Trump gets his revenge on impeachment
The 2022 midterms aren’t getting any easier for the group of House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump last year.
Of the 10 GOP members who broke party lines to vote for Trump’s impeachment in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, most won’t be heading back to Washington next year.
Four – Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), John Katko (N.Y.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio) and Fred Upton (Mich.) – opted not to seek reelection. June saw Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) lose renomination to South Carolina state Rep. Russell Fry, who carried Trump’s endorsement.
And just last week, Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), a first-term congressman who had barely taken his oath of office before casting his impeachment vote, was ousted by John Gibbs, a former Trump administration official who campaigned on his support for the former president.
Another one bites the dust: Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) became the latest House Republican who voted to impeach Trump to lose a primary on Tuesday when she conceded to her Trump-backed rival Joe Kent a week after Washington State voters cast their ballots.
So far, only two pro-impeachment House Republicans have survived their primaries: Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) and David Valadao (R-Calif.), though the latter still faces stiff competition in the November general election.
Not over yet: The track record for those Republicans who bucked their own party line in the impeachment vote isn’t good, and it appears likely to get worse next week, when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will go before voters in Wyoming.

Never more gratified then to see Joe Kent get nominated for Southwest Washington over Herrera-Beutler, who defines the pejorative “RINO”.
The woman was a chameleon who ran as a Republican because it was the only way to get elected in that district.
When Lizard goes belly up we will finally be rid of The Clintons, The Bushs and the Cheneys - a great start for OUR great reset.
“when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will go before voters in Wyoming.”
Seems like that day will never quite get here.
.........normally, Friday is margarita day around here. Next week, we’ve all talked and agreed to have it the evening of the day it is announced that Liz bit the dust!
Squashing the Lizard can’t come soon enough!!
I love the claim of supposed “wins” for the Democrats.
Biden got another massive waste of money spending bill passed including 87,000 more IRS agents. That’s sure to be popular right?
Let’s see.....inflation didn’t actually get worse than it already is for one whole month!
Oh and let’s not forget, people are taking a lot of 2nd jobs because they can’t make ends meet! Success!
and yes, your pet RINOs are going down in flames.....they’re going down in flames even with the full backing of the RINO establishment.
Didn’t she run originally as a Tea Party Republican like Mia Love?
And as her district is more and more polluted by Oregonian tax dodgers moving across the river into Clark County, she thought an impeachment vote would help her with those libs.
She was wrong
Getting rid of his opponents through elections is a threat to democracy!
Purge them all every last one of the stinking lying cowardly traitorous libtard turds. Send them packing with a boot up their butts
“Getting rid of his opponents through elections is a threat to democracy!”
Getting rid of democracy would be the best thing since the fall of Rome. We were never supposed to be a democracy. WE ARE the REPUBLICAN States of America. I’m sick of democracy. Please may it be buried forever.
Wish you hadn’t mentioned Love. Heartburn briefly. She sounded great. I sent her money. But Boy, did she ever disappoint. We need a more severe way to punish lying poc’s than just un-voting them.
I think the only question remaining at this point is how badly lizard-breath loses....
Why did that POS Dan Newhouse survive
Every one of them should have been immediately removed from the party, or at least removed from any leadership positions and committees. It is a shame that they had any continuing role beyond simply being an elected member.
Tuesday. And I will raise a glass when that race gets called
I have a feeling lizard will get some women sympathy votes to avoid the total humiliation she deserves.
It won’t be the last we see of her, but it will be the beginning of the end.
They should be pro-impeachment. Impeach Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Garland, Obama—now that you can impeach a president who has already left office.
