Not a Cheney fan by any means, but she does have a valid point.
What? That Jordan will abandon the constitution?

Her point is that deposing McCarthy may backfire on Republicans and result in the election of a “bi partisan” new Speaker resulting from Republican - Democrat coalition who is far worse than Kevin McCarthy could ever be.
Under the current hand McCarthy was dealt, he has very little political room to maneuver with ultra slim majority in the House, an insane Democrat Senate and President to deal with and a significant fraction of his own Republicans in cahoots with the Democrats.
McCarthy was shooting to do what he could under near impossible circumstances and hold the status quo together in the hopes Republicans win in 2024. If by deposing McCarthy, we end up with a disaster for Speaker, the Democrats will control everything and may just run the tables on us in the 2024 election
