Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) lost her Republican primary to challenger Harriet Hageman on Tuesday. While some within her party are rejoicing, the politician isn’t going away.
During CNN’s coverage of Cheney’s concession speech, Chris Wallace was speaking with Don Lemon and the former Fox News host stated that there’s a civil war going on within the Republican Party.
“What struck me was the reference to Lincoln, and the reference to Grant, and the comparison to the Civil War,” Wallace replied, via Mediaite.
“And I think she was very explicitly say that just as our union was in jeopardy – life or death jeopardy – back in the 1860s, that the union is in jeopardy today.”
Wallace also suggested Cheney is declaring war on former President Donald Trump’s side of the Republican Party.
“The other thing I would say, is in this civil war, she declared war on Donald Trump and Donald Trump’s Republican Party,” Wallace added.
“And she specifically called on Americans not to vote for the dozens of election deniers who have won Republican nominations for the governorship or the secretary of state roles in various states, which would have a dramatic role in 2024 in whether or not elections are certified are not.”
