Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney mocked newly-appointed impeachment manager and Democratic Colorado Rep. Jason Crow over a Sunday morning appearance on CNN.
Crow told “State of the Union” guest host Brianna Keilar that President Donald Trump did “attempt to bribe and coerce a foreign government official.”

Cheney was quick to fire back, saying, “You impeached the president with no direct evidence in a totally partisan process where Dems set all the rules, picked all the witnesses, and denied due process. And you still failed to prove your case. But you got a cool pen.” (RELATED: CBS Host Repeatedly Interrupts Liz Cheney. The Interview With Adam Schiff Was Completely Different)
Saying it doesn’t make it so, @RepJasonCrow.
You impeached the President with no direct evidence in a totally partisan process where Dems set all the rules, picked all the witnesses, and denied due process.
And you still failed to prove your case.
But you got a cool pen. https://t.co/PvpIsxoJcz

Cheney was not the only one to take aim at House Democrats over the ceremonial souvenir impeachment pens House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had made to commemorate the occasion. A CNN panel late last week referred to the move as “unusual” and “jarring.”
