Students Turn Back On, Boo Liz Cheney During Commencement Speech

Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney had a chilly reception at her alma mater this past weekend when she gave the commencement speech for Colorado College's class of 2023.
Many students turned their backs to Cheney during her speech and others booed, while she also received some signs of support from the audience. According to the Cowboy State Daily, roughly half of the graduates turned their backs to Cheney during her speech.
"It's an honor to be here with most of you to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment," she said during her speech, which also took aim at former President Donald Trump.
"After the 2020 election, and the attack of Jan. 6, my fellow Republicans wanted me to lie," Cheney said. "They wanted me to say that the 2020 election was stolen, that the attack of Jan. 6 wasn't a big deal, and that Donald Trump wasn't dangerous."
"I had to choose between lying and losing my position in House leadership," she added.
Colorado College is a private liberal arts college in Colorado Springs and has a student body of over 2,000 students. The school's president, Leah Song Richardson, told students to "welcome different perspectives" in the leadup to Cheney's speech.
"The liberal arts education that you received here, both inside the classroom and outside, has taught you how to think," she said. "It's taught you how to think critically, to welcome different perspectives, to see and understand different viewpoints, to challenge and debate each other and the ideas with which you may disagree."
Cheney, who became well-known for her feud with Trump while serving on the Democrat-run January 6 committee, was booted from Congress after she lost a primary race to current Rep. Harriet Hagemen (R-WY), who was backed by Trump and went on to win the general election.
One student complained to the Cowboy State Daily that Cheney was too conservative. "She stood up to Trump, and that was commendable," one student said. "But that doesn't change her voting record or her stance on what I consider to be basic human rights."
During her speech, Cheney also took shots at men, saying that more women should be in politics.
"This country needs more of you [women] in office," she said. "You may have noticed that men are pretty much running things these days, and it's not going all that well. You can change that."
In the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections, Cheney campaigned for a Democratic candidate in Michigan and opposed Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

The way King Biden XVI is going, when the prosecutions of the regime finally come, it may resemble those that occured in the French Revolution. Let the tumbrels roll! The peasants with pitchforks are coming.

You are right John, there appears to be mountains of evidence to take down the Biden Crime Syndicate, but if the terminally corrupt DOJ, as the corrupted foundation of the Democratic Socialists' Two Tiered System of Justice, will not prosecute, it will take an awakening of patriots and neo patriots to win enough elections to end the patent Democratic Socialist Corruption, and other forms of Treason.

What the Soviets called the "power ministries" (and that is an appropriate analogy with Biden) are controlled by the executive branch and if they are politically weaponized to protect some and persecute others, it makes it darn near impossible to get through to the courts. An investigation by the legislative branch is about as far as one can go, and they have no power to prosecute. The cover up of Biden family corruption revealed by Hunter Biden's laptop, which the FBI has had for several years but just covers up the corruption and tries to run out the clock on the statute of limitations is a good example. That Rudy Guiliani made a copy and others have the evidence does not push the totally corrupt DOJ and FBI to do a darn thing because they are protecting the Bidens.
When the smart Coknstitutional law experts like Dershowitz and Turley say one thing and far left internet troll Little Bobbie says the opposite, it is pretty clear which ones should be believed |
|
|
The founders were smart, 3 branches of government. If you have evidence, produce it. Otherwise its just noise.
|
|

Oh! That usual far left excuse for wildly inconsistent situations - "whataboutism". What a pathetic joke.
If you are too stupid to understand the issues involved, read Dershowitz, Turley, or that lesser known federal prosecutor I linked to. |
|
|
Whataboutism wont protect you from real crimes. As we tell black people all the time, if you didn't do anything just cooperate and let the system work.
As is often the case, it's not the crime, its lying about the crime. It appears trump lied. |

He is not nearly as famous as Alan Dershowitz or Jonathan Turley, but this former federal prosecutor also lays out why from a legal standpoint, the indictment of Trump is "outrageous and shocking": www.zerohedge.com

The facts are there that Hillary kept classified documents, usually in digital form, in private locations against the law and she covered it up by using BleachBit and smashing hard drives with hammers. The facts are established but due to a politicized "justice" (or should that be "just us") system, that is covered up. As Secretary of State, she had no authority to declassify and also had no status to retain under the Presidential Records Act. Goober Joe Biden also was caught red handed with classifed documents in multiple states, even in his garage beside his corvette. That is also established fact, and as a vice president and us senator, he had no power to de-classify and no power to retain under the Presidential Records Act. The offenses of Biden and Clinton are far more egregious, but our American KGB instead targets president Trump. As Stalin's KGB chief told him "show me the man, and I will find you the crime."
Oh, and calling the opinions of some of the most prominent Constitutional lawyers in America "conspiracy theories" is a new low, even for you, Bobbie. |

Actually JS it's more like this. Both sides talk smack about the other. They say all kinds of stuff. However, if evidence exists, that's different. When your side had evidence Clinton was doing Monica, Clinton was impeached because there was evidence in the form of the dress. He beat it, but was impeached because the dress proved he was lying.
Your problem is you believe every right wing nut job conspiracy theory on Facebook and like most all conspiracy theories they go nowhere due to a lack of evidence. Trump is in trouble because he lied for a year about the files he took when he lost the election. The evidence? Among other things, a tape. Let the system work. If he did nothing wrong, he has nothing to fear. |

This is how far our country has fallen. The far left like Bobbie does not care that our justice system has been politicized, and that one side is now trying to arrest the other side. That is what happens in banana republics and third world dictatorships. The fake "special proecutor on the Biden classified documents seems to have totally disappeared. The one that looked at the Hillary Clinton classified documents did a snow job and swept it under the rug. This is a JUST-US system, not a justice system.

Big Bob: You are one veritable cliche when it comes to your Leftist issues and how you defend them in words.
