Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming has hit out at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's suggestion that a Republican-led House might block military aid to Ukraine, describing the idea as "disgraceful."
Cheney, the vice chair of the January 6 select committee, made the remark on Tuesday while taking questions at an event at the Harvard Institute of Politics.
The Republican congresswoman was asked by a student whether the U.S. could "credibly promote and support democracy" around the world when it's "falling apart" in this country.
In response, Cheney, one of the most vocal Donald Trump critics in the GOP, said first that the U.S. must make sure it is "doing everything necessary" to support the Ukrainian people as Kyiv battles Russia's invasion.
She went on: "I don't know that I can say I was surprised, but I think it's really disgraceful that Minority Leader McCarthy suggested that if the Republicans get the majority back that we will not continue to provide support for the Ukrainians."

war mongers gonna war monger.
This bitch needs to take her “L” and STFU.
War Whore gonna War Whore.
If you agree with Liz Cheney on this in any way shape or form you are an enemy of the constitution of the United States.
I read Liz Cheney has a lot of kids - five? Good for her. I suggest she withdraw from politics and be a very active mother/grandmother. That will do them and us a favor and use her energy for good.
Hopefully they won't become politicians.
I knew this was coming. It is not what McCarthy said but it is exactly how it is being reported. McCarthy is an idiot. This is about to become the issue now
Oh, did Kevin get a read from frank about support for the ukes? Is mrs. Zelinski staying at the London (UK someplace) mansion?
“ McCarthy is an idiot. This is about to become the issue now”
It’s a winning issue. The American people want our tax money spent on America. We have loads of problems at home.
Liz Cheney needs to have her family’s doings put under a microscope.
Nailed it. They view every conflict as an invitation to add a new and costly burden to our country. It was great having a hiatus from the insanity while Trump was president. Now the war mongers are trying to make up for lost time.
Love to see the Euro donation figgers to this Euro conflict problem.
People get really worked up when their side hustles are threatened.
That cash comes in really handy.
Welcome McCarthy, use McCarthy but never trust McCarthy.
It's obvious that sending weapons to Ukraine for military aid results in more soldiers (both Russian and Ukrainian) getting killed, and more infrastructure getting destroyed. That's not helpful to anybody.
Would it be more "aid" if, somehow, we could force the Uke's and Russkies to negotiate peace?
When you have constituents berating AOC in a town hall, there is a real problem.
Ugh, this witch won’t be gone in January - she’ll be wall-to-wall on the MSM for decades.
Sure do hear more about sending $$ and weapons and the threat of nuclear war than we hear about anyone trying to come up with a peaceful resolution. Wonder why? /s
Okay, how much is enough? McCain wanted us in Iraq for 100 years.
Already we have given in seven months an amount equivalent to one-quarter of Ukraine’s entire GDP and more than the ENTIRE U.S. budget of 1951.
Cheney-types want to issue a blank check, and Zelensky would waste no time spending it until WE are broke.
