Matt Gaetz Says His Push To Oust Liz Cheney Is Being Encouraged By The Trump Family

Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies in Congress, said Monday that the Trump family has given him “nothing but encouragement” in his effort to oust Representative Liz Cheney from her leadership post with House Republicans. But Mr. Gaetz added that he had not spoken to the former president in almost a week, and did not know whether Mr. Trump would get personally involved.

At the moment, the Florida congressman does not have the backing of Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader, who said over the weekend that he still supported Ms. Cheney but had “concerns” about her decision to vote to impeach Mr. Trump. Mr. McCarthy said that she did not inform him of her decision first, which he found troubling. “I do think she has a lot of questions she has to answer to the conference,” he said in a recent interview with the journalist Greta Van Susteren.

Heck, leave The Trumps out of this. I personally am encouraging the seditious Liz Cheney to be removed from her chairmanship.

I got a letter from President Trump and one from the 1st Lady. Both very encouraging.

It’s still not a crime to be encouraging.

The bottom line with all these scumbags... is that they think we are all so stupid that we can’t make a choice without them telling us what to decide. You see, “without Trump” we’ll just go back to being the idiots that serve them and do whatever they say.
