Liz Cheney Out as Leader in House Republican

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.”

Liz Cheney To Drop Out of Wyoming Senate Race

WASHINGTON — Liz Cheney intends to withdraw from the Wyoming Republican Senate primary, according to two sources familiar with her plans, bringing an abrupt end to her unsteady challenge to the incumbent, Michael B. Enzi.

Ms. Cheney, 47, the former vice president’s elder daughter, is expected to drop out of the race this week, citing family reasons. She did not respond to emails and phone calls late Sunday.

Since declaring her candidacy in July against Mr. Enzi, a well-liked, three-term Senate veteran, Ms. Cheney not only never found traction but also wound up causing deep rifts among longtime friends and even within her own family.

Her task was always going to be difficult. Unlike some of the other sitting Republican senators who have been challenged in primaries in recent years, Mr. Enzi has a solidly conservative voting record and did not present the sort of vulnerabilities Ms. Cheney could exploit. But Ms. Cheney never was able to focus much on her opponent, spending much of her five-month candidacy fending off distractions to her campaign.

Crazy Liz Cheney Accused Obama of Abandoning A Country That Doesn’t Exist

Liz Cheney repeated the falsehood that President Obama has apologized to our enemies and abandoned Czechoslovakia, which hasn’t existed since 1992.

During a panel on ABC’s This Week, host Jake Tapper asked the daughter of the former vice president if she agreed with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s assertion that [President] Obama was “sympathizing” with the people who attacked the U.S. embassy in Libya and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans.

“I think he did get it right,” Cheney insisted. “We’ve now had three and a half years of Obama policy and it looks an awful lot like — whether you’re talking about the Mexico City speech in 2009, the Cairo Speech in 2009, the extent to which he’s been apologizing for America, he’s abandoned some of our key allies like Israel, Poland, Czechoslovakia. He’s attempted to appease our enemies, the Iranians, for example, the Russians. … The president himself has got a terrible record on national security, and it’s clearly something that Gov. Romney ought rightly to be pushing.”

“Terrible record on national security?”  Not quite.
