I think you're referring to the Lincoln Project. But I have to disagree with you about Liz Cheney. She is NO hero and her 12th hour decision that treason was too much hardly warrants her anything more than a "congratulations on doing your job!"

She's been a hard-right Republican all her life, like her father. She spent Obama's entire administration shamelessly trying stoke anger towards him, and to exploit fears that he was a "secret Muslim."

She was one of the leading people behind the phony outrage over the "Ground Zero Mosque" and spent years claiming Obama was soft of Muslim nations. She claimed he "literally declared war on the 1st and 2nd Amendment" and said that "obstruction of Obama is patriotism."

Throughout Trump's tenure, she voted to support him over 92% of the time and never raised objections over his disgusting abuses of power. She defended him against the FBI and Mueller probes, and voted to acquit him when he was impeached for extorting election interference.

But there are people who think she should be praised for finally drawing a line against violent insurrection and treason? I agree the good fight has to be maintained, but we must never forget which scumbags got us to this point in the first place.
