In this case, truth or consequences is not a game show, but the results of courage vs. mind games. The Republican Party is embarking on a trip to the basement of politics in refusing a distinguished party leader, Rep. Elizabeth Cheney because she has been telling the truth about Trump’s Big Lie and refused to wrap her cloak around the most despicable president in our history.

This Republican mindset of power over truth is destroying the foundation of our democracy.
