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.”

Weather Underground Bombs the Capitol, Pentagon, and State Department
It was nothing more than a symbolic attack on the Deep State - which is apparently so brittle it can't handle even the appearance of dissent against its rule.
Primary elections in WY are determined by plurality vote, so she wouldn't even need 50% + 1.
Failing that, she can always try the write-in option, a la Murkowski of AK.
She’s a Cupid Stunt.
OK then - how about Donald Trump?
And please give the other 99 cents to JimRob!

Say hi!
She will just move back to her real home in McLean, Virginia and run for Congress from there. They’d probably vote for her.
this woman continues to demonstrate that she is a loathsome, despicable, obsessive-compulsive mentally ill person...
........................................................
And that’s a charitable characterization of that deranged Skank! Dick must be hanging his head in shame, and if he isn’t he damned well should be!
McCarthy should fill out the paperwork to have her membership in the republican party revoked.
..............................................
If he did, some of his haters might be induced to lighten up on their daily whippings!
Oh now it’s the worst attack since 1814 huh....lmfao...
It wasnt even an attack...it was a peaceful protest...
Federal office holders cannot be recalled.
Why isn’t she a Democrat yet?
My guess is Lizzy knows she is about finished in elected politics and is angling for some kind of left wing think tank position after she gets her ample butt booted from the House.
We are a loooong way from being rid of this despicable troll.
>>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’s hardly a hearing when you’ve already drawn that type of a conclusion.
The drama queen is strong in this one.
What did Liz Cheney say about that Bernie Bro’s deadly assault on Republican legislators and how many years did she bring it up in interviews?
Until they call out President Carter, President Clinton, and Barack Obama for pardoning terrorists, they have no ground on which to stand.

Oscar Collazo (January 20, 1914 – February 21, 1994) was one of two Puerto Rican militants of the Nationalist Party who on November 1, 1950, attempted to assassinate U.S. President Harry S. Truman in Washington, DC. He had been living in New York City after growing up in Puerto Rico.
Collazo was convicted and sentenced to death, but Truman commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. In 1979 Collazo’s sentence was commuted to time served by President Jimmy Carter. He was paroled and allowed to return to Puerto Rico.
On October 30, 1950, Torresola and Collazo learned that the Jayuya Uprising in Puerto Rico, led by the nationalist leader Blanca Canales, had failed. Torresola’s sister had been wounded and his brother Elio was arrested. Believing they had to do something for their cause, Collazo and Torresola decided to assassinate President Harry S. Truman, in order to bring world attention to the need for independence in Puerto Rico.[1][3]
