The left quickly turned on recently-ousted Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney (WY) after her reelection attempt failed to make it past the Republican primary last week.

For weeks, left-leaning Twitter accounts — and even media pundits and elected Democrats —championed the former Republican leader for her work on the January 6th Committee and her resistance to former President Donald Trump. Yet once she had lost her primary — to Trump-supported Harriet Hageman — and hinted at a possible 2024 presidential run, the left started to abandon her.

Larry Middleton (@l78lancer)made it clear that Cheney's attempts at the January 6th Committee were appreciated — yet that did not mean he trusted her with anything beyond that. He tweeted, "Remember folks, Liz Cheney voted with Trump 93% of the time. So, while her work on the 1/6 Committee is purportedly to save democracy, her goal is NOT to save the democrats. Don't get it twisted."

"Never ever will you catch me cheering on someone who applauded the removal of women's reproductive rights and voted with Trump 93% of the time," @_TheLadyGrey continued. "I'll hold my praise for someone worthy of it. A Republican is still a Republican. Cheney's not a f***ing hero."

USA Today opinion columnist Michael J. Stern clarified, "Liz Cheney put country over party when Trump ignited an insurrection to take over American Democracy. She gets credit for that. But, she voted with Trump 93% of the time. She celebrated the end of Roe. Quit saying you'll vote for her if she runs for president."

"I seriously can't understand lifelong 'Democrats' & 'resisters' who would vote for Liz Cheney if she ran in 2024," another continued. "She Voted against the Voting rights act, boosting voter suppression. Bragged when Roe vs Wade was overturned, voted with Trump 93% and look at this gem …"

What followed was a screenshot of a 2016 tweet from Cheney that read, "Hillary Clinton is a serial liar guilty of criminal behavior & must never again have access to classified material."

"Don't forget who Liz Cheney*actually* is. Liz Cheney has voted with Trump for 93% of her career. Donations she has received for the 2022 election cycle: Oil/Gas: $142K Pharmaceutical: $93K Women’s Issues (Pro-‘Life’): $130K Real Estate: $394K Securities/Investment: $637K,” @darafaye announced.

"If you're a self-described liberal who wants Liz Cheney to run for president, you are loudly telling on yourself about how little you actually care about reproductive rights, economic justice and climate change," David Sirota continued.
