If you think the weaponization of the government against conservatives is bad now, imagine how it might be if “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg gets her wish.

In a recent airing of the show, the harpies had a conversation with former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who has leveraged her Trump Derangement Syndrome into a spot on Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.

During the conversation, Goldberg said she hopes that if Harris wins, she appoints Cheney as head of the FBI or CIA. “You could conceivably be a great AG,” Goldberg said. “And I say this because your moral core is magnificent.”

“I know you probably don't You don't want to think about it, but I just feel like I would feel a lot better with you leading the FBI, the CIA, the NBC, the M&A, everybody. That's just me. I'm just saying, should it be floated? Please think about it. Under the radar.”

We truly live in interesting times, don’t we?

Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is a neocon from way back. She is every bit the authoritarian warmonger her father was when he was in office. Yet, now, we have Democrats enthusiastically singing her praises simply because she opposes former President Donald Trump.

Cheney’s ideology goes against everything leftists claim they stand for. But since the Orange Man is so bad, they can overlook the fact that Cheney’s ilk are the same that pushed measures like the Patriot Act, which empowered the state to surveil American citizens. These are the people who seemingly salivate at the thought of sending U.S. service members to die in unnecessary wars overseas.

Yet, now that she has predicated her entire political career on opposing Trump, she receives nothing but plaudits and adoration from a fawning leftist media establishment.

But this should not be surprising. Just recently, Democrats threw a collective hissy fit when Trump criticized Cheney for being a warhawk. Instead of acknowledging that some of her views are problematic from the perspective of the supposedly antiwar left, they ran to defend her, deceptively claiming the former president called for violence against her.

However, there are still a few progressive Democrats who have held to their principles. Many have criticized the Harris campaign for embracing Cheney with open arms.

While there are many likely reasons behind this shift, far-leftists in the Democrat Party and their allies are in part blaming Harris' focus on appealing to moderate Republicans by way of touring with Liz Cheney, suggesting Harris is in effect trying to hide the more "progressive" members of her party by keeping them out of the national spotlight:

Specifically, several progressive leaders believe that the Democratic nominee has been too focused on winning over moderate Republicans in recent days at the expense of her own party’s passionate liberals. And they say that Harris’ closing message, which is increasingly centered on Republican Donald Trump and the threat he poses to U.S. democracy, ignores the economic struggles of the nation’s working class.

It is also worth speculating what could happen if Cheney was given control of the FBI or other law enforcement or intelligence agencies. If she had such a position, you can best believe she would use it to attack not only the former president, but his supporters.

The Biden-Harris administration has already used its position to attack political opponents. They have targeted pro-life activists for protesting at abortion clinics. The FBI sought to go after Catholics, calling them “extremists.” It is difficult to believe Cheney’s visceral hatred of all things pertaining to Trump would not motivate her to ramp up these efforts. In other words, it would be an unmitigated disaster.
