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.
Do the people of Wyoming have to continue dealing with this woman as their Representative?
Is there not one thing the folks in the state can do?
I think there is. Publicly declare her Persona Non Grata. And while it may only be symbolic, a recall petition showing that the majority want her gone would definitely hurt the brand. If she switches teams, who cares.
That is, if the majority in Wyoming want her gone. Because I’m sure there are plenty in the state GOP and business apparatus getting paid because of her.
You ain’t lying.
I thought Bush Jr was legit. How wrong I was. As we’re so many.
Look at this!!!!! Even with the massive amount of evidence both video, eyewitness, whistleblower, hearings, and now audits, even Scalise can’t come out and say FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not about Donald J. Trump. It’s about one man one vote, a cherished principal our country is supposedly founded upon. And these jerks can’t even bring themselves to defend it. Who the hell owns them? That’s what I’d like to know. Then I’d know who our real enemy is.
I have a sincere response to Sen. Cheney: BLANK YOU, YOU TREASONOUS A##HOLE! WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
Have a good day.
Lizard biitch doesn’t think others should be entitled to their own beliefs ...
The only thing she has ever done with her life is cling desperately to her Daddy’s tattered coattails.
Sad.
Cheney needs to collect on all her deep-state kick backs and favors in the short time she has left.
So she has to spew the deep-state party line to make sure she gets paid
Has Cheney shot anyone with a shotgun lately?
Communists stole the election.
Our freedom hangs by a thread.
I used to support them both. I feel stupid now. These two swine helped bring us to where we are today with endless deep-stat wars, massive debt, government fear-mongering, and especially, the mass-surveillance state which was quickly taken over and weaponized by the Left.
Dick Cheney is right behind her, all Bush League Republicans wanted rid of Trump.
He threatened to undo their life’s work, the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
One of two things is true:
1) She no longer cares about re-election, or
2) The Deep State has promised her re-election is in the bag.
“House Minority Whip Steve Scalise”
Does he know where that term came from? Grow a spine. He won’t say the election was stolen, and he take abuse from members of his party for not saying it was fair and honest.
Middle of the roader learns that he gets accolades from NOBODY.
It’s not enough for the fascists that they prevail; they don’t relent until their enemies capitulate and affirmatively agree with them.
Dick Cheney is a globalist, neocon, Saudi-loving draft dodger who feminized and homo-ized the military. He loves everything his special little neocon daughter does.
Buddy you could be banned here once for openly criticizing them....
I was.
Over amnesty
Some of the jackals who ran around screaming for the zot of anyone who opposed their cult of personality over Bush are still here
It’s astounding how stupid some here are ....just painfully uninformed
Lazy and fat.
And scolding and bitter
Anyone could see Bush wanted the doors open for cheap labor
We opposed it and were called racists for it
Fixed it for her.
Liz Chaney is but another example of why electing women to any position of power is foolish. The list of notable female failures is lengthy: Gillibrand, Hochul, Feinstein, Boxer, Wasserman-Schultz, Sheila Jackson Lee, Mazie Hirono, Lisa Murkowski, Debbie Dingle, Susan Collins, and Hillary Clinton....I can go on and on.
It’s true, Trump humiliated Jeb. . .but more specifically true was that Jeb was a humiliation to himself. He was a Pillsbury dough boy softie easily rolled up into a fetal ball. He never belonged in the big leagues. Trump squashing him like a bug, actually, was a mission of mercy.
How can Liz Cheney say that the election was NOT stolen? Is she a Communist?
The evidence that it was stolen is immense and overwhelming across the board. If our country does not provide voter integrity now, we will not have a country.
He can be assured he won't have to hear any of her "Republican crap" on Biden's legitimacy...
Not that Fox News would ever end their internal censorship of any discussions on the 2020 election.
Bret Baier (AKA Fox News) is diverting any discussions on the 2020 election by spewing his "Jan.6 dark day in history" bile.
