‘Despicable and Disgraceful’: Cheney Slams McCarthy Over Jan. 6 Investigation, Says He Should Not Be House Speaker
Mediaite ^ | 21 July 2021 | Aidan McLaughlin

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a press conference Wednesday, calling his handling of the proposed Jan. 6 investigation “despicable and disgraceful.”

-snip-

McCarthy responded to Pelosi blocking the two members of Congress — Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IN) — by pulling all five Republicans he had nominated.

Cheney, who was nominated by Pelosi to serve on the committee, said she agreed with the move from the Democratic leader.

“January 6th was the worst attack on this Capitol since 1814. It was an attack on our Constitution,” Cheney said. She added that the two Republicans rejected by Pelosi included “one who may be a material witness to events that led to that day” and another “who disqualified himself by his comments… demonstration he’s not taking this seriously.”

The Wyoming Republican, who was one of few members of the GOP to vote for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment, also slammed McCarthy for blocking the originally proposed bipartisan commission:

We supported what would have been the very best option, which was a bipartisan, independent commission. The minority leader opposed that. He lobbied against it in the Senate and the Senate blocked it. The American people deserve to know what happened. The people who did this must be held accountable. There must be an investigation that is nonpartisan, that is sober, that is serious, that gets to facts where ever they may lead. At every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened, to block this investigation.”

“This investigation must go forward,” she continued. “The idea that anybody would be playing politics with an attack on the United States Capitol is despicable and disgraceful.”

It was a false-flag attack by ANTIFA-Occupy types trying to slime Trump’s followers. They mostly succeeded, to hear the enemedia tell it. As for Cheney, she is as fake a Republican as as those attackers were fake Trumpsters.

“January 6th was the worst attack on this Capitol since 1814”

If the Redcoats had assualt selfie takers then 1814 would have been worse.

The only people who got attacked were the demonstrators.

McCarthy MUST TAKE her Committee Assignments away immediately.
But he won’t. Because he is a Weak Coward.
Tom Delay would not put up with this kind of nonsense.

Lizard knows that her political career is over.

If she had ANY chance of winning her primary she would be keeping her traitorous mouth shut like all RINOs do.

She is auditioning for a spot on CNN or MSNBC as the "republican" voice when they have their political round-table back and forth.
