Liz Cheney’s was a moment of real stature. Addressing the issue of impeachment, the third-ranking member of the Republican leadership said, of the events of Jan. 6: “The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the president. The president could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not.
And so she would vote to impeach. Her remarks implicitly urged others in her party to do so, and the bluntness and power of what she said offered them cover: They could be tough too. But most couldn’t. They were stupid and cowardly. They claimed high-minded concern for the nation’s well-being, but they didn’t seem to believe their own arguments; some rushed through their statements, some gestured wildly as if hoping their arms could convince their brains they were sincere.They weren’t concerned about division when they refused to accept the Electoral College result.The president’s term is expiring; those who need more time to understand what happened on 1/6 don’t want to understand it.
Ms. Cheney’s stand seemed brought by conviction, and given that she is the only woman in the House Republican leadership, took some guts: She operates within an environment that is dumb, male and clubby. She courted danger by giving them more reason to want to suppress her down the road. They didn’t wait for down the road. Rep. Jim Jordan quickly announced she should be stripped of her leadership position. Others showed up on Hannity to drum up momentum. Having a GOP House leader vote for impeachment is “untenable,” Rep. Matt Gaetz said, showing he knows the word untenable.

opinion PeggyNoonan Demystify involves a level of complexity I don't believe is necessary to purge Trumpism from our government. Trump amplified the 'get a bigger hammer' mentality. We just need to let the adults take back the conversation and push the disrupters to the card table in the den.

opinion PeggyNoonan By supporting a Tyrant until the very end?
opinion PeggyNoonan It's always been easy to demystify Trump. Republicans merely needed to actually disagree or prove him wrong now and then. His power with his base is built on the idea that he is infallible. Trump could have been de-fanged years ago if Republicans had any adherence to the truth.
opinion PeggyNoonan Donald Trump defeated by the media, but dont forget that he got the highest votes after Biden throughout the history !
opinion PeggyNoonan these republicans are in for a world of hurt. They had 2 years with majorities and did essentially nothing, then they hardly fought when dems had the house. Trumps base is still very strong in the party and if DC GOP think they are going to erase that, they have bad news comin

opinion PeggyNoonan Lololol guess you hadn't met any trump superfans before. They aren't going anywhere and they are going to hold the GOP underwater until it drowns. A party can't lose 30% of its base and survive.
