CNN published this video item, entitled “Kevin McCarthy’s epic flip-flop on Liz Cheney” – below is their description.

In this latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains why many Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, have flip-flopped and left Cheney on an island.
