House Republicans voted to allow Rep. Liz Cheney to keep her leadership role within the chamber after she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last month.
GOP lawmakers voted 145-61 in favor of keeping Cheney as House Republican Conference Chair — the third highest-ranking party position in the chamber — in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday night, NBC News reported.
Cheney did not apologize for her decision to join nine other Republican members of the House in voting to impeach Trump on charges that he incited an insurrection when he delivered a speech to his supporters before they stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6.
Prior to the vote, Cheney issued a statement saying Trump “summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack” adding that “there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

During the meeting, Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania who said that Cheney “aided and comforted the enemy” while Rep. Darryl Issa of California asked if she would take similar action if she was allowed to maintain her leadership role, CNN reported.
Cheney, however, received support from both House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and Whip Steve Scalise.
“People can have differences of opinion that is what we are having a discussion about. Lis has a right to vote her conscience. At the end of the day, we will be united,” McCarthy said after the meeting.

She betrays their party leader during a sham impeachment and they are like “Oh well, she is a nice person”. And they wonder why they call the Republican Party the Stupid Party…. Unbelievable.
More and more, they prove us, NOT A SINGLE ******* one of them, is worthy of retaining in office…
“Liz has a right to vote her conscience”. Yep, Republicans In Name Only, who are worthless to the American people, have ‘a right to vote their conscience”, right Liz and you Republicans In Name Only. How do you RINOS, spell the word “traitors” to the American people, by “voting your conscience” or is it you have lost your “consciousness”?
So only commucrats and rinos, get to ‘vote their conscience’. ALL Others must tote the party line.
This is a massive mistake, she should have been removed from all committees. There is no such thing as “Republican Leadership”, there is only Republican Cowardice.
Right now, you couldn’t PAY me enough, to ever vote for a single one of these so-called republicans, ever again… PERIOD.
She is BS. The GOP is BS. Americans are now going to suffer what the Dem party wants.
Liz Cheney, the great team player from the great state of “Why Own Me”,,,bought and paid for by the RINO Internationalist establishment consortiums who always get what they pay for, who own Cheney and her vote, lock, stock and shotgun barrel. She is about to find out what leadership is all about, which is merely getting the job done through your people, and giving them the credit when due, not trying to upend four years of their labors, by knee capping the former coach and trying to steal his retirement when he leaves office. Her letterman’s sweater holds a large “D”, right across the chest, to prove which team she actually plays for, whose deep convictions reveal it to be her obvious deep state wishes to convict Donald Trump of Jay walking if it prevents him from running again. Read your Constitution Liz, and you would see you cannot impeach a man after he leaves office, or even your father could become a target.
“House Republicans voted to allow Rep. Liz Cheney to keep her leadership role within the chamber after she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last month.”
W.T.F.? Am I supposed to Trust and Support this swamp Republican Party??
I Don’t think so.
How do you call yourself the number 3 ranking of the Republican leadership, when only 10 followed her impeachment lead and 197 went the other way? I guess these days a 4-5% following grants you the keys to the Republican kingdumb. Yes, If she is leading the Republican charge of the lightweight brigade, their is not to reason why, theirs is but to do and die. If this is the best of the best we can put up to resist Pelosi’s cimes, we might as well surrender and save us the cost of running for elections in 2022.
Just another RINO courtesy of her Dad Dick Cheney. She has little to no support from her state of Wyoming and is a warmonger as God calls them. Profiting from the wars American’s sons, daughters fight in. These never ending wars. They are insatiable in their greed for money. Eisenhower warned Americans of the Military Industrial Complex. And they keep America fighting in wars that literally go on for decades.
COMMENT
Right on the money Blubird,
Unless the the scum in the Republican party can be removed they will have no to little chance of any power.
And right now, i just don’t see ANY WAY TO remove that scum…
No big surprises here, I expected as much from the party of betrayal and failure .
I forget when i saw it, on this site.. BUT i remember someone commenting that ‘for years he’s seen the republicans fail time after time, when in power but when out, whine and whine that they were NOT in power, give us it back please’.. ALMOST LIKE THEY DON’T WANT TO actually have the strings, as then THEY WOULD HAVE TO actually PRODUCE good results..
Back when i saw it, i didn’t really think much about it.. BUT now, it seems whom ever said that, was spot the hell on.
In America today, there are two justice systems, two financial systems, and two political systems….. one system for the elites (where they can do whatever the hell they want without any consequences whatsoever), and the other one for the masses, where punishments come swift and hard.
And if they get their way, there’s gonna be a third..
ONE FOR rich elites
One for demonrat voters
One for conservatives..
One more nail in the coffin.
I have notified both National Republican Senate Committee and National Republican Committee that as long as there is support for the continuance of RINO traitors along with patriot Republicans, they will get no donations from me. More of you should also do that. Also we should do the same with Winred, if they continue t help RINO traitors such as Romney. I have donated to Marjorie Greene, and will send small donations to primary challengers against Cheney and the creep in MI who voted to impeach. You should also do things like this. Do more than complain to0 each other, in a more effective way to make our voices heard.
