Conservative commentator Ann Coulter attacked Liz Cheney for her Wyoming Senate challenge and other Republicans for being selfish Monday.
"The problem is we have hucksters, shysters, people ripping off the Republican Party for their own self-aggrandizement, for their own egos, to make money," she said on
Fox News’ "Hannity" program.
"I would put Todd Akin, Newt Gingrich, Liz Cheney, Mark Sanford all in the same boat, and the consultants who persuaded Linda McMahon and John Raese to run.” Raese ran for Senate in West Virginia last year.
Cheney is taking on Republican incumbent Mike Enzi in the
Republican primary next year.
"Why should we be having — and I love Liz Cheney— but why should we be having a rancorous primary against a good Republican senator other than for Liz Cheney’s ego?" Coulter said.
The show's host Sean Hannity stood up for Cheney, saying she is "more conservative."
Coulter's response: “No, she isn’t. But that’s the point. There are a lot of problems. We are not concentrating on winning, we are allowing shysters to take advantage of the Republican Party."
