House Republican Conference chair Rep. center, accompanied by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Calif., left, and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of La., speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill, Jan. 15, 2019, in Washington.
Cheney has not responded to McCarthy, but least one House Republican who joined Cheney and eight other House Republicans in voting to impeach Trump, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, went after House leadership on Monday and said Cheney is being run out of her post for only one reason: because she is consistent in her message and refuses to lie about the truth.
"She's being run out for one thing: her consistency. She said the same exact thing that Kevin McCarthy said on Jan. 6 which is Donald Trump is responsible," Kinzinger added.In addition to describing McCarthy as hypocritical, Kinzinger said he dismissed his own warnings about violence in the days ahead of Jan. 6.
"I was very disappointed when my party's leaders -- Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise in particular -- decided that winning the next election or winning the majority was more important than a clear-eyed recognition of what happened on Jan. 6," Kinzinger said."What happened on Jan. 6 is a lie led to violence.
"Any member can take whatever position they believe in," McCarthy said, denying Cheney's ousting was based on her criticisms of Trump."What we are talking about, it's a position in leadership. We are in one of our biggest battles ever for this nation and the direction of whether this century will be ours. As conference chair, you have the most critical jobs of the messenger going forward.
Rich coming from Mitt Romney!
At this point, any Republican’s in Senate or Congress, who oppose all that Trump stands for, should switch parties, support the Dems and strengthen the majority until Trump and his worshipers are gone. RepLizCheney RepKinzinger MittRomney SenatorRomney
Cost them mine , was a life long voting republican , not now
I agree with Mitt.
Yet he will remain In The party because in the end, he agrees with their Trump platform. He signed up for this.
Thank you Mitt for showing there’s still some pride left in the GOP
I know many Republicans that are done with the GQP.
You all have so much hate that you turn on yourselves. Lol!
she stud up 4 she belifs in is respektible in my onion but u caint just betray former pres kinda rude if u thik about it
So wis, Mitt!
Romney and Cheney are the last real Republicans. The current GOP has otherwise been captured by a cult of personality led by a populist demagogue. Conservatism is dead
While getting boo’d off stage like the coward he is.
As I've said before, it should have nothing to do with gaining or losing voters. It should have to do with doing the right thing. MittRomney
Thank you RINO-In-Chief, Mitt!
So sad. Some people rather cling to lies than the truth.
He don't know, Romney is out of touch with conservatives.
True that
Mitt that’s logical in your thinking, but that doesn’t work in the new GQP. Crazy is the what they’re going for. The Q.
Need to get his ass outta there too.
You are the smartest one in the cesspool.
Nice guy Mitt is in the wrong Party.
Mitt needs to be flushed.
GOP is the new radicalized group of US terrorists looking for nothing but to keep power. LeaderMcConnell admitted they have no other agenda but to be obstructionists. VoteThemAllOut2022
Mitt Romney’s first day at the Senate
“Truer words were never spoken.” Coming from Mitt Romney a man of God & someone who has the vision & foresight lacking in the Republican Party leadership under Kevin McCarthy , Mitch McConnell & Linsey Graham at the moment -:))
removing Romney will get you thousands.
The Republican Party needs to turn it's back on Trump and move forward. Holding onto the Big Lie is a threat to our Democracy. Let the Orange Man fade into obscurity! There are better times ahead with new leaders like Adam Kinzinger.
Well he’s wrong again
This from a guy that got booed off a stage in his own hometown.
This entire episode with Liz Cheney is demonstrating for the world to see who Trump’s real “losers and suckers” are - Republican politicians who are allowing him to control their party after all he has done to harm the United States.
A scene that cannot be described as a heartbreaking scene of a Palestinian child bidding farewell to his father, who was martyred due to the Israeli bombing of Gaza. Goodbye, Abi God, it is easy for you. He lost his father forever.
mbrom999 Good. Get all the authoritarian clowns in one place. Weed out the old fashioned supply side right wingers then vote the former out of existence.
Mit needs to go next.
