Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was the first House Republican to support the rushed second impeachment of President Trump. Nine other Republicans ultimately followed Cheney, the House Republican Conference chair, in joining with Democrats to impeach the president with just days left in his term.
Cheney's followers in the House now appear to be following the Wyoming representative in a new way: getting censured for their vote to impeach Trump.
The Republican Party in Allegan County, Michigan, voted to censure U.S. Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) following his vote to impeach then-President Trump earlier this month. The censure was confirmed by a unanimous voice vote at a convention held on Jan. 21.
Republicans said Upton "ignored the voice of his voters in Allegan County" by voting with Democrats to impeach Trump following "incomplete evidence, little debate, and the absence of due process," according to Mlive.
The Wyoming Republican Party similarly blasted Rep. Liz Cheney for her impeachment vote, saying the vote prompted a torrent of angry calls and emails from constituents upset at the state's at-large representative for "aligning herself with leftists."
Following the outcry, the Republican Party Central Committee in Carbon County, Wyoming, unanimously voted to censure Cheney for her vote. The Committee also demanded the congresswoman present herself before the group to explain herself.
In a statement, Cheney defended her vote by claiming President Trump "summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack," which "caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic."
Why hasn’t Cheney been removed from her leadership position?
Queen Liz refuses to be censured by the peons back home, how dare they question her.
That woman needs to be voted out. She is far to imperial to represent the good people of Wyoming.
She is probably trying to stuff the primary with multiple candidates using daddy’s and the Lincoln projects money I’d have a field day running WMD ads tying her to her incompetent dad who got over 100,000 soldiers wounded or killed in his glorious Middle East escapes
Because they all feel the same way. The alleged anger over her stance is theater
I wish Washington state had a functional pubbie party so that I could tell them how much they suck!
Liz Cheney hasn’t been removed yet because Uni-party Republicans hate President Trump, his policies and the Americans who voted for him. They like war.
President Biden a Uni-party Democrat has just sent troops to Syria to reignited a war in Syria, maybe even activating the Obama ISIS fighters to oust Syrian President Bashar el Assad from power. We might also discover Eric Schmidt and Facebook’s Zuckerberg orchestrating with the Biden administration a coup to remove leaders as they did with the Obama/Biden administration in Egypt and Libya.
She’s evading calls and emails but has been summoned to appear before them in AZ I believe it is on February 9...?
Bannon said last week he really believes she’s going to be out of her leadership position.
I hope so, because he also says the behind the scenes word is she thinks she can ignore it and it’ll go away. AZ officials say no way! They’re keeping the heat on her. They’re really angry!
Washington State Republican Party did do a resolution condemning the impeachment and expressing their disappointment in Newhouse and Beutler. My county GOP signed onto the resolution. I guess that is better than nothing, although there were a few local PCOs who didn’t like it, which is very frustrating.
Where you refer to Arizona I assume you mean Wyoming.
Wyoming will tske care of Lez Cheney.
Oh no, they get censured! Does that even rise to the level of a slap on the wrist? Or would that be step number two, if they’re bad again?
Washington state. The home of “conservative commentator” Michael Medved. A lot of Republicans in WA would be considered Democrats in most other states.
Cheney better enjoy her last seconds in the limelight. There is already someone up there who is going against her in the next election.
Why hasn’t Cheney been removed from her leadership position?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same reason she was picked for it.
They only want globalist Bush League Republicans in leadership.
Why weren’t they censured?
Why is Liz Cheney in this Congress at all? Why isn’t Dick Cheney charged, prosecuted and hanged for treason and crimes v humanity.
Oops. Did I say AZ? LOL sorry yes. WYOMING.
I’m watching For All Mankind and posting at the same time so didn’t realize. Thanks for the correction. ;)
BS. Running a con requires skill and hard work, qualities alien to RINOs.
