She embraced Trump's rhetorical style, trashing the Democratic Party with a stream of invective.

If you didn't tap out in 2016, and if you aren't frickin' to the left of Romney by now, the blood is on your hands.n the first two years of Trump's presidency, Cheney supported Trump's position on 95.8% of her votes. In the last two years, Cheney supported Trump's position 92.8% of the time. That's a higher level of support than Trump received over the same time period from Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC), who Trump later selected as his Chief of Staff.
