Gender politics hound GOP in Cheney drama
The Hill ^ | May 4, 2021 | Scott Wong and Mike Lillis

House Republicans have a gender problem, and it is increasingly an issue as the drama around Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) engulfs the conference.

Republicans are actively plotting Cheney’s ouster as chairwoman of the House Republican Conference over her repeated criticisms of former President Trump, but doing so would remove the only woman on Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) leadership team.

It’s an awkward reality for a party vying to win back female suburban voters in next year’s midterm elections, at a time when there are fewer than three-dozen women in the 212-strong GOP conference.

What a dumb article.

The GOP is going to replace Cheney with another woman. Elsie Stefanik has already been mentioned as a likely successor.

I thought they were looking at replacing her with another woman, so this is only a “gender” issue in the mole-hill’s mind.

Liz Cheney is lucky she got elected. Now she attacks the people who defended her father.

She can’t do the job. It has nothing to do with gender it’s about lack of talent.

Maybe she should be replaced with Marjorie Taylor Greene so there isn’t any pesky little gender issue.
I’m sure THE HILL would love that.

Why is it a “gender problem” with Cheney, but not with that controversial conservative female representative who was just elected? (I forget her name.)

Here comes the dinosaur media trying to cover for the war pig. If articles from the Hill weren’t posted here, I would never see their slop.

A woman can be a corrupt and as big of liar as a man.

But Elise isn’t controllable like Liz is

So The Hill has to create a false drama to protect their girl

I agree with Martin Luther King Jr...it's the content of one's character,not what's in one's panties. Her character is sorely lacking.

Full stop.

Gender plays no role in this. It doesn’t matter if Cheney is a male or female. The person’s policies are what matters.

100% is the goal.
