Ousted GOP Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney appeared to endorse Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for another term with the speaker’s gavel Tuesday, just a week before Election Day.
“I want to say a word about Speaker Pelosi,” Cheney said at the City Club in Cleveland with PBS’s Judy Woodruff. “There are many, many issues, maybe most issues, on which we disagree. But I think that she is a tremendous leader. I’ve watched her up close. She is a leader of historic consequence.”
When asked later in the interview whether the country would be better off with a Republican majority, Cheney rejected the idea, preferring the same leadership that’s suppressed energy production and sent inflation to new heights, among other fiascos.
“People just need to understand what it will mean to have a Republican majority in the House of Representatives,” Cheney said. “The people who will be running the House of Representatives in a Republican majority will give authority and power to some of the most radical members of Congress and I don’t think that that’s good for the country.”
Woodruff sought to clarify Cheney’s remarks before the soon-to-be ex-lawmaker cut off the moderator.
“I think I’ll leave it the way I said it,” Cheney said.
“We heard you,” Woodruff responded candidly.
