GOP Rep. Andy Barr says Liz Cheney's recent primary loss to her Trump-backed opponent illustrates a 'massive disconnect' between the priorities of politicians and what Americans want.”
Barr threw doubt on the effectiveness of the strategy, saying Cheney's loss illustrated Americans' ambivalence about the subject.
The outcomes in many state primaries so far have shown that "these seats do not belong to politicians in Washington. These seats belong to the American people," Barr said. "There is a massive, massive disconnect between the priorities of politicians in Washington and the concerns of the American people," he added.
On visits to various parts of Kentucky, Barr said that "not once have any of my constituents — Republican or Democrat — talked about the 2020 election, January 6th, the committee in Washington or any of these issues.""Politicians that obsess about the past are not in touch with the American people," Barr said, but evaded directly answering a question as to whether the same would be said of Republicans campaigning on Trump's false election claims.
