“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) engaged in a tense text exchange last week,” Axios reports.. “Johnson told Axios in an exclusive interview on Saturday that he reached out to Cheney — a former close ally and friend — after she took aim at him on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ over certifying the election.” “Johnson said the two ‘agreed to disagree’ over whether Trump is a threat to democracy.” “Cheney disputed Johnson’s characterization of the exchange, telling Axios that she and the speaker used to be friends, but we did not ‘agree to disagree.’”
