Liz Cheney and Elise Stefanik represent 'battle for the soul of the party'
CNN
It was a tale of two House Republican Conference chairs.
Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, who currently holds the No. 3 leadership job in the GOP, said at a news conference this week that Americans deserve to know the "truth" about January 6, which is that "Nancy Pelosi bears responsibility, as speaker of the House, for the tragedy" — even though she is not responsible for day-to-day security operations. Just several hours later, her predecessor, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, was seated alongside her Democratic colleagues at the January 6 select committee hearing and agreed that the country needs to hear the truth. But she had a vastly different vision for what that might look like: "We must overcome the many efforts we are already seeing to cover up and obscure the facts," she said, taking a shot at her GOP colleagues. "No Member of Congress should now attempt to defend the indefensible, obstruct this investigation, or whitewash what happened that day."
