A second Trump loyalist, who like Jordan is under scrutiny by the Jan. 6 panel, went even further, calling Cheney a “liar” who is “jealous” of Trump.
“Trump was not involved. Trump was not involved. Liz Cheney is a liar, and you can quote me on that,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told The Hill on Wednesday. “She’s a liar and she’s only serving her own interests, which is to tear Trump down. She’s a liar. It’s a scam. It’s a witch hunt. It’s a joke committee, and I think it’s a waste of taxpayers’ dollars.”
“She’s just jealous and she hates Trump,” Greene added. “Nobody cares about Liz Cheney. I think that’s the biggest story: Nobody cares about Liz Cheney or their stupid committee.”
It’s unclear whether the 55-year-old mother of five will have any future in politics after this term. Once seen as a future Speaker of the House, she was unceremoniously booted by her fellow Republicans from her No. 3 leadership spot in May after she consistently called out Trump’s lies that the 2020 election had been stolen from him. Some colleagues want her banned from the GOP conference that she once led and stripped of her powerful slot on the House Armed Services Committee.
