Democrats and Establishment Republicans Support Liz Cheney to Retain GOP Conference Chair
Wendell Husebo 4 May 2021
Democrats and establishment Republicans are supporting Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to retain the House Republican Conference Chair position amid House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stating Tuesday Cheney is not “carrying out the message.”
“I have heard from members, concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair, to carry out the [Republican] message,” McCarthy told Fox News in reference to the Republicans’ focus on putting America first.
Democrats immediately joined establishment Republicans in defending Cheney’s family-like style of big government politics.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) praised “Lynne Cheney” for her “courage” and “patriotism” Tuesday after releasing a press statement insinuating Cheney is a threatening female to Republicans. Pelosi apparently forgot Liz Cheney’s first name.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) tweeted Tuesday his support for Cheney, condoning her impeachment vote of former President Trump, who received votes totaling roughly 70 percent of Wyoming’s 2020 electorate.
“Every person of conscience draws a line beyond which they will not go…,” Romney said.
