GOP Rep. Liz Cheney Tells Fox News Turkey Invaded Syria Because Democrats Launched Impeachment Inquiry Against Trump


By Jason Lemon On 10/14/19 at 9:04 AM EDT

Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney claimed in an interview with Fox News on Monday morning that Democrats are to blame for Turkey's invasion of Syria because they launched an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, despite the fact that the president withdrew U.S. forces from the Middle Eastern nation to give the Turkish forces the greenlight to enter.

"I also want to say that the impeachment proceedings that are going on and what the Democrats are doing themselves to try to weaken this president is part of this," Cheney, who represents Wyoming and is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, argued.

"It was not an accident that the Turks chose this moment to roll across the border," she claimed. "And I think the Democrats have got to pay very careful attention to the damage that they're doing with the impeachment proceedings."

don't care for and I'm tired of her dirty and filthy mouth. Seems like if these people are repugs, they feel like they are the only ones that know it all and thus, can insult and ridicule everyone else. Idiots. After a while, 'insult' politics gets old, and out of date. People do care about the issues instead, and desire a 'meaty' and 'substantive' conversation on issues.

Because Liz was one of the first Nazis (FKA GOP politicians) to chastise trump for pulling the troops out of Syria. I would say this is clearest indication yet that once the House impeaches trump the Senate will not vote to convict. And friends and neighbors if the Senate does not vote to convict there either will not be an election because some national emergency will be declared "delaying" them, or vote totals will be compromised if an election even does take place.
