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."

That does not mean I would vote for her.

(6,231 posts)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.
