Robert Reich: “Speedy ahead 49 years. This week, Baker’s position can be performed by means of Cheney. Her Republican pedigree is not any much less spectacular than Baker’s was once: She is the elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and 2nd Woman Lynne Cheney. She held a number of positions within the George W. Bush management. She is a staunch conservative. And, earlier than Area Republicans ousted her, she chaired the Area Republican Convention, the third-highest place within the Area Republican management.”
“Cheney’s duty this week can be very similar to Baker’s 49 years in the past — to be the stable voice of non-partisan not unusual sense, serving to the country view the hearings as a seek for fact quite than a “witch hunt,” as Trump has characterised them.”
