House Republicans Push to Oust Liz Cheney as Republican Conference Chair
By Liz Sheld • July 22, 2020
In recent days, there has been an all-out revolt against Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) by Republican members of the House of Representatives, who are now openly calling for her to step down as chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, as reported by Breitbart.
The conflict had been growing due to Cheney’s past statements in support of Dr. Anthony Fauci and demanding that people wear masks, in contradiction of President Donald Trump’s suggestions that masks remain voluntary rather than forced. But tensions came to a head in recent days after Cheney spearheaded an effort to have Congress override President Trump’s intentions of withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan.
After Cheney introduced a measure to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that explicitly prohibited the president from withdrawing forces from the Middle East, conservative Republicans led by the House Freedom Caucus began an open revolt against Cheney.
