Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) hailed pop music superstar Taylor Swift amid criticism she is facing from conservatives Wednesday.

“Taylor Swift is a national treasure,” Cheney wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The conservative side of social media has been flooded with conspiracy theories about the singer, and the speculation that the NFL is fixing games so that Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, can go to the Super Bowl and win it, and endorse President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign while at the championship football game.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote on X Monday.

      If my father was international war criminal and destroyer of democracy Dick Cheney…

      I’d be pretty happy to fade into obscurity

        Imagine how his other daughter feels who is a lesbian. Poor woman.

        She seems to be staying in politics instead of moving to punditry or lobbying. I’m guessing she’s setting her self up to be a party leader assuming Trumpism fades. More than 40% of the country likes that her dad is a war criminal that shoots old men in the face and she thinks she can get their vote in 2028.
