Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday tied the “dangerous” House GOP chaos to former President Donald rump’s behavior and the Republicans supporting him.“I wish that it were surprising. You know, what we’ve seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made  back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6.

And, you know, looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we’ve seen from Donald rump and his allies in the House,” Cheney said.

Her comments come amid the House GOP’s high-stakes speaker  ship battle after McCarthy was ousted more than two weeks ago. Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday became the latest to exit the race, prompting a crowded candidate field to seek the speaker ship.
