Liz Cheney may have just been rewarded with the Presidential Citizens Medal but the nation’s second highest civilian honor isn’t going to simply wash away her J6 Committee treachery.

One of those not fooled is Mollie Hemingway, and the editor-in-chief of The Federalist took a flamethrower to the disgraced former GOP congresswoman during this week’s edition of “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox Business.

Last week, outgoing President Joe Biden teased a “preemptive” pardon of the entire motley crew with his bestowing of the medals to Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the former chair of the defunct Soviet-style tribunal set up to frame and disqualify President-elect Donald J. Trump.

When asked by host Maria Bartiromo what she thought about the medals, Hemingway broke out a flamethrower.

“Well, this award to Liz Cheney really is inappropriate,” she began. “This is a woman who was hand-selected by Nancy Pelosi to run a committee that was extremely one-sided. Liz Cheney, in the course of running this committee to supposedly investigate the January 6th incident at the Capitol, she obstructed justice, she witness tampered.”

“We have lots of reason to believe she witness-tampered with Cassidy Hutchinson, getting involved in that woman’s actual legal representation. She hid evidence that exonerated Donald Trump,” Hemingway continued. “I mean, one of the big things that Liz Cheney had said was that Donald Trump had not, in fact, sought a presence at the Capitol to protect people who were protesting, and she had evidence when she conducted her interviews that the deputy chief of staff said he personally heard Donald Trump say he thought 10,000 national guard troops would be good, that he heard the chief of staff talk to the D.C. mayor with encouraging her to request those troops. But she hid that evidence, completely failed to release that evidence until — it and only came out after Republicans took control of the House.”

“This is not someone that you should be giving an award to, someone who’s witness tampering, obstructing justice, and the like,” she said.

Bartiromo then asked about the speculation that Biden would also be granting Cheney a pardon on his way out the door and whether such a gift is warranted.

“Well, I think 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 just so interesting how much Democrats — I mean the reason why she’s getting the award is helped Democrats campaign,” she answered, noting how Kamala Harris was joined by Cheney on the campaign trail in the final weeks before the election.

“The Kamala Harris campaign had Liz Cheney out on the road, that was their closing message, if you vote for Kamala Harris, you’re gonna have people like Liz Cheney handling our foreign policy,” she explained, “And polling showed that was actually a net negative with people on that campaign.”

“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 and so for that, Republicans can be thankful,” Hemingway pointed out.

“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 White House proclaimed in a statement issued before Cheney was formally presented with her medal.

“Biden gave Liz Cheney a Medal yesterday, even though she has proven to be totally corrupt. She, ‘Bennie’ Thompson, and the rest of the Unselect Committee, destroyed and deleted all evidence from their crooked investigation of January 6th. Cheney has the distinction of losing her Congressional seat by the largest margin in History! The people of Wyoming understood how bad for our Country she was, but Biden rewarded her only because she hated ‘TRUMP.’ She’s a Warmonger of low intelligence. All she wants to do is kill people in ‘Endless Wars,’ with no gain other than to defense companies,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social after Cheney was honored.
