BREAKING: House GOP ousts Rep. Liz Cheney from leadership job, punishing a Trump critic who rebuked his election fraud falsehoods.

In this April 20, 2021, photo, House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., speaks to reporters following a GOP meeting at the Capitol in Washington. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has set a Wednesday vote for removing Cheney from her No. 3 Republican leadership post after Cheney repeatedly challenged former President Donald Trump over his claims of widespread voting fraud and his role in encouraging supporters' Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

“Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” she said, adding, “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.”who entered the House in 2015 at age 30, then the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.

Seemingly conceding that the numbers were against her, Cheney made no discernible effort to cement support ahead of Wednesday’s vote, several Republicans said. Cheney arrived in Congress in 2017 with a well-known brand as an old-school conservative, favoring tax cuts, energy development and an assertive use of U.S. power abroad. By November 2018 she was elected to her current leadership job unopposed and seemed on an ambitious pathway, potentially including runs at becoming speaker, senator or even president.

Her words — and her pre-vote announcement, which allowed Democrats to cite her opposition during the debate — infuriated many House conservatives.

Good

We love evil on evil infighting don't we folks.

It’s funny that all of these liberals in the comments think that the GOP cares about what they think in regards to this decision 😂

The fight for democracy is only beginning. Elections have consequences. The movement against Trumpism must continue. VOTE.

More like: Liz Cheney, who continues to focus on President Trump despite him not holding a political office because of her personal vendetta against him for embarrassing her father as an unsuccessful VP, is told in order to be a leader you need to focus on other things

TarheelKrystle bye bye! take your democratic ass over to the left!

They’re just turning her into a martyr

She's standing on the right side of history.

That’s bullshit

Republicans are proving they are absolutely trying to ruin our democracy and believe they can lie and cheat their way to the top. Why? Because that the mood of America, you and Inare no better, this country needs a wake up call!

The Republican Party seriously needs to do some soul searching

so it begins....

Shame

War criminal gets ousted. Anyone mad at this is extremely sus

Cancel culture?!? Bwahahahahahaha! The party of angry, delusional, selfish white dudes....good luck!

Morning_Joe Her real mistake was that she supported Donald 99.99% of the time and now she is paying the price for it.

Yeah so which Democrat is going to be president in 2024 because, uh, well there’s like not a Republican Party

My party is becoming a party of chicken shits. Voice vote to hide members from a public record of their vote.

Ironic, supporters of the illegal occupant in the oval office who is a cheat fraud and thief, is using 'we must speak the truth' to cover a big LIE! RepLizCheney is a DNC mole and a JoeBiden asset in the gop . She MUST be kicked out of her leadership role!

Falsehoods? Lololol yall will say anything these days
