Former Rep. Liz Cheney blistered House Republicans Sunday for cultivating a hotbed of extremism that has led to the speakership turmoil.
“What we’ve seen is a result of the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6,” Cheney, a Republican, said of the ousted House speaker during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Cheney served in the lower chamber from 2017 until January 2023 when she was taken down in a primary by Rep. Harriet Hageman. The House of Representatives has been paralyzed and unable to move important legislation since McCarthy, a California Republican, was dethroned on Oct. 3. “Those have become part of our politics in a way that certainly they never should,” she argued. “That kind of acceptance of violence is completely inappropriate and dangerous in our politics.”REUTERS
