Liz Cheney and Dana Nessel
These crazy times have created some unusual moments.
Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel and Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney are on opposite sides on most issues. Nessel regards herself as a liberal. Cheney sees herself as a classic conservative.
But after Cheney lost her primary Tuesday night by a wide margin (66 to 29 percent), she delivered a speech that Nessel says brought her to tears.
Many odd things have taken place during the course of my life I could not have predicted, but sobbing during a Liz Cheney concession speech was not one of them.

Cheney's political fall can be attributed to her outspoken role on the Jan. 6 committee. A lot of Republican Wyoming voters felt she betrayed the party by going after ex-President Donald Trump.
