New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney “is an embarrassment” after the Republican was caught trying to get campaign cash from a former Trump aide subpoenaed by her January 6 committee.
Megan Small, a former director of campaign operations under President Donald Trump and White House press aide, posted an image on Monday of a Cheney committee mailer that she received. Small, whose maiden name is Powers, was subpoenaed in September 2021 by the House’s January 6 Select Committee.
“Hey @Liz_Cheney, is it standard operating procedure on the Jan. 6 committee to ask subpoenaed witnesses for campaign contributions?” Small wrote, first telling The Federalist she received the mailer on May 21 at her address in Florida.

Nancy Pelosi. Stefanik notably replaced Cheney as House GOP Conference Chair after the Wyoming congresswoman was voted out last May.
“Now, she has stooped so low as to ask for political donations from one of the patriots her Partisan Sham Committee is after,” Stefanik said. “It is an embarrassment that she would ask for support from the very political opponents she is trying to wrongfully punish.”
“I look forward to helping Harriet Hageman retire her in August,” the congresswoman added, mentioning the Trump-endorsed Republican primary challenger to Cheney.

Conflict of interest.

Haha! I’m pretty sure she wasn’t targeted specifically, and was just a name on mailing list, but it is still embarrassing as hell. I’d be fine with Republicans even characterizing it as an attempted shakedown, just to smear Cheney.
Small should just keep quiet and be thankful that she is not going hunting with Cheney.
I'm sure that is what it was. I've gotten two mailings from Lizard myself.
McConnell and Bush still support her.
Never give context, see how they like it.
Elise calls Liz Cheney an embarrassment, yet Liz is still part of the Republican Conference. Everything in DC is a sham.
Can you say “soliciting a bribe”? Sure, I knew you could.
Maximum awkwardness.
Dittoes to that.
