House conservatives are renewing their calls for Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to step down from her leadership post after she split with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) over whether former President Trump should speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
House Freedom Caucus members are going after Cheney, chair of the House Republican Conference, following an awkward moment during a press conference Wednesday with the House GOP leader. Just moments after McCarthy said he thought Trump should speak at the CPAC gathering this weekend in Florida, Cheney reiterated her position that she does not think the former president should have a place in the Republican Party because of his role in the deadly insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
"That was one of the most outrageous statements, but it's consistent with at least four other statements she's made in the last few weeks. As you know, some of us in this group led a charge to remove Ms. Cheney as the chairwoman leader of the Republican conference. I do not believe she is able to carry that out any further," House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said at a press conference on Thursday.
"I also think she's absolutely devoid of any kind of political reading of what's going on in the Republican Party in this country right now," he added. "My guess is there's probably no room in the party for somebody who takes the positions that Ms. Cheney does and that makes the accusations that she does. She should step down - if she had any sense of shame, she would step down."

Liz needs to go live in her BiXiden Basement.
I emailed Fox this morning and told them Liz Cheney just committed political suicide on TV.
She represents No One beyond [0bama-land ] Teton County, Wyo.
A Pox upon her.
I don’t understand how she thinks Trump’s movement is over.
She knows it. At this point she’s just angling for a CNN gig.
She’s a fool. A better strategy for her would have been to ignore Trump. After all he is no longer President and is just a private citizen.
But now she has made herself a lightning rod.
Yes, that's the only thing that makes sense at this point. She's toast, politically.
She chose....poorly.
In those comments ,she was just as guilty as inciting a riot as the President was on Jan 6th.
If the measure of what is protected free speech and what is not, is simply that someone disagrees, then she’s guilty of insurrection.
“Hang her, she’s a witch!”
Good to see conservatives getting aggressive for a change, but they need to turn up the heat in her home district.
The Ego does many insane things.
CPAC should invite her and Trump both and we’ll all see which one of them gets booed off the stage.
So true. This isn’t the party of her old man. She needs to understand that and adapt. Resistance is futile...
To be perfectly objective, I wonder how many of these CPAC people demanding she step down where the same “Tea Party” people who cheered on her carpetbagging into Wyoming in the first place and screamed about what an awesome anti-establishment fighter she would be? If so, it’s hard to feel sorry for them now. Be careful what you wish for...you may get it!
I predict she's toast, unless she pulls an incumbent fast one.
Cancel Liz.
She’s toast already.

Cheney sounds like any other Dem with her canned talking points.
Liz is “from” Teton County, Wyo. an 0bama stronghold.
Think Jackson Hole Resort....
