This is what happens to bitchy fat broads who stab honest men in the back.

WASHINGTON — Fresh off her congressional primary loss, Rep. Liz
Cheney, R-Wyo., said Wednesday that she plans to be part of a
bipartisan coalition whose goal is to ensure former President
Donald Trump never holds office again.

“I believe that Donald Trump continues to pose a very grave
threat and risk to our republic. And I think that defeating him
is going to require a broad and united front of Republicans,
Democrats and independents, and that’s what I intend to be a
part of,” she said in an exclusive interview with Savannah
Guthrie on NBC’s “TODAY” show.

She reiterated that she will be doing “whatever it takes” to
keep Trump from returning to the Oval Office in future
elections. Overnight, Cheney formed a new leadership political
action committee called “The Great Task,” an aide confirmed to
NBC. She filed with the Federal Election Commission to transfer
remaining cash from her federal campaign account to the new PAC.
At the end of July, she had more than $7 million cash on hand,
according to FEC filings.

NBC News projected Tuesday night that Cheney, former chairwoman
of the House Republican Conference and the elder daughter of
former Vice President Dick Cheney, lost her Republican primary
to Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman.

With 99% of the vote in Wednesday, Hageman led Cheney by about
37 percentage points.

Cheney told “TODAY” from her home in Jackson, Wyoming, that
defeating Hageman would have required that she “perpetuate the
big lie” that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that
Trump had won it.

Asked if she plans to run for president, she first deflected and
argued that the GOP needs to be taken in a different direction.
“We’ve now got one major political party, my party, which has
really become a cult of personality, and we’ve got to get this
party back to a place where we’re embracing the values and the
principles on which it was founded,” she said.

Pressed again about whether she’s contemplating running for
president, Cheney said, “That’s a decision that I’m going to
make in the coming months, and I’m not going to make any
announcements here this morning — but it is something that I am
thinking about.”

When asked if Democrats should retain control of Congress
because of the state of the Republican Party, Cheney suggested
that would be preferable over the possibility of election
deniers holding office.

“The election deniers right now are Republicans, and I think
that it shouldn’t matter what party you are — nobody should be
voting for those people supporting them or backing them,” she
said.

Cheney said the GOP is “in very bad shape” and “it could take
several election cycles” before it’s reformed and detached from
Trump and what she said was a cult of personality around the
former president. She also denounced the former president for
allegedly releasing the names of FBI agents involved in a search
of his Mar-a-Lago resort “when he knows that our law enforcement
is the target of violence.”

“I am absolutely going to continue this battle,” she said. “It’s
the most important thing I’ve ever been involved in, and I think
it’s certainly the most important thing, challenge, that our
nation has faced in recent history, and maybe since the Civil
War. And it’s one that we must win.”

Nobody in their right mind would have voted for Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris.

Same goes for Miss Piggy Cheney.
