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.

Interesting.....
Well this would be Jordan’s chance to finally get something done other than talk.

FORMER
Excellent 👍👍👍
😂😄😆🤣🤣🤣
Best Jordan Endorsement
Who cares what you think, Lizard-Breath?
I think she pulling a head fake. Saying the opposite of what she really feels.
So Liz hated him because he supported Trump
I guess I didn’t give McCarthy enough credit. If Liz Cheney doesn’t like him, he can’t be all bad.
Sundance makes his living bomb throwing to drive attention to his website. Gatez is the guy who drove all this in Congress. Since Gatez is actually in the fight he is 100% more credibility a source of insight then someone trying to drive clicks to his website.
President Trump is not going to be Speaker. No matter how loudly Sundance trash talks everyone else, he is not going to elect Trump
There are 22 House Republicans who represent districts Joe Biden won by very large margins. They are never going to vote to make Trump Speaker. They will, as they always do, put their political survival before party loyalty.
So while Trump as Speaker is a fun social media game that drives a lot of clicks and media attention, it is not politically realistic. The votes are not there.
It would be great if Trump became speaker; wonder what it would do to people like her.
Slip back under your rock, Lizard.
This feels like bizzzaro world.
It will be interesting. Even Newt Gingrich has been mentioned.
Nasty, bitter, nepo.
Cheney is talking at the U of M?
I’m feeling now she was never even a RINO.
Shut up Lizzy or you’ll pee your panties again.
“Don’t you have a class to teach at UVA beyotch? Can you imagine having that shrew as your instructor?”
Yeah. What is she doing in Minnesota on a school night? I guess she has no class...
Lying Lizie wants to be President so badly she can taste it.
I wonder if she winds up being the No Labels candidate.
She needs to get a job cleaning out cesspools
So, Jim Jordan is a good pick. Got it. Thanks, Liz.
Very nice:)
