Elliott recounted how Cheney, once a mainstay of conventional Republican politics, had rebelled against the party’s new direction as it moved against its leader, Donald Trump. “Her performance endeared her to liberals who not so long ago thought the Cheney clan were some of the worst people in America,” he said.
