Liz Cheney loves Nancy Pelosi.
During an interview on Tuesday, the soon-to-be-gone Wyoming congresswoman praised the Speaker of the House as a tremendous leader of historic consequence. Okay —tone it down, Liz. Way down.
“I want to say a word about Speaker Pelosi. Everyone knows she is a liberal from San Francisco [and] I am a conservative from Wyoming, there are many, many issues, maybe most issues, on which we disagree. But I think that she is a tremendous leader,” Cheney said at the City Club in Cleveland with PBS’s Judy Woodruff.
“I’ve watched her up close. She is a leader of historic consequence,” the Republican added.
Cheney said Pelosi first created the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to show “her commitment to the truth.”
“I think the demonization that goes on both sides — certainly Republicans have, through the years, demonized Speaker Pelosi and Democrats have demonized Republicans including my dad [former Vice President Dick Cheney] — all has to stop,” she continued.
“Violence has become part of our political discourse,” she added while mentioning the recent attack on Pelosi’s husband Paul, describing political violence as “a road we just cannot go down.”
From Fox News:
During the interview, Cheney was asked about the idea of her fellow Republicans taking majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate — which would allow them to control the respective chambers’ legislative agendas.
“If Republicans do take control of the House, is that among other things a validation of Donald Trump?” asked Woodruff.
The lawmaker said the upcoming election was a “fundamental fight for the soul of our country and not just the soul of the Republican Party.”
