Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) blasted House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) after he refused to say if he believed the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" from former President Trump.
Earlier on Sunday, Scalise was pressed by "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace on whether he believed the 2020 election had legitimately been won by President Biden. Scalise refused to directly answer the question, repeatedly pointing to Constitutional rules and states' laws on elections.
"Millions of Americans have been sold a fraud that the election was stolen. Republicans have a duty to tell the American people that this is not true. Perpetuating the Big Lie is an attack on the core of our constitutional republic," Cheney tweeted.

— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) October 10, 2021 Cheney's rejection of the so-called "big lie" has alienated her from much of the GOP. Last month, Cheney was named as vice chair of the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol at the beginning of this year.
She previously slammed Trump for perpetuating claims of a stolen election, saying those who embrace these claims were “poisoning our democratic system.”
"The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system," she tweeted back in May.
While appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Scalise repeatedly refused to respond to questioning on if he believed the election was stolen. When Wallace said he took his side-stepped answers as an acceptance of the "big lie," Scalise did not refute this assessment.
Scalise also refused to say whether he would vote to hold Trump advisers who resist subpoenas in contempt of Congress. Trump has reportedly told former aides to resist subpoenas from the Jan. 6 panel that Cheney sits on.
This question has become the new “Are you or have you ever been a member of the communist party?” Lame.
I cannot help wondering how Dick Cheney feels about her lies.
GFY war whore.
Cheney is a swamp creature. It is amazing how much respect I have lost for the Bush/Cheney families over the last decade or so.
As far as the 2020 election, one thing these audits have uncovered is how many BS ballots there were floating around in the system. Instead, they focus on how these ballots were counted vs. their fundamental integrity.
How many of these RINOS objected when Trump was called a traitor and a Russian agent for years? Not a peep out of them then!
I cannot help wondering how Dick Cheney feels about her lies.
Liz says
“I’m done with Sergio
He treat me like a rag doll”
She hides
The television
Says “I don’t owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me or,
Try again tomorrow”
I’m gonna kick tomorrow...
I’m gonna kick tomorrow...
It’s in the Cheney DNA to start new wars. Liz is still mad at Trump because he didn’t start any new wars.
What happened to the WMDs?
Someone should ask the Bush-Cheney Crew if they believe that Donald Trump beat Hillary fair & square in 2016
ask them that question, and then watch them squirm
Fat Liz!
Hey Liz, if you’re so confident Biden won, why not try to convince the rest of us?
Nothing would be better for the country than for its citizens to have confidence in the integrity of its elections.
I really hate Chris Wallace.
What was the purpose of the question in the first place??
Why do Conservatives keep going on his show??
Stop going on his show and all he’ll get are Leftist and he’ll lose ratings.
What a minute.?
Liz is Karen
Karen is Liz
Liz is a man
Oh god no!
Cheney’s are known for “blasting” folks.
She has a point. Until the affidavits of election fraud are formally investigated, the election was legal. I’m disappointed in Republican state legislatures for not pursuing, especially Pennsylvania. Georgia we already know that the Republicans there need to be replaced.
She should STOP trying to put words in people’s mouths.
Too.muxh evidcnee it es not legitimate
