Liz Cheney Says Trump is "Poisoning our Democratic System"

Summary from the AllSides News Team

In a tweet on Monday, Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) tweeted that former President Donald Trump is "poisoning our democratic system" with his persistent claims that his November election defeat was the result of fraud. Cheney's tweet appeared to anger Trump supporters; House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) said Tuesday that GOP lawmakers are growing more concerned about Cheney’s ability to carry out her duties as conference chair. McCarthy insisted the anti-Cheney sentiment has nothing to do with her vote to impeach Trump after the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
