 ‘Can’t spend halftime in opponent’s locker room’: GOP push to oust Cheney, Kinzinger

Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs introduced a resolution aimed at removing Republican Reps. Liz Cheney, of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger, of Illinois, from the House GOP conference Tuesday morning, two lawmakers confirmed to The Post.

Biggs (R-Ariz.) pointed to Cheney and Kinzinger’s decision to accept Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) invitation to sit on the Jan. 6 select committee, which a sizable number of GOP lawmakers have alleged is politically motivated and skewed in Democrats’ favor.

Kinzinger and Cheney’s decision to buck party lines and serve on the panel has been met with sharp backlash from a number of their colleagues, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) going as far as referring to them as “Pelosi Republicans.” The call to oust them from the House GOP conference has been met with praise conservative hardliners.

“I am extremely supportive of Representative Biggs’ resolution, which he attempted to introduce today,” Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) said in a statement. “You can’t spend halftime in the opponent’s locker room and expect the team to welcome you back for the rest of the game. I hope the GOP Conference will seriously consider this.”

HoustonSam:
They should both be expelled from the House R conference and primaried.  If either wins re-election they should be denied committee assignments.

christian:
Cheney laughs at the fools that made excuses for her that got her as far as she has gone.  Deniers of truth/reality are killing this nation.

bilo:
It's now Wed. 7/28 are they still members of the Pub caucus?

Killer Clouds:
They should be expelled but RINO McCarthy doesn't have the balls to do the right thing.
