House Republicans Prepare To Oust Liz Cheney From Leadership
FTA:House Republicans are gearing up for a referendum on Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s role in leadership this week after she supported Democrats’ rushed second impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
Cheney ignited backlash from her own party three weeks ago when she announced her support for Democrats’ plan to remove the outgoing president days before the end of his term. The three-term Wyoming congresswoman claimed her choice to indict the president whose restrained foreign policy approach she frequently opposed was a “vote of conscience.”
The vote, taken at the height of the media’s anti-Trump frenzy, angered and disappointed many of her colleagues and constituents, already provoking a primary challenge back home, a censure by members of her own state party, and now a threat to derail her from House leadership. Cheney had previously upset members of her conference with lackluster fundraising, an inability to recruit candidates, and support for primary opponents of a member who opposes her preferred levels of foreign interventionism.
While members repeatedly said they didn’t necessarily have a problem with a random member of the Republican conference voting for impeachment, they viewed a member of leadership doing so as a scandal. One Republican recounted the punishment received when this person voted against a rule change leadership sought. How could Cheney remain in leadership after helping the Democrats’ push to divide the Republican Party and demoralize its voters, the member wondered.

"The largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S. cops. Not ISIS ... not anyone or anything else"
She said cops were guilty of "genocide" and urged people to "rise up"
This is the new mainstream in Biden's party— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 2, 2021
Nothing I’d like to see more than Liz Cheney pay heavily for her anti AMERICA, anti PATRIOT position. They are so stupid, they think they’re bashing and insulting Trump, but it’s the 80,000,000 America loving Patriots that they’re trashing.
