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."

It’s like you’re telling Trump to hide. What for? You cannot destroy your enemies when you burn the bridges.
It’s another rigged Stalinist show trial impeachment. Once again the GOP will not let Trump produce the defense he wants to. Trump has no obligation to the GOP and their little gaslighting beltway theater.
Until she loses in the primary
EXACTLY!
Well said.
The GOP is secure in its place right now, just wait, they haven’t felt the wrath of their constituents yet
The GOP is a dead party.....you can thank them for the mess that is coming
Ronald Reagan’s biggest mistake the first George Bush
Fine. Form a Third Party, then.
McConnell is ever bit as repulsive as Cheney is. It’s time the base shoved his head back in his shell.
Two people that would not get re-elected (again) if the election was held tomorrow: Liz Cheney and Mitch McConnell.
Devin Nunez really said nothing against the steal. I was very disappointed.
But but but we don’t need a new party we’ll just take over the GOP!! /sarcasm...
This statement said it all!! Best description of what happened that I've read yet!
GOPe is about 8% of the party. If that.
If you look at the numbers endorsement by RINO fossils (Who will be gone soon!) don’t help her in Wyoming or anywhere else.
McConnell must REALLY want to destroy the GOP forever! How damn BLIND is he?
GOPe will run 2 or 3 designated losers against Cheney to split the vote against her. Add in a bunch of Democrats in the open primary and most likely she wins. I hope I am wrong but that seems to be what the Quislings are counting on happening.
Mitch sounds like he’s in the middle of transitioning to becoming a transgender, and they’ve already completed the necessary “snip-snip” step of that transition.
Why is McCarthy spending his political capital on a politically dead woman walking?
Yeeeeep....
Lincoln Project, Cheney, McTurtle.
yes...the swamp does take care of their own...
your correct..
Professional Politicians are all alike...kiss each other’s a##$$ and ignore the people who voted for them...
Mitch and Liz are prime examples...’’they are going to destroy this party” and yes, it is time for a NEW PARTY...
I’LL BE FIRST IN LINE TO SIGN UP....
