Conservatives slam ‘failed’ Liz Cheney after she endorses Democrat: ‘Stop calling her a Republican’

He compared Cheney to the erstwhile Confederacy’s President Jefferson Davis, saying on his radio program she has more in common with the man who led the short-lived U.S. breakaway than with his Union counterpart, President Abraham Lincoln.

“If there’s a new civil war, I would say that Liz Cheney is on the wrong side of it– More Jefferson Davis than Abraham Lincoln; just saying,” Levin said.

NewsBusters editor Tim Graham remarked that Cheney cannot truly consider herself a conservative, pointing to Slotkin’s 7& score from the American Conservative Union – the organization that hosts CPAC.

“When you do this, you’re not really conservative or Republican,” he tweeted.

National Review Online contributor Pradheep Shanker somewhat echoed that analysis, remarking, “at this point, Cheney is a Democrat. That is fine, but she should declare as one.”

Conservative podcaster Wayne DuPree quipped a “congratulations” to the Democratic Party on “their newest member.”

People who have been removed by their state GOP from party rolls, been removed from GOP leadership, are hand selected by Dem leaders to run anti-GOP operations, been utterly renounced by GOP voters and support election of Democrats are many things. “GOP” is not one of them. https://t.co/yBXeh1zbze

Slotkin’s opponent, State Sen. Tom Barrett appeared to approve of Cheney’s endorsement of his opponent.

“It’s no surprise the Cheney family is joining [Slotkin] and it exposes the permanent Washington establishment’s War-First, America-Last agenda,” Barrett tweeted.
