A Morning Joe panel Tuesday morning discussed the Cheney family feud that has erupted into the public sphere in the past few days, wondering if Wyoming senatorial candidate Liz Cheney traded personal likability for political leverage by publicly opposing same-sex marriage in a way that so publicly angered her sister Mary Cheney.

“Liz’s greatest vulnerability in her Senate run is this charge of political calculation, this charge that she picked Wyoming on a map, set out there to unseat a popular conservative Republican,” former Bush communications director Nicolle Wallace said. “So I think that what happened was something political, not personal, that may have inspired this statement.”

Liz Cheney publicly stated her opposition to same-sex marriage on Fox News Sunday this weekend, earning Facebook rebukes from her sister and wife Heather Poe. The Cheney parents weighed in on Monday.
