FILE - In this April 22, 2021, file photo, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Calif., speaks during his weekly press briefing on Capitol Hill in Washington. McCarthy is leading his party to an inflection point. House Republicans are preparing to dump Rep. Liz Cheney from the No. 3 leadership position. If so, McCarthy will have transformed what’s left of the party of Lincoln more decisively into the party of Trump.
McCarthy, R-Calif., made the remarks Monday in a letter to Republican lawmakers that did not mention Cheney, R-Wyo., or former President Donald Trump by name.Cheney seems all but certain to be tossed from the No. 3 House GOP job after repeatedly challengingpinning his November reelection defeat on widespread voting fraud. She has also criticized his role in inciting his supporters’ attack on the Capitol on Jan.
“If we are to succeed in stopping the radical Democratic agenda from destroying our country, these internal conflicts need to be resolved so as to not detract from the efforts of our collective team,” McCarthy wrote. “Having heard from so many of you in recent days, it’s clear that we need to make a change. As such, you should anticipate a vote on recalling the Conference Chair this Wednesday.”Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.
The backlash against Cheney underscores the fealty to Trump among Republican leaders, particularly in the House, despite his role in inciting the Capitol riot and his recitation of baseless claims of election cheating. Dozens of state and local officials and judges of both political parties found no evidence that voting last fall was marred by significant fraud.
😡 Despicable, Spineless, Lemming! 😡
McCarthy what has happened to you. Cheney did nothing wrong but to speak up to take correct action.
If I ever see even a fairly close semblance of the Republican party I used to belong to, I might be back, but it will take a huge shift and many repentant people for that to happen. It's very hard to see getting there from here.
No chance to moderate the Dems while the tRumpians flounder following the washed up insurrection leading traitor. who are the savior to step up turn the flock towards real respectable conservative positions that can succeed? McConaughey?
Thou shalt not say the Donald's name in vain
For not backing one person? Is the GOP now a cult?
No one in the GOP speaks freely anymore. Everyone's told to toe the party line instead of doing what's best for the country and their constituents...or else. Thanks Liz_Cheney for standing up.
Cheney, Kinzinger and others that have finally seen the light that the GQP is not their party should go independent. They can then vote on the merit of a bill.
The radicalization Cheneys started is now complete , we’ve reached a milestone in the GOP destruction timeline. Bravo 👏 republicans
Cheney should switch parties if they kick her out. And take all the people who voted to keep her. She would never go blue, but become Independent. They would s**t their pants. 😂
OustMcCarthy
Better men have been crushed by Dick Chaney.
What about Marjorie Greene first
I heard she was a Republican in public and a Democrat behind closed doors some of her colleagues probably know it
How do people like him exist in 2021. We haven’t advanced as a society! They are now emboldened to be themselves. To lie and cheat! To boldly be racist narcissistic and sex traffickers! How does this end?
These Republicans are really fucked up!!!
RepLizCheney is too conservative now for GOP? 🤦🏼♂️
GOP cancel culture.0
Hope this galvanizes all Republican Women with scruples to vote against this corrupt party.
