Cheney Rips 'Shameful' Attacks On 'Patriotism' Of Impeachment Probe Witnesses
Cheney Rips ‘Shameful’ Attacks On ‘Patriotism’ Of Impeachment Probe Witnesses

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) called out conservatives who have been attacking Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and other witnesses in the House impeachment investigation on Tuesday morning.
After complaining about Democrats’ handling of the investigation during a House Republican leadership presser, Cheney switched tracks.
“Now I also want to say a word about something else that’s been going on over the course of the last several hours and last night which I think is also shameful,” she said. “And that is questioning the patriotism, questioning the dedication to country, of people like Mr. Vindman, Lt. Col. Vindman, who will be coming today, and others who have testified.”
The Republican lawmaker urged for Vindman’s critics to “show that we are better than that as a nation.”
“We’re talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation, who’ve put their lives on the line, and it is shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation, and we should not be involved in that process,” she continued.

And if Liz "I'm totally running for president" Chaney had just stopped about two sentences short, she might have earned a smidgen of respect. But she had to say that last bit about the Democrats not following the Constitution, didn't she.
