Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Monday for not being a team player after she continued to divide the Republican Party by attacking former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy\u2019s comments come after Cheney continued to take veiled shots at the former president by <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/550251-liz-cheney-says-mcconnell-and-mccarthy-are-heads-of-the-gop\">suggesting<\/a> that he was not a leader in the Republican Party and said in an interview with The New York Post this week that she was not ruling out running for president, which was met with widespread <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-jr-blasts-lincoln-project-liz-cheney-after-she-refuses-to-rule-out-running-for-president\">mockery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a responsibility, if you\u2019re gonna be in leadership, leaders eat last,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cAnd when leaders try to go out, and not work as one team, it creates difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy said that he has privately advised Cheney to tone down her attacks that are causing division in the party, but when asked by a reporter whether Cheney was taking the advice, responded: \u201cYou be the judge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked earlier this year at a Republican Congressional press conference if she thought Trump should be speaking at CPAC, Cheney acknowledged that it was CPAC\u2019s decision, but added: \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>The Daily Wire reported at the time:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p><em>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. [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy immediately concluded the press conference following Cheney\u2019s remarks, saying, \u201cOn that high note, thank you very much.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During her interview on Monday with the New York Post, Cheney said, \u201cI\u2019m not ruling anything in or out\u201d regarding a possible run for president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a huge number of interesting candidates, but I think that we\u2019re going to be in a good position to be able to take the White House,\u201d Cheney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-jr-blasts-lincoln-project-liz-cheney-after-she-refuses-to-rule-out-running-for-president\">said<\/a>. \u201cI do think that some of our candidates who led the charge, particularly the senators who led the unconstitutional charge, not to certify the election, you know, in my view that\u2019s disqualifying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump Jr. responded to the news story by writing on Twitter: \u201cI can only assume this means that Lincoln Project Liz is planning a primary challenge to Joe Biden for the Dem nomination because God knows she\u2019d be lucky to break 5% running in the 2024 Republican primary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boris Epshsteyn, a top Trump adviser, wrote: \u201cHaving just been censured by her home state GOP and having 10 percent approval rating with Republicans in Wyoming is a GREAT start!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another Trump adviser, Jason Miller, responded to the news by saying that Cheney was giving herself an \u201cout\u201d because he thinks that she has \u201creceived new polling\u201d showing that she may lose her primary race.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
