Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney welcomed Kevin McCarthy’s ouster as House speaker this week, castigating him as “unfit” for the role.
“Kevin McCarthy is absolutely unfit to be speaker,” Cheney, 57, said in remarks at the University of Minnesota Wednesday night.
When asked, Cheney said she would have joined the eight Republicans who backed ejecting McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his position had she still been in the House of Representatives.
Cheney also lauded House Democrats’ decision not to bail McCarthy out as “principled and honorable,” arguing that he eroded trust with them.
“Kevin McCarthy, at every moment over the course of the last two years, has done more to enable and collaborate with and apologize for Donald Trump,” Cheney explained.
“I think they did exactly the right thing.”

The former Wyoming congresswoman also issued a warning about Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), one of the candidates to replace McCarthy.
“If the Republicans decide that Jim Jordan should be the Speaker of the House,” she warned, “there would no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected Republicans could be counted on to defend the Constitution.”
One name Cheney did float was Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC), who she contended would be “great” to fill the job.

Just STHU and go away, Liz!
Liz ended any hope for McHenry election as speaker.
I love that she hates Jim Jordan. I have suggested his name to my representative.
Liz is poison...............
Lizard is hysterically removed from reality, facts, and context.
Best that she is not a Congress Critter.
Don’t you have a class to teach at UVA beyotch? Can you imagine having that shrew as your instructor?

She is not only irrelevant, but also delusional. With Jordan as SOTH, we would more likely return to the Constitution. Which I suspect would alienate her even further from her former party.
Why not spend your retirement hunting with dear old dad?
Outside looking in. Need I say more?
Not everyone agrees and there may be good reason...e.g lots of talk but no results.
LMAO!!
ANOTHER GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT!!
Sundance is correct. Neverthe less, a negative “endorsement” from Cheney carries some weight.
She is lying, she is ticked Rino Kevin is out bank it.
No one cares
Miss Piggy, go home.
She can go to Hell.
Matt Gatez nominated Jordan for Speaker in Jan 2023

Jordan is probably the best they can do, but Sundance is right about him as a conservative “anger eater”.
One could only hope.....
She sure tells me a lot about Dick Cheney
