NYT’s Mara Gay: January 6 Committee ‘One of the Best Things to Happen to American Democracy’
EXCERPT:
GAY: “I do. She’s forging a third way and a really important one, and I think that’s important, but it’s also just — it’s ironic, right? Because you never would have expected this from somebody with the name Cheney. But at the end of the day, she kind of lent the Republican talent for storytelling to the January 6th committee and that was an extraordinary turn of events, it’s one of the best things to happen to American democracy in our short memory here, in the past few years. It’s been a dark few years. And I think she does have clearly national ambitions. The real challenge for her is going to be who is her voter base. It’s not going to be Democrats who disagree with her on every policy item under the sun, and it’s not going to be the Republican primary voters. So, she may have a while to wait.”
