Read our privacy policy Former US Republican Representative Liz Cheney made a worrying prediction about newly-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson during a podcast appearance this week, in which she described the Louisiana congressman as “dangerous.” Ms Cheney, who previously represented Wyoming, said that although Mr Johnson has stated he’s committed to defending the US Constitution, his past actions have shown otherwise, she noted on the Politics is Everythingpodcast hosted by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. But that’s not what he did when we were all tested in the aftermath of the 2020 election.” She explained that during her time as chairwoman of the House Republican Conference from 2019 to 2021, Mr Johnson attempted to convince 125 Republicans to support an amicus brief with the US Supreme Court seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia. “And I think that the country unfortunately will come to see the measure of his character.” She added: “So it’s a concerning moment to have him be elected Speaker of the House…” Mr Johnson is “dangerous” she continued, because he was a Republican who knew better than to go along with the efforts to undermine the country by attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Mr Johnson, who is a US Republican Representative from Louisiana, has espoused extreme views on homosexuality and previously supported a national abortion ban.
