Gettysburg Address.
Lincoln famously called on Americans to honor those who died in the Civil War by being dedicated to the great task remaining before usensuring the U.S. remainsa democracy.
Cheney sees herself protecting democracy in the 21stcentury.She hascontempt forthe mencowering before Trump.
In a new book, she is quoted delivering scathing criticism of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Where Kevinis like full-on public embrace [of Trump],McConnell is: Ignore and hope he goes away. And that just doesnt work,shetold Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin for their book This Will Not Pass.
Cheneyraisedmore than$13million for her failed primary bid against a Trump-backed candidate.At the end of July,she still had around$7 million left, which could yet be used in her broader fight against Trump.
Speaking to hersupporters on election night, Cheney made her future plain:We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. I have said since January6 that I will do whatever it takes toensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office.
Im a conservative RepublicanI love what our party has stood for, she said.But I love my country more.
An Economist/YouGov poll last week found women favoring Democrats by 14 pointsin the coming midterm electionswhile men leaned towardthe GOP by two points.Smart GOP strategists and conservative pundits have always understood the gender gap is their Achilles heel in elections.
Ann Coulter has always been fond ofpointingoutthat in every presidential election since 1950 except [Barry] Goldwater in 64 the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.
Republicans are trying to counter the gender gap by fielding pro-Trump MAGA firebrands who parrot the Big Lieof 2020 election fraudlikeHarrietHageman,the attorneywhodefeated Cheneyin the GOP primarylast week. There are more like her,includingArizona gubernatorial nominee Kari Lakeand Michigan gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon.
History will remember them as selling out for short-term political gain.
Ifthe Party of Lincolncanbe savedfrom becoming a cult,to quote Cheney,it will bedue tocourageous womenwilling to shoulder the burden of history.
Now is the time for all good Republican women to come to the aid of the party and their country.
Now is their time to stand with Liz.
