She saw it as one more way the Republican Party has lost its way.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney listens as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds its final meeting on Capitol Hill on Dec. 19, 2022. | Jacquelyn Martin/APSurveying the wreckage of last week’s Republican efforts to elect a speaker of the House, former Rep. Liz Cheney said Sunday that she was disturbed about how intimidation was part of Jim Jordan’s campaign to win that job.
Cheney said those tactics were an indication how bad things have gotten in American politics. “That kind of acceptance of violence is completely inappropriate and dangerous in our politics,” she said. “I do think,” she told host Jake Tapper, “that if we’re going to be able to get back to a place in this country where we actually have people who are advocating for the Constitution in both parties, then we’re going to need people to, you know, have some more courage than my former colleagues are showing right now and be willing to say no, I won’t accept this or stand for it.”
