Cheney slams Trump's "fascist playbook" on Colbert

I feel like Stephen Colbert could have checked her on the “rampant anti-semitism” on the left. Sure it’s happening but “rampant”? Is she confusing being against the Israeli government (you know, for steamrolling over Palestinians all in the name of routing out Hamas) with being anti-Jewish? It also was a dodge against the claim that Trump gained popularity with voters by being openly racist towards immigrants and Mexicans. Really not the same thing.

It was kind of hilarious her claim that Trump’s base felt that they weren’t being heard but Trump was some kind of champion in saying he’d speak for them. Isn’t that contradictory? Well, as much as she thought Trump was uniquely terrible, Colbert pointed out she voted with him about 90% of the time.

I enjoyed watching her rip into the instigators of an attempted insurrection during the Jan. 6 committee hearings but I can’t say I’m excited about her upcoming book.
