Fractures in GOP on full display as Cheney faces renewed criticism for bucking Trump and disagreeing with McCarthy in public
CNN
House Conference Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney is once again facing the ire of her colleagues and GOP voters, laying bare the ongoing and internal divisions within the GOP about how Republicans should move forward in the wake of former President Donald Trump.
In the last week, Cheney has opened the door to running for President in 2024 and blasted colleagues in the Senate who supported efforts to challenge the election results on January 6. Cheney also faced criticism after leaning in to greet President Joe Biden as he made his way down the aisle at his speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. Cheney defended that decision on Twitter saying "I disagree strongly w/ @JoeBiden policies, but when the President reaches out to greet me in the chamber of the US House of Representatives, I will always respond in a civil, respectful & dignified way. We're different political parties. We're not sworn enemies. We're Americans."More Related News
