Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, whose criticism of former President Donald Trump led to her ouster from House Republican leadership, said Friday that several Republican members of Congress had voted against impeaching Trump out of fear for their own lives.

Telling CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" that there are "more members who believe in substance and policy and ideals than are willing to say so," Cheney cited the impeachment vote earlier this year, in which she was one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to hold Trump accountable for the Capitol riot.

"If you look at the vote to impeach, for example, there were members who told me that they were afraid for their own security -- afraid, in some instances, for their lives,"

Ahh yes, the old “death threats” game, the true sign of desperation.

There are plenty of Bush League Republicans still in office hoping their R jersey camouflage is still working.

Rubio, Grahamnesty, Cornyn, Tillis, Hoeven, Cassidy, McConnell, Thune, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Boozman, Murkowsky, Wicker, Hyde-Smith, Shelby, Blunt, Sasse, Toomey, Rounds, Lankford, Portman, Burr, Lee, Capito, Barrasso, Collins and Romney are ALL Bush League Republicans.

And those are just the Senators.
145 House members voted to keep Liz Cheney in leadership in February.

They have been totally committed to the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico for 30 years.
ALL Bush League Republicans need to go.
If they believe the right thing to do is to abandon the rule of law and surrender our country by giving amnesty to illegal aliens, they are TransRepublicans.

Even if it were true I would say it’s a good thing.

Yes, their political lives. That’s how politics works, Liz. But when you get your position of power because of who your father is, you can’t grasp that.

It’s supporting Trump that puts people in jeopardy. I have heard it suggested that his supporters should be everything from deprogrammed to shot.

The real threats came from the Left, not from the Trump side.
Leftist projection again.

Good. They should at least be afraid for their careers. If they think deplorables will kill them, well that just shows how out of touch they are with the majority of Americans. It is adequate punishment for their ill thinking to be afraid for their lives. I have no problem with that.

It is a riot to watch and listen to these elite phonies as Trump is taking them down in front of the world.

Come off it, Liz. Thorazine, rather than fear, may be the item of choice for you.

DANG!

Liz Cheney is so dumb that she has never heard the story about ‘when you are in the hole, stop digging.’

She keep lying and her lies are getting more and more rediculous. At some point she will throw herself on the ground and kick and scream “and he’s a big old poopy head”

What a loser.
