Liz Cheney Will Probably Survive but It Won't Mean What the Media Will Tell You It Means

Right now, Liz Cheney’s political career resembles a reanimated creature from an H. P. Lovecraft novel. It is quite dead yet is staggering about the landscape, unaware of that fact.
Cheney was one of that clique of NeverTrump members of the Republican caucus that sought to use their vote in favor of impeaching President Trump after he left office as a way of currying favor and acquiring political influence with Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats.
Far from achieving public acclaim for her strong statement demonstrating “muh principles,†her treachery (she blindsided House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy by not telling him in advance of her planned vote against the GOP conference she leads), she was repudiated by a unanimous vote of the Wyoming GOP (Liz Cheney Just Got Some Terrible News From Wyoming Republican Party) and has already drawn a formidable primary challenger. When the House Freedom Caucus started circulating a petition to demand a vote on stripping Cheney of her leadership position, political observers who had framed this as a media stunt were shocked when over half of the House GOP members signed on.
The next phase is a House Republican Conference meeting where a secret ballot will be taken that requires two-thirds of the members to vote to remove her.
