Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer named Rep. Liz Cheney on Tuesday in debate over Democrats' sweeping voting bill, asking GOP senators to "follow" her "example" -- but Cheney voted against the bill in the House and slammed it as "unconstitutional."
Schumer, D-N.Y., tied Republicans' opposition to the bill to former President Donald Trump's false claims that the presidential election was stolen, despite the fact Democrats have been pushing the bill, titled the "For the People Act," for years.
Schumer continued to invoke Cheney, R-Wyo., the House GOP conference chair, who has fallen out of favor with the party's rank-and-file members over her regular condemnations of Trump's false claims.
But Cheney voted against the "For the People Act" in the House of Representatives and tore into it with a statement issued in early March.
"The bill they brought to the floor today steals power from the people, violates Americans’ First Amendment Rights, and is designed to protect Democrat politicians," Cheney said. "The legislation would force hard-earned taxpayer money to fund political campaigns and enable the federal government to control all aspects of our elections."
OK Chuckie, let them follow her lead and not vote for our bill. You idiot.
