Kevin McCarthy tried to get Liz Cheney to apologize for voting to impeach former President Trump before last week's highly anticipated House GOP conference meeting — a request she refused, two people with direct knowledge told Axios.Cheney rolled the dice, refusing her leader's ask and counting on her supporters to keep her as conference chair, the party's No. 3 post in the House. Newly empowered, she's now embracing her role as the Republicans' Trump critic-in-chief.
Cheney's team, though, did a whip count, and she was confident she'd secure at least 142 votes, the sources said.Several members have asked me to apologize for the vote, they’ve asked my colleagues who also voted to impeach to apologize for the vote," Cheney told her colleagues. "I cannot do that. It was a vote of conscience. It was a vote of principle — a principle on which I stand and still believe."
Toward the end of last week's four-plus hour meeting, Cheney and members of the House Freedom Caucus demanded — for opposite reasons — that the conference take a vote. She ended up winning 145-61.On Monday, she'll hold a virtual fundraising event, according toNotable guests include former House Speaker John Boehner; Sara Bonjean, a GOP fundraiser and wife of former congressional leadership aide Ron Bonjean; former Florida Rep. Ilheana Ros-Lehtinen; and former George W.

Don't you dare apologize for having courage where they don't, it's better to stand up for what you believe in even if you stand alone.
Liz Cheney = Hero. Kevin McCarthy = QParty Leader.
She is a true American 🇺🇸 she has nothing to apologize for
I would have a very short response. F U!! You might want to apologize to the American people for NOT voting the way I did.

Never
I hope she told McCarthy to stick it.
Apologize for what? For calling out the liar, grifter, insurrectionist, and clown?
And no demands for ms space lasers?
RemoveMcCarthy
She has no need to apologize and she followed the Constitution and her responsibility as a member of Congress. McCarthy can stuff it.
What a prostitute he is.

And she basically told him to F off. I rarely agree with her but I'm 100% behind her on this and she's on the right side of history
