A Majority Of House GOPers Want To Oust Cheney From Leadership After Impeachment Vote

[Zorro]

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is staring down just over a majority of House Republicans who support toppling the No. 3 House Republican from leadership after she voted to impeach now-former President Trump for inciting a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.

According to reporting from Politico, at least 107 House Republicans have communicated to the leaders of that effort that they would support removing Cheney from leadership on a secret ballot, while others have threatened boycotting future conference meetings if she remains in power.

The intensifying campaign against Cheney, who called her decision to impeach Trump a “vote of conscience,” signals that Trump’s ideological stronghold on the party continues to echo in the chamber since his departure from office on Wednesday.

Multiple GOP sources involved in the effort told the publication that after voting to impeach Trump last week, the highest-ranking woman in the House GOP put herself in hot water — risking not only her leadership but also facing a primary challenge from state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, and angering some of her Wyoming constituents. A local county Republican Party in Wyoming unanimously agreed to censure Cheney last weekend over her impeachment vote. The Wyoming GOP had previously put out a statement that essentially combed the party’s inbox and relayed angry messages aimed at Cheney after her support for impeaching Trump.

This is getting good.

"I'm not saying Cheney is in trouble, but Lauren Boebert is tweeting out her current location..."

Invite other Repuke colleagues to go with her.

4. They let her into the he-man woman haters club

and then she went and disagreed with them. LOL.

5. I have detested the Cheneys for so long it pains me to have even a bit of sympathy for her now.

sigh... But, compared to the rest representing Wyoming (all RWers, of course), she actually looks to be the sanest.

6. Shows she hurt them.

With any luck, Republicans will oust all these yahoos from their party. Dems will run things fine while Republicans sort things out and send their kooks back to the attic.
