McConnell dodges questions about Liz Cheney

In February, McConnell offered a public defense of Cheney after she faced similar calls for her removal

--------------------

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell dodged questions Wednesday regarding calls from top Congressional Republicans to replace Rep. Liz Cheney as House GOP conference chair amid her public feud with former President Donald Trump.

McConnell was asked to comment on whether he planned to support Cheney in a bid to keep her leadership position. Rather than responding to the question, McConnell noted that "100% of [his] focus is on stopping" the Biden administration’s policy agenda.

"I think the best way to look at what this new administration is – the president may have won the nomination, but Bernie Sanders won the argument about what the new administration should be like," McConnell said. "We’re confronted with severe challenges from a new administration and a narrow majority of Democrats in the House and a 50-50 Senate to turn America into a socialist country, and that’s 100% of my focus."

Who cares what McTurtle thinks anyway.
It’s House business not Senate business.

It’s a House matter, it’s none of his business. Scummy reporters are trying to get him to say something they can embarrass him with.

This woman is a total disgrace. And to think we all swooned over her in the 2000s. Blech!

Before he spoke up. Now he isn’t. Republican leadership is not giving any support to keeping Cheney in there. This is a big #$%^& deal.

Liz Cheney voted to impeach the President of the United States on phoney charges that was a ploy by the political opposition to legitimize a fraudulent election. This person can never be trusted in any matter of importance, does not reflect the positions and values of the huge majority of Republican voters, and definitely should not be in a position of leadership. Decisions have consequences. She nor anyone else is entitled to a political office due to gender or family connections.

They both may be, but only one is out of the closet.

True. It seems such an easy thing for him to stay out of it, say the Liz Cheney thing is a House matter, he’s in charge of the Senate GOP, etc. and let it go at that.
