Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) publicly shamed some of her congressional colleagues —and potential electoral opponents—after her landslide loss in Wyoming’s primary this week, arguing their brand of election denialism will be their fatal flaw.
“If you look at somebody like Josh Hawley or somebody like Ted Cruz, both of whom know better, both of whom know exactly what the role of Congress is, in terms of our constitutional obligations with respect to presidential elections,” she told ABC’s Jonathan Karl on This Week. “And yet, both of whom took steps that fundamentally threatened the constitutional order and structure in the aftermath of the last election. So, you know, in my view, they both have made themselves unfit for future office.”
Hawley and Cruz were two examples of a broader segment of Republicans—that also included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)—who called for Cheney’s defeat in her primary. The two are also potential challengers for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, a title Cheney has said she was actively considering.
