evidence: Liz Cheney did not hold back when slamming both former President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in an interview this weekend at the Texas Tribune Festival. Cheney, who vowed to campaign against election-denying candidates in the November election, declared that if Trump becomes the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, then "I won’t be a Republican." Trump supporters might dismiss Cheney as someone whose words carry little weight after being roundly defeated in her House primary in August. But keep in mind that the Wyoming representative still received nearly 30% of the vote against her Trump-backed opponent. [...] Obviously, today Cheney has become known as a fierce critic of Trump and other election deniers. In fact, during her interview Saturday, she vowed to campaign against Kari Lake, Arizona’s election-denying GOP gubernatorial candidate whom Trump has endorsed.
