'If Republicans were serious about getting Hunter Biden testimony, they could': Liz Cheney

Speaking to "The View" on Wednesday, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) explained that if Republicans truly cared about hearing from Hunter Biden, then they could make it happen.

In a wide-ranging interview about the state of the Republican Party, Cheney was asked about the disastrous House Oversight and Reform Committee that met Wednesday to discuss holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress because he refused to testify behind closed doors. Biden unexpectedly appeared at the hearing, willing to speak, but publicly. Republicans have refused to allow it.

"I think sunshine is the best disinfectant," said co-host Sunny Hostin. "And Hunter Biden says he will publicly testify and show up today. They didn't take him up on his offer. What did you make of the entire zoo that we saw?"

Cheney said that from her observation, the Republicans don't really care about his testimony.

"I think with respect to his testimony, if the Republicans on the committee were really serious about getting his testimony, they could work it out," she explained. "I mean, if you look at the [House] Select Committee, there are many people who didn't want to testify, and, you know, we worked it out, and there are ways you can do that."

She explained that it's important people understand and recognize "these aren't games. These are really important issues."

Holding the "circus," she said, for "political gain, I think, is really damaging."
