House Republicans ousted Rep. Liz Cheney Wednesday morning in a closed-door vote from the No. 3 spot from leadership — but the Wyoming Republican remained defiant on the way out.
“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” Cheney said after the vote. “We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it’s very important that we make sure whomever we elect, is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution.”

From the Desk of Donald J. Trump
Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party. She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country. She is a talking point for Democrats, whether that means the Border, the gas lines, inflation, or destroying our economy. She is a warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our Great Military, the worst decision in our Country’s history. I look forward to soon watching her as a Paid Contributor on CNN or MSDNC!

WASHINGTON (AP) — A combative Rep. Liz Cheney lashed out at leaders of her own Republican Party late Tuesday, accusing former President Donald Trump and his GOP supporters of following a path that would “undermine our democracy.”
On the eve of a closed-door meeting when House Republicans seem certain to oust her from a leadership post because of her clashes with the former president, Cheney, R-Wyo., took to the House floor to state her case.
“I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy,” Cheney said.
She did not mention party leaders by name. But House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and No. 2 House Republican Steve Scalise, R-La., have called for her removal after she repeatedly rejected Trump’s false claim that he lost the November election due to widespread fraud, and for his role in encouraging supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“Today, we face threat America has never seen before,” she told the nearly empty House chamber. “A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol, in an effort to steal the election, has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him. He risks inciting further violence.”
Top Republicans have asserted their chief objection has been that as No. 3 House GOP leader, Cheney should be focusing on messages that would help the party win House control in next year’s elections, not on internal party divisions over the former president.

“… accusing former President Donald Trump and his GOP supporters of following a path that would “undermine our democracy.”
So please explain to me how throwing out a socialist, mascaraing as a conservative, can possibly undermine democracy. Socialism (which only leads to communism) is diametrically opposed to democracy. What I don’t understand is how it made it through the first vote. Mr. Trump won (both times) because voters grew tired of the socialist light old school GOP ‘leadership’.
A Fourth party??? How well is the third party doing?? Chaney is riding on her fathers “coattails”, and that ride is coming to an end. Being placed in the role of “helping people”, is voted on by the people, and that person is elected to speak for the area and its people. She has a one mind thought and that is for “SELF” and what she see profitable for her… There’s SO MANY, in Congress, that are on the same road, The SELF, road. Cleaning out the SWAMP is a hard road, but we had a good start, but the “UNDER tow of lies and corruption, cut the run. NOW is the time for the PEOPLE to SEE and HEAR the lies and bring the corruption to the light and Take Back Our REPUBLIC!!!!
Great place for all the RINOs, half-a – – Republicans,and Cheney, but have they considered that a split would give the liberal-socialist a far better chance for re-election in 2022 and 2024. Hang in an make the Republican party stronger, not weaker, and in 2024, things will be a whole lot different looking. He has a right at this point to head the Republican party but three and a half years from now, things can be different.
Time to show the RINOS the door!
I spent quite a long time writing and it was removed so here I am again!!……Ms Cheney you are a traitor to the country and so is the Democratic party! You all want this nation to be communist and all people subjugated to a one party system,…the Democrats! That is horrible, when one looks at how our nation was founded and fought to build the best nation in the world! Now only to be where we are today on the brink of a Civil War and WWIII….if anyone had a decent mind in the Dems, they would sit down with the Republicans and ALL get this country united gain under the Constitution, the other documents we were founded on, under ONE God as we were founded on and for!!!! But Dems take religion for granted, our heritage and freedom too and think they can do as they wish within supposed faith in God or is it faith in the Catholic church?– like Pathetic Pelosi and Bubble Biden are! These two think what God has to say is not important, that they can do as they wish to this country and us but still be a part of Gods world..HA! BOY are some of you going to witness such a blast one day!!!!! Wake up and be patriots again before this nation is blown off the face of the earth thanks to your idiocy, because the lefter Dems all side with our enemies and play footsy in things they know nothing about!! They will kill YOU Dems as easily as anyone else..you have NO favor! God Bless America again and make the Dems shape up or ship them to hell where they belong!
It was a very smart thing to remove Cheney from any leadership rolls. The next best thing to happen is the ppl of WY vote her out of politics. The GOP has been screwed over by Democrats false stories and crooked ways of business and don’t need any RINO’s to add to their problems. There are several in Congress and the Senate that need to be unemployed and hopefully ppl will vote them out in 2022.
LEt’s hope and pray, that not only do the good folk in Wyoming vote her out of office, but the SAME happens in utah with romney, and every other state with their RINOS..
Voted out, now finish the job and throw her out of the party. She is not a conservative, let alone even a republican (socialist light).
