Susan Collins Takes a Baseball Bat to Liz Cheney's Knees
By Bonchie | May 10, 2021 9:45 PM ET

The vote to officially remove Liz Cheney from Republican leadership has been scheduled for this Wednesday following weeks of unrest within the party. Reading the tea leaves, it doesn’t appear there’s much of a chance the Wyoming representative survives this time around. Many of the House members who voted in her favor months ago have switched sides, fed up with Cheney’s stubborn refusal to stop handing fodder to the left.

Now, in a surprising development, Sen. Susan Collins has taken a baseball bat to Liz Cheney’s knees, rhetorically speaking at least.


You’d expect someone like Collins to come to Cheney’s aid. That she’s not doing so speaks volumes. There is simply no real coalition out there for Cheney’s brand of neoconservative globalism, not even among Republicans who value decorum the most.

It should alarm us that Stefanik has 'a more moderate voting record'.

Conservatives do not want someone who voted against Trump's tax cuts, or to stay in the Paris accords, or who endorse the LGBQT agenda as Stefanik has.

Not following this closely, so I wonder if there is a more conservative replacement choice than the NY "moderate"?  Find out later today, I reckon.

That's a "baseball bat?"  That's not even a wiffle ball bat.

What does conservatism have to do with the  GOP?  It's a cult of personality.

Even if true to some extent, that is better than the Dems Commie cult.

Wet noodle, maybe.

Stefanik is a NY RINO.
