Ruthless podcast says media uses Liz Cheney to push 'GOP civil war' narrative: CNN needs this to fill airwaves

The co-hosts of the conservative podcast Ruthless blasted the media for attempting to spin the Capitol Hill drama surrounding Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., in an effort to weaken the Republican Party as a whole

Holmes, who previously served as the chief of staff for Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., explained that leadership politics is "not responsive" to the national electorate but rather the elected officials sent to D.C.  "You always have to make your colleague's job easier than it would ordinarily be without you," Holmes said. "That's what it is. What are you doing to create an environment that gives your party and all of its members the ability to be together, to stick together, to have the most cohesive message, the most effective message, and ultimately be on the winning side of elections. That's your job, alright? It's really simple. And then beyond that, do you make it easier. Are they providing a heat shield for you as a member to not have to weigh in to every sh---y thing that the media comes up to or, alternatively, are they making it more difficult for you… The end of every leadership position in Republican Party and Democratic Party politics is when they make it more difficult for their members, right?"
