MSNBC's Wallace Crew Praises Cheneys and Rove for Their 1/6 Stance

January 7th, 2022 9:24 AM

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, per the ancient adage.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough "jokes" that Liz Cheney might have had Republicans voting to remove her from leadership assassinated, as her father did to OBL, saying: "They just didn't have the nerve.
