Psaki Weighs In On Cheney Removal, Calls It ‘Disturbing,’ ‘Hard To Understand’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki weighed in on House Republicans’ decision to remove Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her leadership position Wednesday, echoing words that President Joe Biden said last week.

“Our democracy was attacked and six people lost their lives,” Psaki said at a press briefing. “It’s disturbing to see any leader, regardless of party, being attacked for simply speaking the truth. And as the president said last week, it is hard to understand.”
