President Joe Biden honored disgraced, sellout former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney with the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday and while those in attendance in the East Room gave Cheney a standing ovation, outrage erupted in the real world.

In a statement, the White House lauded her “two decades in public service,” including as the vice chair of the disgraced Jan. 6th committee.

“Liz Cheney has raised her voice—and reached across the aisle—to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency. Her integrity and intrepidness remind us all what is possible if we work together,” the statement continued.

Journalist Nick Sortor later noted in a tweet that the Presidential Citizens Medal “is SUPPOSED to be for those who perform ‘exemplary deeds for their country or citizens,” not for those “who tried to do [Biden’s] political dirty work.”

He also wondered whether “she’ll get a pardon next” for the chicanery, including witness tampering, that she pulled while running the Jan. 6th committee.

According to a report released last month by House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight Chair Rep. Barry Loudermilk, there’s evidence she “tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.”

Cheney even successfully encouraged Hutchinson to hire committee-friendly attorneys instead of keeping her original representation. Later, less than two weeks after she hired new attorneys, she sat for a committee interview “under unusual circumstances,” according to the report.

“Prior to this interview, nearly every interview the Select Committee conducted included approximately a dozen people – including committee staff members, committee counsel, often a Member of the Select Committee, the interviewee, and the interviewee’s legal representation,” the report reads. “Most of the interviews were done in large conference rooms or over Zoom, allowing space for all participants.”

“Hutchinson’s fourth transcribed interview, however, was vastly different. It consisted of only four people: Representative Cheney, one attorney from the Select Committee, Hutchinson, and Hutchinson’s new counsel. Additionally, instead of the Select Committee conducting the interview in a conference room or virtually, Representative Cheney used her private hideaway inside of the United States Capitol Building,” the report continues.

A previous report released by Loudermilk last March also found that Cheney and committee Chair Bennie Thompson “deleted records and hid evidence” ahead of Republicans retaking the House after the 2022 midterms.

“Reps. Thompson and Cheney failed to turn over video recordings of witness interviews and depositions despite using these recordings in their high-profile, primetime hearings,” the report reads.

“The Subcommittee recovered over one hundred deleted or password-protected files, including some files that were deleted days before Republicans took the majority. They also hid multiple transcribed interviews of witnesses who had firsthand knowledge of Trump‘s actions on January 6,” it continues.

Responding to Cheney being rewarded by Biden, Republican Sen. Josh Barrasso said in a statement to Politico that it was obvious the president “was either going to pardon Liz Cheney or give her an award.”

“She doesn’t deserve either,” he added. “She represents partisanship and divisiveness — not Wyoming.”

Many, many, many agree.

All this comes amid fear from the left that FBI Director nominee Kash Patel will, if confirmed, come after Cheney and other Jan. 6th committee members for the blatant crimes that they’ve committed.
