Cheney Says Enzi is ‘Confused’

Liz Cheney launched her campaign for Senate by calling 69-year-old Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) “confused,” NBC News reports.

Said Cheney: “I think Sen. Enzi may be confused. I think he may have me mixed up with Cynthia Lummis. What happened is I called Sen. Enzi to tell him that I was considering a run. And I have always believed that that decision should be made irrespective of whoever else is in the race.”

She added: “It’s not true — I did not tell Sen. Enzi I wouldn’t run if he did. I suppose he’s just confused.”
