She was removed in a voice vote just about 15 minutes after the meeting started, the swift culmination of weeks of building tension within the House GOP.

“We are unified behind a single mission of winning back the majority and it was clear from the way that the vote occurred that 99% of our members are focused on that, so it’s time to move on,” said Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee.

Good to hear it was a strong majority and not a wishy washy mixed result, apparently.

Voice vote. Spineless bastards. Can’t get anyone in DC to do the right thing. When’s the last time Congress has passed a budget?

Liz is now Pelosi’s pet viper, programmed to attack President Trump!

Any self labled Republican supporting Cheney is on Pelosi’s payroll or her compromised lists:

Pelosi Producing Oppo Research For Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger To Attack Republican Leaders: GOP Source
Daily Wire ^ | Today | By Ryan Saavedra
Posted on 5/11/2021, 8:41:04 AM by cba123

A top source close to Republican leadership in the nation’s capital says that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is producing opposition research for Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) to attack House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy over the party’s decision to vote this week on Cheney’s position as Conference Chair, the No. 3 spot in House Republican leadership.

Axios reported late on Monday evening that Pelosi was “feeding oppo research against” McCarthy “so others can use the same harsh rhetoric to frame the Republicans as the party of dysfunction.”

The word is out.

The elite class of the GOP have to chose to support a new populist Republican party, or resign the reins of power within the party itself.

There are a couple of dozen others that need to go.

Yes.
Good.

The Week said in headline March 1, 2021: Trump Still Holds the Republican Party by The Throat.

NYT: Apr.9, 2021:
How a Defeated Trump Is Making a Muddle of the G.O.P.

One good thing, the leftist press hasn’t stooped to being biased./S

“We don’t need to be rushing through and coronating somebody. That’s not what we do in America,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R., Texas), who on Tuesday sent a letter to House Republicans urging them to elevate a lawmaker with a more conservative voting record than Ms. Stefanik or leave the position vacant.

Sorry, Roy, but Stefanik has already been coronated by McCarthy and Scalise.

If I were Nancy, I would worry about holding onto her job. A couple of more special election loses and she is the Speaker of Squat.

I knew it was right when she uttered these words during her floor speech.

“Our duty is clear. Every one of us who has sworn the oath must act to prevent the unraveling of our democracy.”

Only Communists use this subliminal false deceptive propaganda label instead of our Republic”.

No loyal Republican would EVER utter those words as the subliminal brainwashing it truly is designed to be.

Now that the whole mediavomits are on attack mode against those that voted to oust Cheney we are going to find out what our leaders are made out of. As far as McCarthy’s he needs to be kicked to the curb. Weasel backstabbing RINO!

That would be a good thing for America not Pelosi’s deep state.

Move in the right direction. Trump does have a hold on the party. I like it.

Hopefully this means that the GOP will purge the Bushies and stand for something again.
