Liz Cheney has a big fan in one of The View’s co-hosts, Alyssa Farah Griffin, whose voice seemed to crack on Friday’s show as she lauded the former congresswoman for “doing what’s right.”

“I watched person after person that I admired and looked up to in politics not speak out and just go along to get along—except for one woman, Liz Cheney,” the former Trump White House communications official turned View co-host said, voice shaking. She added that Cheney was “a true leader,” and “someone who puts their ambition aside, their career, the money they could make, to do what’s right.”
