Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday tied the ādangerousā House GOP chaos to former President Donald Trumpās behavior and the Republicans supporting him.
āI wish that it were surprising. You know, what weāve 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 weāve seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the House,ā Cheney told CNNās Jake Tapper on āState of the Union.ā
Her comments come amid the House GOPās 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.
Exactly. Sheās just pissed that theyāve lost control over the monster theyāve created.
