Liz Cheney thinks January 6 should be 'disqualifying' for some GOPers
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney has made no secret of her opinion that the riot at the US Capitol on January 6 was incited by then-President Donald Trump -- and that for her party to maintain any sort of credibility with voters it must acknowledge that fact -- and try to move on from Trump with all due haste.
On Monday, at a Republican retreat in Orlando, Florida, Cheney took that criticism a step further as she discussed the 2024 Republican field.
"I think we have a huge number of interesting candidates, but I think that we're going to be in a good position to be able to take the White House," she told the New York Post. "I do think that some of our candidates who led the charge, particularly the senators who led the unconstitutional charge, not to certify the election, you know, in my view, that's disqualifying."
She added: "I think that adherence to the Constitution, adherence to your oath has got to be at the top of the list. So, I think, you know that certainly will be a factor that I'm looking at and I think a number of voters will be looking at as they decide about '24."

Yet most of the GOP loves them some Trump rump to kiss on.

(2,636 posts)That Hawley, Cruz, and the other active seditionists, every one who voted to stop the peaceful transition is allowed to speak on the floor is mind blowing. Imagine for a nanosecond ANY democrat if the positions were reversed.
Of course, democrats aren't big on violent overthrow.

I think the worst is yet to come.

She is much more likely to be thrown out of the Republican party then the full-throated insurrection caucus in the Republican Party.
