Lots of peeps in wrong locker room

Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs introduced a resolution aimed at removing Republican Reps. Liz Cheney, of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger, of Illinois, from the House GOP conference Tuesday morning, two lawmakers confirmed to The Post.
Biggs (R-Ariz.) pointed to Cheney and Kinzinger’s decision to accept Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) invitation to sit on the Jan. 6 select committee, which a sizable number of GOP lawmakers have alleged is politically motivated and skewed in Democrats’ favor.
Kinzinger and Cheney’s decision to buck party lines and serve on the panel has been met with sharp backlash from a number of their colleagues, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) going as far as referring to them as “Pelosi Republicans.” The call to oust them from the House GOP conference has been met with praise conservative hardliners.
“I am extremely supportive of Representative Biggs’ resolution, which he attempted to introduce today,” Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) said in a statement. “You can’t spend halftime in the opponent’s locker room and expect the team to welcome you back for the rest of the game. I hope the GOP Conference will seriously consider this.”

Absolutely!
Liz and Adam Quisling. Why call yourself a Republican, when you so willingly bend over and allow yourself to be sodomized?!
I have doubts they’ll actually do it but would be a great start
This move is excellent. Let’s see which republicans back this and which do not. This will be an excellent indicator of exactly which members are ripe for challenge in a primary.
“Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs introduced a resolution aimed at removing Republican Reps. Liz Cheney, of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger, of Illinois, from the House GOP conference.”
Please. No rebukes. No censures. No sternly worded letters.
Expel them from the party.
next viable political office for these two is maybe dogcatcher.
“The resolution was referred to an internal committee, and is expected to be shut down by GOP leadership, one senior GOP source confirmed. It would need the support of two-thirds of the conference to pass, a difficult task with both Cheney and Kinzinger retaining a number of allies within the party.”
What a bunch of pathetic losers!
Kinzinger is an emotional basketcase. How did he get elected? Don’t do it again!
Kick them out of the party.
Does not go far enough.
How on earth does leftist Pelosi get to pick the ‘Republican’ members of the committee ?
Totally unConstitutional, as if that even conceivably matters to leftists.
It’s about time.
I’d bet that McCarthy doesn’t have the stones to follow through.
GOOD!
Good.
GOP Leadership is an oxymoron.
McCain redux
