Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming blamed the ties between ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and former President Trump for the House's disarray as the chamber struggles to elect a new speaker.
"I think what you're seeing right now and among the Republicans in the House is a direct result of the decisions that Kevin McCarthy made to embrace Donald Trump, to embrace the most radical and extreme members of our party, to elevate them," Cheney said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
"So it's not a surprise that we are where we are, but it's a disgrace, and it's an embarrassment," she said.
