When Wallace asked multiple times if Scalise believes the election was “stolen,” the congressman continued to repeat the same lies about states not following the Constitution. He evaded directly answering whether he believes the election was fraudulent.

This is not the first time Scalise publicly refused to rebuke the so-called “Big Lie” peddled by Trump and his allies that the election was “stolen” and rife with voter fraud. In February, the Republican acknowledged that “Biden’s the president” but did not directly say whether the election wasn’t stolen.

Following his comments on Sunday, Rep. Liz Cheney blasted Scalise. The Wyoming Republican’s rejection of the voter fraud lie has led to her alienation from most of her party. She is now vice chair of the Jan. 6 House select committee investigating the Capitol insurrection.

“Millions of Americans have been sold a fraud that the election was stolen,” she tweeted. “Republicans have a duty to tell the American people that this is not true. Perpetuating the Big Lie is an attack on the core of our constitutional republic.”
