Cheney Slams Stefanik's Changing Stance on Jan. 6 Insurrection

Former Rep. Liz Cheney criticizes Rep. Elise Stefanik for downplaying the severity of the Capitol attack and referring to those arrested as 'hostages'.

Liz Cheney, former Rep. and vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee, has publicly criticized Rep. Elise Stefanik for her changing stance on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S Capitol.
Stefanik, who once condemned the attack, has recently referred to those arrested for their involvement as 'hostages' and called the investigation into the attack a 'sham'.
Cheney highlighted Stefanik's past statement condemning the attack as a 'rare moment of honesty' and questioned how she 'morphed into a total crackpot'.
Stefanik, who replaced Cheney in the House GOP leadership after Cheney was ousted for voting in favor of impeaching Trump, is now seen as a potential running mate for Trump in the upcoming election.
Stefanik's team has dismissed Cheney's criticism, suggesting that Cheney will have to answer for her role in the Jan. 6 committee.
