Representative Liz Cheney spoke Wednesday of criticism from other members of the Republican Party of the House of Representatives about her comments on the role of President Trump in the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.
“I am very confident that we will join in on the big issues that matter most in November,” Cheney of Wyoming told “Fox & Friends.”
Cheney said that while Democrats believe in “canceling culture” and want to “erase American history,” the Republican conference has differences of opinion, which is “a good thing.”
“On our side of the hall, it is healthy for us to have that kind of debate and discussion. I’m sure we’ll have more as things go, but the bottom line here is that we are unified to make sure that President Trump is re-elected in November, that Nancy Pelosi is no longer a speaker, that we win back the majority in the House. and make sure we have a majority in the Senate. “
