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.”

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.”

Yes, what you said. And she, of all people, must know how these things work with the FBI trying to instigate and the DOJ pushing the exaggerated prosecution that applies to the events of January 6th.
Which tells me she is completely dishonest, just not really dumb like most of them.
At the very least, he has the power to remover her from all committee assignments, That should be done today.
I think she already has a cushie board of director spot lined with one of daddy’s companies.
“Why is she still a Republican? Rhetorical question. She never has been. She’s a mole. Another leftwing thug pretending to be in opposition to the evil totalitarian left while actually being a card carrying member. A traitor destined for the lowest pit of hell.”
Well said.
The same could be said of a large percentage of the Republican political establishment. The voters need to do a lot better job of selecting their representatives. They have only themselves to blame.
Cheney Slams McCarthy Over Jan. 6 Investigation, Says He Should Not Be House SpeakerSadly, Trump might have to agree with her here.
Liz Cheney is a spoiled brat who grew up in privilege. I wonder if her father agrees with her at this point.
Cheney was behind Jordan being removed by Pelosi.
I wish there was a place we could bet on such an outcome. No doubt we’d be up against 1:3 odds but it might still be worth it.
Doesn’t she though? Her actions are completely loathsome
Just turn DEMOCRAT lynnie.
Someone....anyone...please put a gag in this cupid stunt’s mouth
Orly? How about 1954?

Yep, I was just thinking the same thing. She is literally parroting a CNN/Soros talking point.
It’s good for us she is driving them to our side. Keep talking dumbass.
She proves herself to be a True Republican. Like Romney, Murky, the departed Flake, and many others, this is how Republicans think and act.
I’m a Trumpist. I want no part of being a “Republican” unless Trump is in control of the party.
Ain’t nepotism wonderful.
They truly are Assistant Democrats.
She’s going down in flames and she’s taking whoever she can with her.
McCarthy worked hard to keep her there. He gets what he deserves.
