Well that was quick. Donald Trump must be smiling ear to ear. He is no longer in office, but his lies are still costing people their jobs and roles in office. Donald Trump is the anvil around the neck of the Republican party, and they have just proven that they are more concerned about upholding his lies, than defending the truth.
Although there are absolutely no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, Trump has spread his lies and spineless Republicans fell in line, even stumbled over themselves to propagate Trump’s lies to the best of their ability.
Liz Cheney was different. She stood up and spoke the truth about that happened in the 2020 elections and the Trump inspired insurrection that happened on January 6th, and for that, Republicans have kicked her out of her leadership role in Congress. And they did it in almost record time.
It took the fractured GOP Conference fewer than 20 minutes to remove Cheney from her role as the No. 3 House Republican, including time spent on prayer and the pledge of allegiance.
House Republicans made the decision to remove her by voice vote rather than a full tally, which means it is not yet clear the exact degree of support for her ouster. Cheney was steadfast exiting the closed meeting where her colleagues voted her out of leadership, maintaining her stance on Trump’s lies.
“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” she told reporters. She said Wednesday’s vote is a clear indication of the path that the GOP is on as a party, tethered to Trump, and sent a warning to Republicans “we cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.”
