Liz Cheney has slammed ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for 'elevating white supremacists and anti-Semites' as part of his leadership.
Cheney was defeated in a primary in 2022 by Harriet Hageman in a race that was heavily influenced by her criticism of Donald Trump.
The daughter of ex-Vice President Dick Cheney said McCarthy has muddled the party by following Trump's lead.
'I wish that it were surprising,' she told CNN. 'You know, what we've seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6.'
'And, you know, looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we've seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the House.'
McCarthy was eventually taken out of power and the House of Representatives has been led by a temporary speaker for weeks with an ability to find a new leader.
While she didn't name any particular GOP members as anti-Semites, she did list would-be Speaker replacement Jim Jordan - who has failed several times to garner the votes to win the job - for fermenting it.
'Looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we've seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the House, including Jim Jordan; elevating those members, frankly, some of whom are white supremacists, some of whom are antisemitic,' she said.
Cheney also told CBS News Sunday that she hadn't ruled out a potential run for president in 2024 and told CNN's Jake Tapper that it could not be Trump, regardless.

Hageman is light years ahead of Cheney and her father.
Haley must be really jealous of Cheney. Maybe Cheney could run and bring both of them down.
Liz’s job is to create a diversion for the “Progressives” so the Dems can use her ‘credibility’ to label Republicans ‘white supremacists and anti-Semites’. Show me a Republican that espoused the putrid bile the Dems have.
Absolutely no gravitas. Next!
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE 51-50 this woman??????
Soon Lizzie will come out as a man and will announce she got a $10 million a year gig at MSLSD.
The same people who who helped out her father and GWB at one point?
Perhaps Kevin Costner may change his mind, though I doubt it.
I want to hear what Liz Cheney says, just about as much as i want to hear what Nancy Pelosi says
LIZ, STFU.
She needs a 5150 hold(72 hour detention) against her will. With a psych. Eval.. Her statements are very ignorant or she is in the schizoaffective/sociopathic madhouse.
Disqualified for any good work.
Liz Chency is too stupid to understand the anti-semites in our country are democrats and the democrat base.
She could go to the FBI for court cases (not fake hate crimes but adjudicated crimes) and she’ll find terms like ‘teens’ ‘youths’ etc. It’s not us Liz - look at the numbers not democrat propaganda.
Or go to an anti=Israel rally Liz Cheney and see if you can finedeven ONE Republican. You won’t. You’re in your power position because of your daddy Liz... and that’s the only reason.
Liz who?
