I’ve never been a fan of anyone in the Cheney family other than Mary. In fact, they are awful people. But what Liz is doing right now takes real courage, which I respect.

He's just saying what the party is thinking. Just look at the way Mitt Romney was booed this past weekend. If anything, this just makes McCarthy more credible to Trump & the base.
Although I guess it is kind of shady that he's such a coward and tried to put it off on the caucus vs owning up to his thoughts during the actual interview.
TL1, can you name one Republican who could stand up to Trump’s Republican Party now? I cannot believe that there isn’t one good Republican left there now.
I find it terribly ironic McCarthy is more upset with her than Gaetz. This is why respectable Republicans like Condoleezza Rice will never run for public office.
Chief
Gaetz, Greene, Boebert, Massey, Goemert, Biggs, Jordan, or any other member of the Dipshit Caucus.

If rank-and-file moderate Republicans want to save this country from oblivion, it’s on them to speak up pull their party away from this madness.
TL1, yeah, he’s the one who worries me the most. He’s charismatic, measured, ostensibly less offensive, and incredibly ambitious. I doubt his commitment to anything other than himself, but that’s potentially the most dangerous aspect. I don’t know if he can whip up a crowd in the same way as Trump, but I’d bet he’ll be well able to curry favor with Trump (stroke his ego, that it) and inherit the MAGA crowd. Assuming one of the Trump kids doesn’t run.

Yeah he’s mad she “isn’t carrying out the message” like he wants:
Conversation Starter
Cheney should run as a Democrat in the next Wyoming senate election.
Visual Storyteller
She will flip to Democrat if this doesn’t work out.
She definitely would not. Her politics and voting record are pretty solidly conservative. I think that's kind of makes this whole episode so fascinating. She's in a party leadership position for a reason, but the one act of not being aligned with Trump on the election lie has them ready to expel her.
