Rejected, but still yapping: Liz Cheney demands Fox News censor Tucker guest over Russia-Ukraine remarks

September 24, 2022 | | Print Article

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney followed up on shirking her official duties by being a no-show for a critical vote on the Democrat “police reform” agenda with a call for Fox News leadership to censor a frequent guest after he said something she didn’t approve of during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s popular show.

Remarks by retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas MacGregor that depicted the situation in Ukraine in a much different light than the official narrative that country’s heroic and inspirational President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his troops had turned the tide in the conflict and now have the Russians on the run, put a huge burr under the outgoing Wyoming congresswoman’s saddle and she took to Twitter to rail against top leadership at the conservative network.

“Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch – Why do you continually put Douglas MacGregor on @FoxNews to spread Putin’s propaganda and lies? This is absolutely not in America’s interest,” wrote  Cheney in a brazen attempt by a sitting member of the U.S. Congress to influence one of America’s top cable television news networks on what content is acceptable to broadcast.

The segment that was found to be so unacceptable to the bad actor whose political fortunes took a downward turn after she stepped up as Nancy Pelosi’s top attack dog on the January 6 committee, took place on Thursday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” with the host blasting the failed neocon foreign policy establishment – of which her father was a part of – before MacGregor delivered his own controversial remarks.

“So again, anybody who had a hand in say like the last five wars that diminished American power, killed Americans, made us poorer, hurt the United States, long term in very real ways,” Tucker said. “Anyone who participated in any of that should probably bow out of the conversation about the latest war, for the same reason why you wouldn’t say, take financial advice from someone who’d gone bankrupt or go to marriage counseling from someone who’s been divorced three times, because they’ve demonstrably failed in their area of so-called expertise…”

“Well, there are a couple of things at work. First of all, almost from the very first moment that the Russians moved into eastern Ukraine, a succession of retired generals and political hacks in Washington, in London, and elsewhere have been declaring imminent victory for Ukraine,” McGregor said. “Seven months later and the Ukrainian army is bled white. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded. Ukraine is really on the ropes and trying to create the illusion that that’s not the case.”

He added, “At the same time, Vladimir Putin has finally concluded that he can’t negotiate with Kyiv, that the real problem is, of course, Washington, and that Washington will not negotiate with him. So he’s opted for partial mobilization, bringing in additional forces, ostensibly for the purpose of ending this thing,” affixing partial blame for what could soon be WW III on the Biden regime.

Fighting words for sure, especially to warmongers like Liz Cheney.

Cheney’s call for the censorship of an unpopular opinion that flies in the face of the very principles of the First Amendment drew a strong response from Twitter users.

“If you don’t support America’s illegally launching a proxy war against Russia that has no chance of achieving anything advancing American interests you’re spreading ‘Putin’s propaganda.’ How lazy & stupid,” wrote Grabien founder Tom Elliott.

Others reacted with some taking great pleasure in rubbing the nose of the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney in the still smoldering rubble of her doomed primary campaign where she was crushed by her Trump-endorsed opponent by nearly 40 points.

Cheney’s fascistic yearning to stifle the free press was greeted with approval by her usual Twitter cheering section of the same type of liberals who called for her father’s head on a pike but who have found in their mutual hatred of Trump, a glue that bonds them together, but their love is fickle and she will soon be forgotten when she slinks out of the House of Representatives in shame come January.

Carlson has been a frequent critic of the rogue “Republican” and Cheney has previously smeared him as being “un-American” although nothing is quite so “un-American” as demanding the censoring of opposing viewpoints.
