Liz Cheney Wins the GOP’s Manhood Contest
PoliticoNor did he cite the figure who is the most vivid counterexample. Recall her rejoinder to Sen. Ted Cruz, after the Texan accused Cheney last year of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome.” Cheney mocked Cruz for groveling toward Trump even though he has in the past attacked Cruz’s own family members. “A real man would be defending his wife, and his father, and the Constitution.” Recall also a Cheney aide’s taunt of Rep. Matt Gaetz, a camera-loving Trump warrior, who traveled to Wyoming to urge voters to reject Cheney and demand her resignation: “Gaetz can leave his beauty bag at home. In Wyoming, the men don’t wear make-up.” As it happens, an instinct to sneer at the failed manhood of fellow politicians is one place where Cheney and Trump are aligned. McCarthy, who for a moment had seemed ready to break with Trump over the Jan. 6 riot, quickly fell back in line, “more or less setting out to prove right.” All this points the mind back to Hawley’s speech last fall to the National Conservativism Conference.
