Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney said she believes a GOP majority in the House in 2025 would present a “threat” to the country.

“I believe very strongly in those principles and ideals that have defined the Republican Party, but the Republican Party of today has made a choice and they haven’t chosen the Constitution. And so I do think it presents a threat if the Republicans are in the majority in January 2025,” Cheney said in an interview that aired on “CBS Sunday Morning.”

Cheney, who represented Wyoming in Congress from 2017 to 2023, said current House Speaker Mike Johnson was “absolutely” a collaborator in the effort to overthrow the 2020 election and he should not be speaker in 2025.

    Well yeah. Politics is about power. It would never be a good move to let integrity get in the way of power. Think about it from her position this is likely the greatest opportunity available to her, and hermaking these moralist conservative statements may position her to the left of fascism or it may just help her cope with being one of the bad ones.

    … No one deserves representation like her.
