Stefanik has since downplayed the significance of the attack on the Capitol and cast doubt on the legitimacy of legal action against the attackās participants. She is reportedly under consideration to be Trumpās VP pick should he win his bid for the presidency.
Cheney formerly was vice chair of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack ā which Stefanik
has described as āillegitimate and unconstitutional.ā Cheney became the focus of Trumpās ire and lost in the primary for her Wyoming House seat in 2022.
On Saturday,
Cheney posted again to point out that the statement in question was no longer available on Stefanikās
official House website.
As of Saturday morning, the website showed no press releases prior to 2023.
On Jan. 7 of this year, Stefanik referred to those imprisoned for offenses related to Jan. 6 as āhostagesā in an appearance on āMeet The Press.ā
āI have concerns about the treatment of the January 6 hostages,ā she added.
Cheney called her out for it later that morning on āFace the Nation.ā
In a statement to POLITICO Saturday, a spokesperson for Stefanik accused Cheney of ālashing outā over personal animus, noting that Stefanikās previous statements could still be found on several social media channels.
David Cohen contributed to this report.
