From a Washington Post story by John Wagner headlined “Liz Cheney on what’s wrong with politics: ‘We’re electing idiots'”:

Ex-congresswoman Liz Cheney offered a blunt assessment of her former profession Monday night: “What we’ve done in our politics is create a situation where we’re electing idiots.”

Cheney, who lost her Republican primary last year to a candidate backed by former president Donald Trump, shared her view at an event that was billed as a conversation on the future of the two-party political system in the United States.
