Liz Cheney defends Pelosi booting Banks & Jordan from the 1/6 committee:

"She rejected 2. One who may be a material witness to events that lead to that day... the other who disqualified himself by his comments over the last 24 hours demonstrating he's not taking this seriously"

Liz Cheney says she doesn't think Kevin McCarthy should be House Speaker.

"I think that any person who would be third in line to the presidency must demonstrate a commitment to the Constitution and a commitment to the rule of law and Minority Leader McCarthy has not done that."

Have no use for her Father but she has guts enough to speak out when they are wrong. Lisa Murkowski is the same way. Nice to see a couple of Republicans who believe in the Law.

That does not mean I would vote for her.

McCarthy is not third in line. That would be the President Pro-tempore of the Senate, after #2 who is the Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi). He is the House Minority Leader and not in the line of succession.

Other than that, I don't think he should have anything to do with the government.

I believe that is what she was referring to and why she doesn’t want him to become Speaker of the House.

At least now we know that Liz Cheney is a patriot, even if I severely disagree with a lot of what she stands for.

He was probably chosen "leader" because he's from that huge state with a gazillion voters the GQP would like to attract rather than for any ability they thought he might have.
