First on CNN: Liz Cheney gets boost from McConnell amid divisive intraparty battle over Trump's impeachment
CNN ^

Posted on 02/01/2021 5:38:43 PM PST by Bigtigermike

Rep. Liz Cheney, under fire from former President Donald Trump and his staunchest defenders, is picking up support from some influential Republicans as her allies close ranks and resist the effort to oust her from the third-ranking spot in House GOP leadership.

On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was the latest Republican to give her a boost, saying in a statement to CNN that she had "the courage" to act on her convictions in the aftermath of her vote to impeach Trump last month on a charge he incited the deadly insurrection that ransacked Capitol Hill on January 6.

"Liz Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them," McConnell said. "She is an important leader in our party and in our nation. I am grateful for her service and look forward to continuing to work with her on the crucial issues facing our nation."

“...under fire from former President Donald Trump...”

Have I missed something? I don’t recall President Trump responding to her impeachment vote.

Unless the Gelded Outmoded Pu**ies are reminded of the possibility of a new conservative political party to challenge them, they will continue with this crap.

I’m annoyed that Trump met with McCarthy. I think he should tell them all to go screw themselves and let them have their little unconstitutional impeachment party. He should lay low. They can’t function without Trump to kick around. Trump’s lawyer should file the brief tomorrow and tell them Trump’s done. He had no representation in the House do he will not be participating in the senate show.

They have an actual screw loose if they think light in the loafers Mitch is an “influencer”.
I pulled up the GOP website to get a phone number to tell them so.

There on their homepage is a photo of Trump! It says “Donald Trump, paycheck President!” and shows him signing a bill.

These #$%^&* Cheney and Mitch are trying to impeach him and unperson him in the GOP, and ensure he can never hold office again....WHILE using his photo to raise funds.

God I despise the GOP. NO way I support this bunch in 2022.

The GOP gave the country to the DNC because they hated POTUS Trump and all who support him.

If Roberts is a no-show, that is Roberts saying “It’s not a legal impeachment”. Trump should take the cue and not even participate. When he runs again, the Supremes would almost certainly rule it was not a legal impeachment, and it was a bill of attainder, and vacate it.

” I think he should tell them all to go screw themselves and let them have their little unconstitutional impeachment party. He should lay low. “

****

It’s like you’re telling Trump to hide. What for? You cannot destroy your enemies when you burn the bridges. How many times I’ve been to business meetings where I hate the other people at the other side of the room. Just like what Vito Corleone said: keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

We reelect these people year after year as being the lesser of evils.

I don’t think that will fly this time. They need to go, whatever the cost. GOP needs to be rebuilt from the ground up or scattered to the winds.

I agree with others. Trump should not show up for the impeachment. Its a puppet show. It is meaningless.

Its only value is the extent it lures GOP puppets into further exposing themselves.

Trump said he wont do it on third party. There’s no point in supporting a show if the lead star ain’t in it.

I’m exasperated. I through with these jokers


This is good news. China Mitch is sticking his nose in House business. This gives the green light to Gaetz and the rest to eviscerate the GOP coupists in the Senate. Game on.

I don’t think Mitch holds much sway over the good people of Wyoming so it doesn’t matter what he says.


Obviously, China Mitch thinks Cheney is in a safe position. With GOPe support and an open primary he is probably correct. I see it as maybe 50/50 that she loses her seat. Maybe less.

Gaetz is one of the few Repubs in the game who still has his soul. Devin Nunes is another. The total number you can probably count on your fingers.

Because you are giving legitimacy to the process. If your neighbors have a meeting to decide what kind of car you should buy next, you don’t show up. That only tells them their opinion matters.

He shouldn’t even show.

McConnell is in the Senate, not the House - his opinions about Cheney mean nothing.
