House Republicans voted to allow Rep. Liz Cheney to keep her leadership role within the chamber after she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last month.
GOP lawmakers voted 145-61 in favor of keeping Cheney as House Republican Conference Chair -- the third highest-ranking party position in the chamber -- in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday night, NBC News reported. Cheney did not apologize for her decision to join nine other Republican members of the House in voting to impeach Trump on charges that he incited an insurrection when he delivered a speech to his supporters before they stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6.

Nothing like trying to be a successful team when some team members refuse to block for their teammates or to tackle the opponents. And then, the republicans decide to keep these kind of people in a leadership role. Primary the traitors in 2022.

She gets rejected by the people she's sent there to represent, but the swamp loves her. Defending and keeping Marjorie is not a handout to US. Can we now know that Kevin McCarthy is not one of US, along with 143 others in there? If they're not already swamp, they're auditioning for a position in the swamp. We have no representation in Washington. Anyone still banking on 2022?

Republi-Can't Party, meet the final nail in your coffin!!!!
Don't get me wrong. I will still gladly vote for solid conservative candidates that run as Republicans. But I will donate directly to their campaigns. Never another penny to the impotent, useless, swamp creatures in the Republi-Can't Party!!!!!
And I will never vote for another RINO, because I know they are clearly just as evil as Demon-Rats!!!!! There is no "lesser" of the two evils when a RINO runs against a Demon-Rat. Just a large load of stinky putrid feces no matter who wins!!!

The republican party has lost it's mind!!! Did y'all forget... 75 million voters who voted to return Donald Trump to the presidency and now, the majority of our elected officials (the republican party) votes to keep in leadership a swamp creature who voted to IMPEACH the man we just voted for... what in the world are they thinking!!! I am no longer rolling over - it's time for the Trump family to lead a new party - maybe the Save America party - I'm done with the swamp republicans... done!

Somebody tell me why, when push comes to shove, the Republican Party follows Democrat lead. Why do they do that? The Republican Party MUST establish themselves as a viable alternative to the Democrats for all the people out there that disagree with them, but they don't. Why is that? What use is the Republican Party? Why should I vote for them?

The Holy Spirit has left the Republican Party. But since they were never Christians they never had the Holy Spirit anyway. They are filled with the spirit of evil greed immortality selfishness dishonesty carnality and they are sealed to suffer doom. They are NOT my party from this day forward. You can’t fix something that’s broke with something that’s broke. Reforming the party will never work. Remember that. The powers that be will do everything they can to kill a new third party based on God, love of Country and adherence to our constitution and bill of rights as written.

In the words of the great Samuel Goldwyn: "Gentlemen, include me out."

One thing is clear McCarthy: You and the rnc are "united" in not representing your constituents. You are united with the person who completely disrespected the most popular president in rnc history.not to mention the voters of Wyoming. Uniparty. That's all that needs to be said.

Let the voters of Wyoming deal with her. Do you want to die on this hill when only a united Party in Congress will have any clout, any hope of beating back the leftist onslaught?
The Left is counting on a fractured opposition. We must not give them what they want.
Support those who are fighting FOR the Republic in whatever way we can. Fight against the Dem/Left at every level possible (letters to editors, town meetings, financial, etc).
Note how the Left dominates the "commanding heights of culture", the entertainment-media complex. Stay on the alert.
Keep your eye on the ball! Never give up.

There were reasons why the Pilgrims left to settle in another country with the primary reason being they just were not welcome. It is a big world out there that is quite unlike what the Western Media propagandists portray it as. The mask of the GOP has finally been tossed aside to reveal the true nature of those who control the agenda of the party. Be honest, Bush Sr and Bush Jr did nothing to improve this country with the possible exception of acting as speed bumps on the domestic slide towards complete submission to the Elite by getting us involved in two useless and pointless wars. The nomination of McCain and Romney were acts of fraud for we saw the true colors of both men after they lost (which we should all be very thankful). Let them continue to protect their own and do nothing for this country, Rely on yourself and your family and be prepared to perhaps make the most difficult decisions you have ever made. And it probably would not hurt to truly connect with God not only for your mortal being but your immortal soul as well.

Well done, Sanchin, #27, and definitely connect with God.
He promised, ‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Be strong and of good courage,’ Joshua 1. [Even Columbus studied this.]
He is our only hope... ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.’
As did Patrick Henry, Red Hill VA,
‘Give me liberty or give me death.’
Those who may doubt, read Revelation, [and respectfully suggest, from the ‘MacArthur Study Bible’.]
Revelation 1:3... ‘read and you will be blessed.’

What more does the Republican leadership have to do to make us understand they don’t care what we want or think? We are like a battered wife who keeps crawling back to her abuser. Face it, we have no representation in Washington. A few talk the talk and some even walk it, but as we see voter after vote, they despise us and treat us no differently than the democrats treat minorities. Wake up! Support conservative candidates directly if you still believe elections are free and fair, but do not vote for your own destruction by supporting any Republican.

I want names who voted for her. We in PA are going after our state legislators and cleaning house in 2022. We need to do the same in the U.S. House and Senate. We put our representatives there and we can remove them. Kevin McCarthy had a secret vote because he is no better than Paul Ryan and John Boehner. I say California, primary this idiot.

The BASE who voted republican, will be leaving the party in droves every time the cowardly entrenched RINOs do not stand up to do the right thing.
The corruption inside the upper echelons of the party who protects themselves and are virtually totally DISCONNECTED from the BASE at the national level will hasted the creation of a 3rd party.
Every day we see more and more evidents that we have been taken for a ride and thrown away like a used Kleenex because we are not tied into the 'leadership'.

The GOPe hasn't yet figured out that it's a dead man walking. It's like one of the Star Wars Imperial Walkers where the inner workings have been shot out and it's taking its last few steps before falling over dead, so to speak.

Well, it looks like the Voters in WY think otherwise! They have already Censured her and have rallied their Republican Parties in that state. They have had their own meetings and taken their own votes on Cheney. They found she LOST every time! She already has a Primary challenger. The Party will back that person!! Cheney can have all the big money backing her in 2022, but the voters are going to call her home! They were disgusted at what she SAID about our PARTY'S President and how she chose to vote for his Impeachment! SHE was a Disgrace, not Donald Trump! We need to rid our party of ALL the Bushies and RINOS! That should start in 2022!

So much for transparency. However, we do now know that the GOP House has only 61 Conservatives and 145 moderates and RINOs. I expect the same ratio in the Senate. This explains how Kevin and Mitch got their (lack of) leadership roles. As a Conservative, I cannot continue with a Party that undermines most of my beliefs. Just like organized religion, organized politics are a detriment to society. My Church is non-denominational and now my political Party is also. Have a blessed day folks.

Well then that helps us plan for the primaries now doesn't it. Pick your path my friends, fight both the GOP and the Chinacrats at the same time or defeat the GOP first and then move on to fight the Chinacrats.
Trump only won(twice) because of a level of unity between the legacy GOP and the fervent Patriot constitutional class. What a damned shame those are not one in the same.

Cheney will get renominated unless WY conservatives UNITE behind one candidate. These RINOs slip in because the conservative vote is fractured among multiple candidates, and the RINO wins with less than 50% of the vote.

Wyoming uses Dominion, ES&S, and another newer "electronic" voting system called DRE (Direct Recording Electronic) so it looks like Liz Cheney will win in 2022. I hope I'm wrong.

Well by now if you have been paying attention you should know the the wimpy establishment Republicans are usually always going to support a wimpy Republican member who steps in it. Of course that does not apply to independent conservatives that the Republican establishment cannot control, and absolutely anything got to do with Trump. In that respect it has been the establishment Republicans who have been the most substantial covert political enemies working against Trump since he was elected.
