Former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney did one favor for the Republican Party when she sided with Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.

It came after the former representative was presented with a Presidential Citizens Medal by President Joe Biden when “The Federalist” Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway said that Cheney’s support for Harris was a “gift” and that she is seeking a presidential pardon before President-elect Donald Trump takes back the White House.

“The pardon is being sought by people who know what she did because she is in legal jeopardy. At the very least, she should be investigated for this. But I also think it’s so interesting how much Democrats — the reason why she’s getting the award is she helped Democrats campaign. They thought she was helpful. You might remember, the Kamala Harris campaign had Liz Cheney out on the road. That was their closing message. If you vote for Kamala Harris, you’re going to have people like Liz Cheney handling our foreign policy. And polling showed that was actually a net negative with people on that campaign,” she said to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

“So Liz Cheney, as awful as her behavior has been in these last few years, she did give Republicans this gift of taking her very unpopular, politically toxic, neocon interventionism and moving it from the Republican Party now firmly into the Democrat Party. So for that, Republicans can be thankful,” she said.

“Unbelievable. And to also note, the highest civilian award going to Hillary Clinton and George Soros, the Democrats’ biggest donor,” Bartiromo responded.

“Again, George Soros is getting this award for how he has helped Democrats where with their political activity. But did the Biden administration if at all think about this? One of Soros’ biggest things that he’s done in recent years was putting in these prosecutors who are very soft on crime, unwilling to go after people who commit crimes even as they go after people who don’t commit crimes,” Hemingway said.

“And that has commit created a horrific situation in cities like New York where people are prosecuted for protecting people on trains and then not charged for various crimes. To give an award for that shows just a lack of consideration for what it’s like to live in one of these cities with a Soros prosecutor and see crime skyrocket,” she added.
