DES MOINES – Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to former Congresswoman Liz Cheney's lecture at Drake University tonight:

"It’s telling that Liz Cheney feels more at home on a liberal college campus than meeting with Iowans in the true heart of our state after being soundly rejected by her own voters.

“Cheney has done nothing but deceitfully push an agenda, tear at the fabric of our party, and alienate GOP members.

“The only people who listen to Liz Cheney are woke liberals, who were the ones leading the charge against her father a few decades ago. What a joke."
