GOP Lawmaker Declares Cheney Is Part of a ‘Plot’ to Prevent Republicans From Winning the Majority

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) believes Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is participating in a plot to prevent Republicans from winning a majority in the midterms by serving on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

During an appearance on Fox News on Monday night, Banks said, “The very fact that 👤Liz Cheney is a part of a well-designed plot to prevent the Republicans from winning back the majority to save this country from that radical agenda is everything you need to know about why the RNC censured 👤Liz Cheney over the weekend and were right for doing so.”

Watch the video below:

Banks’ comments come after the Republican National Committee (RNC) voted to censure Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) for their decision to participate in the investigation of the riot.

In a statement after committee members first advanced the censure resolution, Cheney said, “The leaders of the Republican Party have made themselves willing hostages to a man who admits he tried to overturn a presidential election and suggests he would pardon Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy.”
