Former Rep. Liz Cheney says new House Speaker Mike Johnson is 'dangerous' because of his efforts to advance Trump's lawsuits meant to overturn the 2020 election.
Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney claims that newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is 'dangerous' for the country because he supported former President Trump's efforts to undermine the 2020 election despite knowing they were false.
Johnson won the speakership Oct. 25, three weeks after eight Republicans joined every Democrat in voting to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. His election followed three weeks of chaos within the GOP as several high-ranking party leaders struggled to win enough support for the top job in the House. Though a member of House GOP leadership, the rank-and-file caucus members rallied around Johnson as he won the support of both conservative and more moderate wings of the party.
