Cheney and Kinzinger: The latest turncoat Republicans the media suddenly loves
Fox News
The press find a new found respect for formerly despised Republicans like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who defy party lines.
However, every so often there are a few Republicans who appear to actually receive admiration from mainstream journalists, even after years of scorn. That only happens when they oppose someone the media hates or go against their own party. It’s a pattern that has become increasingly clear over the past few years. Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois are the latest examples as the media had nothing but love this week for these Republicans when they stood front and center as the only two elephants on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Democratic-led committee to investigate the Capitol riots on January 6. Cheney was once the object of constant disdain from journalists not only for her father Dick Cheney’s record but her own politics.More Related News
