Liz Cheney (R-WY) was slammed on Wednesday morning following remarks that she made during a press conference in which she attacked former President Donald Trump, a move that visibly irritated top Republican House leaders present at the event.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks come as the political left has sought to divide the Republican Party by continuing to press GOP officials about where they stand on Trump moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>A reporter at the news conference asked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy if Trump should be speaking at CPAC, to which McCarthy responded: \u201cYes, he should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That reporter then turned to Cheney for a reaction to the same question, to which Cheney responded: \u201cThat\u2019s up to CPAC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheney continued, \u201cI\u2019ve been clear in my views about President Trump and the extent to which following January 6th, I don\u2019t believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she made the remarks, a look of discomfort could be seen on McCarthy\u2019s face and, at the very end of her remarks, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise could be seen briefly shaking his head. McCarthy immediately concluded the press conference following Cheney\u2019s remarks, saying, \u201cOn that high note, thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Q: Do you believe former President Trump should speaking at CPAC?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a>: &#8220;Yes he should.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepLizCheney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepLizCheney<\/a>: &#8220;That&#8217;s up to CPAC\u2026.I don&#8217;t believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy: &#8220;On that high note, thank you very much.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZOkTUbpQCP\">pic.twitter.com\/ZOkTUbpQCP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CSPAN (@cspan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cspan\/status\/1364605432673746946?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s remarks contradicting McCarthy\u2019s statement come after McCarthy recently backed Cheney while other Republican lawmakers sought to remove her from a leadership position in the Republican Party following her vote to impeach Trump over the events that unfolded on January 6.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy \u201coffered a full-throated defense of Cheney and made the case for her to stay in leadership \u2014 a critical boost for the Wyoming Republican,\u201d Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/02\/03\/mccarthy-defends-liz-cheney-465626\">reported<\/a>.
