Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — stating she has “no faith” Johnson will “fulfill his constitutional obligations” as they pertain to certifying the 2024 election.

In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, moderator Kristen Welker — who had just interviewed Johnson moments earlier — brought in Cheney and asked her to weigh in.

“You just heard how the House Speaker answered my questions about whether he would certify the election results,” Welker said. “Do you have faith that this election will be free and fair and that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?”

Cheney proceeded to voice a complete lack of confidence that Johnson would certify the election if former President Donald Trump lost.

    I hadn’t thought of that but yeah this is how Trump wins. This is going to be so hilarious. I’m sure Democrats will blame everyone but themselves for coddling the fascist GOP for generations.

      It’s definitely going to be the fault of

      • Jill Stein, for winning a critical swing 0.4% of the vote

      • Muslim Voters, because they secretly approve of the genocides in the Middle East and hope Trump will do them even harder

      • Evil Foreign Governments, the root cause of everything bad on the internet. They want a Trump Presidency because he will cause US foreign policy to become weak, soy, and too friendly to foreigners
