MSNBC's Wallace Crew Praises Cheneys and Rove for Their 1/6 Stance
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, per the ancient adage. And thus, for their condemnations of Donald Trump and the January 6th riot, Liz and Dick Cheney and Karl Rove have become the friends of the left.

One panelist depicted Biden as an "albatross" on the…
