Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday tied the “dangerous” House GOP chaos to former President Donald Trump’s behavior and the Republicans supporting him.
“I wish that it were surprising. You know, what we’ve seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6. And, you know, looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we’ve seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the House,” Cheney told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Her comments come amid the House GOP’s high-stakes speakership battle after McCarthy was ousted more than two weeks ago. Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday became the latest to exit the race, prompting a crowded candidate field to seek the speakership.
Liz Cheney is right here.
They hated Liz Cheney because she told them the truth.
Doing one thing at the tail end of a public career of fuckery does not a good person make.
I’m sick of people white washing her because she sucked slightly less than the rest of the GOP on this one issue.
Like her father before her, she is dangerous and awful.
I think there’s a path to redemption for most people. She’s young enough, there’s still time
