Liz Cheney Meets ‘Off-the-Record’ with Fox News Board Member Paul Ryan Amid Reports of GOP Leadership RemovalWendell Husebo 4 May 2021
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) met “off-the-record” Monday with Fox News board member Paul Ryan amid reports of impending removal from Republican House leadership.
“We can’t embrace the notion the election is stolen. It’s a poison in the bloodstream of our democracy,” Cheney said to the Fox News board member “behind closed doors at a conference in Sea Island, Georgia,” according to CNN.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter interviewing with Ryan “suggests the former Wisconsin Republican is also seeking a role in trying to shape the party’s future. Ryan’s longtime political aide, Kevin Seifert, has been working for Cheney’s political team since earlier this year,” CNN asserted.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported Tuesday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has “concerns” about Cheney’s ability to maintain her conference chair.
“I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out her job as conference chair, to carry out the message,” McCarthy said. “We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority. Remember, majorities are not given. They are earned.”
The recent report comes as Breitbart News reported Monday an ally of McCarthy promised Cheney would be ousted from her leadership position by the end of the month.
“There is no way that Liz will be conference chair by month’s end. When there is a vote, it won’t be a long conference; it will be fast. Everyone knows the outcome,” the ally said.
As Cheney and Ryan attempt to maintain influence in the Republican Party, both seem eager to remove Trump from his influential position. For instance, Ryan said on April 30 that Trump “is going to fade.”
