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.”

The darkness in Liz Cheney has become so dark, it has reached the event horizon. Everywhere she moves sucks in everything to oblivion. She is so lost, she can’t even see the grave danger to the Republic the Communist Dems present. The Republicans need to unite: She needs an intervention quick.
Kevin McCarthy is running from a loud-mouthed, nasty woman. What a manlet.
McCarthy only strips committee assignments from Republicans the Democrats don’t like.
McCarthy could remove Cheney from all her House committees but he is sackless.
Do you know that we know that you are useless McCarthy?
McConnell needs to get this bitch under control, OR reap the consequences. She is a Democrat plant and is embarrassing Wyoming and what is left of the Republican Party.
BTT
Great article - highly entertaining and recommended:
That is why they got rid of him. The Republican Party will not tolerate anyone who stands up to the Democrats. The Republican Party is the Whipping boy for the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is owned lock, stock, and barrel head by Satan
She is unhinged...what she is supposedly concerned about with Trump and his allies.
You understate!
Is she tone deaf or stupid? Or both?!
Who’s paying you, you ugly traitorous b****?
She’s acting like she already has her re-election wrapped up.
Yes she is despicable and disgraceful. Completely unfit for office.
they need to kick Cheney out of the party. Period.
GFYS. With a little surgery, it’s doable.
“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.”Lynn, darling, how can it be an "attack" if they were invited in? Trojan horse "attack," perhaps? And if so, who actually set it up?
Well when McCarthy becomes Speaker in January 2023 Cheney will be back in Wyoming contemplating what she wants to do with her life post Congress.
She is indeed.
Show some balls, Kevin. Kick this Derp State bitch out of the GOP. Do it now.
