House Republicans vote to retain Liz Cheney as their No. 3 leader, rebuffing push by pro-Trump conservatives to oust her
Boston Globe ^ | February 3, 2021

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to retain Rep. Liz Cheney as their No. 3 leader, rebuffing a rebellion by hard-right conservatives angry after she voted last month to impeach then-President Donald Trump.

The secret 145-61 vote came the same day that Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ridiculed Democrats for slating a House vote Thursday on removing Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia from her committees. McCarthy’s comment was a signal that he was dismissing bipartisan demands that Greene be punished for her promotion online and embrace of racist and violent views and bizarre conspiracy theories.

The Secret Vote means they feel the need to mislead their base.

Cowards and Liars, and some things I’m not allowed to say here.

So much for Matt Gaetz’s claim that they have the votes to oust Liz Cheney from leadership...


Well....makes it kinda hard with a secret vote and promises of CCP/all kinds of $$.

Like Bannon says ... the Rs are as owned as the Dems are.

Not a trade.
The vote on Greene is a full House vote and will be controlled by the Dems.
Will be interesting if any Dems at all go off the reservation on a public vote. I don’t expect that.

“So much for Matt Gaetz’s claim that they have the votes to oust Liz Cheney from leadership...”
Gaetz was correct. If the vote were an “on the record” public vote. So, “leadership” made it a secret vote so no one will know who voted which way. Providing cover for the RINO’s. The Swamp protects itself yet again.
One way around this disgusting secret vote would be for all who voted against her to come out and publicly declare this fact. Then, when the scum that voted for her are forced to come out and claim they did too and the numbers don’t align their treacherous hypocricy will be revealed.

Yes. As long as the politician is affiliated with a political party, the politician has to give a portion back to the party. That’s why Bernie is happy because as a commie, he gets to keep all donations.

They will redirect money from Conservative candidates and give it to the Liberals to spend wildly and win the Primaries.

They’re not going to let their POS fakes go down.

Scalise is another pissant that wants to crawl up Nancy’s butt.

It’s time to finally admit for good that we no longer have a place in the Republican Party. There is no reforming it. The Deep State forces that now control the GOP have a stranglehold on it.

Only Intelligent people see that though,

Most fall for the six week blitz when they claim they want to fight Biden and shoot guns on the weekend.

Like a bad Pro Wrestling Promo.

They literally have Trump’s photo on their homepage for fundraising,


LOL. China Mitch and Lizzie Cheney nowhere to be found. This would have made me mad before the steal. Now you just have to laugh at these swamp flim flam artists. I’m so looking forward to NOT voting GOP in 2022 outside of DeSantis.

“Follow the money.”

That’s the truth.
Cheneys paid for the votes in Congress. Everybody in
Leadership positions in both Parties do.
If one can dole out donor money one can be in Leadership.

Not always a bad thing. Does have it’s faults though.

Would be fun for a Member to call for a vote by the full House on Cheney’s Committee appointment (as happened to Greene).
It’s a ‘privileged’ motion so the House would have to vote publically on it. (Good way to get in deep trouble LOL!)

The only way they can the Lindsey McShame, McCarthy, Cheney leadership is if they lose a crapload of seats.

Losing by 10 is their goal. That’s where they want to be and they find it easiest to raise money when sniping about legislation the Dems are passing, that they really support, but need it for fundraising.

Louie Gomhert said on the radio that Leadership wants to use Bushies and Bush recommendations to rebuild.

What this tells me is we have a lot more RINOs to purge.

Target and destroy the 10 in the next primary.
