Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is taking aim at Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) over her criticism of former President Donald Trump.
During an interview on âThe Megyn Kelly Show,â Hawley addressed the Wyoming Congresswomanâs claim as he said, âI donât know her personally. I think sheâs sort of spiraling if you look at the things that sheâs saying, the claims that sheâs making.â
âI think that the viewpoints that she represents, not just with regards to the former president, Megyn, but in her support for these endless wars⌠I just think sheâs out-of-step with Republican voters,â he continued.
He added, âI just think this is somebody who does not really represent Republicans.â
Hawley said that he believes Trump would win the Republican Partyâs presidential primary in 2024. The Missouri senator also said that he does not plan to launch a bid for the White House.
Listen to his comments below:
Hawley was one of several Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of the Electoral College vote. He cited concerns around unfounded claims that there was widespread fraud that tilted the results in President Joe Bidenâs favor.
In April, Cheney addressed the 2024 race as she said, âI think we have a huge number of interesting candidates, but I think that weâre going to be in a good position to be able to take the White House.â
âI do think that some of our candidates who led the charge, particularly the senators who led the unconstitutional charge, not to certify the election, you know, in my view thatâs disqualifying,â she added.
Cheney, who is one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, is now facing an effort to strip her of her leadership role in the House as her colleagues have reportedly grown frustrated with her willingness to refute claims that the election was stolen and criticize the former president.
