Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Rt.com: “Divided Republicans in Congress awkwardly disagree on Trump’s future at same press conference (VIDEO)”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Asked on Wednesday whether Trump should be speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida this week, McCarthy replied simply, “Yes, he should.”
Cheney, who was standing behind McCarthy, was then asked what she thought about the matter – though her answer should surprise no one, as she’s been a vocal critic of the former president.
“I don’t believe he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country,” Cheney said, as a visibly annoyed McCarthy stood silently.
“On that high note, thank you very much,” McCarthy then said, ending the press conference.

Liz Cheney knows she can't get reelected in Wyoming because the people there hate her, so she's trying hard to make sure her new friends at CNN will hire her once she loses her primary. #LincolnProjectLiz is less popular with Republicans than Andrew Cuomo is at nursing homes!!! https://t.co/IBZkim3YgI

I am so disappointed in this person. Having met @Liz_Cheney years before she ran for anything, what she has become is appalling to me. https://t.co/C9OAWx8jMs

I disagree with Liz Cheney on many, many things. But I have nothing but respect for the way she continues to ignore enormous pressure to protect Trump. She's far more courageous than @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy or @LeaderMcConnell or the vast majority of today's GOP officials https://t.co/J9yNiyD4Gt

Wow! Brava Liz Cheney, on the former guy speaking at QPAC:"I don't believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country." https://t.co/8WVI3AFGq2

Never has a Congressional leader been instantly rebuked by a lower ranking member at his own press conference. Until now. https://t.co/2CQF43Nb2t
