Liz Cheney Keeps Making This Worse on Herself

Rebecca Downs Rebecca Downs May 05, 2021 
 
As Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the chair of the House Republican Conference, keeps finding herself in the news, it appears inevitable that the vote to oust her from this leadership role is fast approaching. She has turned out to be her own worst enemy on this as she lashes out against the GOP, especially former President Donald Trump. The Washington Post published her op-ed on Wednesday, "Liz Cheney: The GOP is at a turning point. History is watching us." 

Coverage to do with Rep. Cheney's political future, or lack thereof, is full of members, named and unnamed, sharing that she will likely lose her leadership title. Perhaps the most thoughtful perspective, a rather simple one, is that what happens to Liz Cheney is up to Liz Cheney. 

Over the weekend, when the congresswoman was finding herself increasingly in the news, I reported on the take that Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) had, the chair of the Republican Study Committee. He told Axios when asked if Cheney will still have her position in a month that "I don't know" and "That's up to her. I think a lot of us would like to see her join the team, be on the same team, same mission, the same focus. And at this point, that’s what many of us are questioning."...........To Read More....

Here are past links going back to when Chaney's posturing first became an issue:
 
Liz Cheney, emboldened - February 8, 2021 By Monica Showalter - Fresh from controversy — and GOP censure — for her sparsely followed vote on impeachment, House Republican Conference leader Rep. Liz Cheney is putting some new plans on the table for Getting Trump.  Speaking on Chris Wallace's Fox News show, she suggested that the impeachment vote wasn't enough.  Now she's joining the Democrats to look for criminal prosecution of President Trump............

Chaney vs. Green: Republican Leadership is, at the Best of Times, A Leaky Vessel - By Rich Kozlovich  February 5, 2021 - Over the last few days there’s been a lot of fury in the Congress over the actions of some of it's members. First we had many Republicans who were outraged at Rep. Liz Cheney for voting in support of impeaching former President Trump, a clearly unconstitutional action. The Congress has no authority to try anyone for anything, especially a former sitting President of the United States.  The Congress can only remove him from office.  

If a former POTUS has committed a crime during his time in office or after, that is the responsibility of the executive branch. If ever there was a posted child for political nepotism, it's Liz Chaney.  Her family spent their lives in Washington, she has to know the Congress has no Constitution authority here, how can she not know it? Yet she jumps up and declares something we know to be absolutely untrue: ..............

 The RINOs Never Learn - Kurt Schlichter Jan 21, 2021 - The squishes are almost childlike in their belief that if they only submit to the Establishment hard enough by offering gooey platitudes everything will work out fine for them, like a kid who keeps hoping that this time Santa’s really leaving a pony under the tree. But some people on the right need to understand and accept that there’s no kraken, and others on the right need to understand and accept that there’s no pony.

The Jeb! Faction thinks it’s riding high now. Please clap as you see the media elevate them, and why not? They do the Establishment’s bidding. Liz Cheney gave what used to be her prestige over to Impeachment II: Electoral Boogaloo and got a lot of praise from the libs for that, followed by more hatred from the libs. ................ 

Liz Cheney faces ouster moves in GOP Congress and in Wyoming - January 19, 2021 By Monica ShowalterHouse GOP conference chair, Rep. Liz Cheney, is finding herself unpopular. Her largely unfollowed-move to impeach President Trump has led to more than one move for her ouster.   On Jan. 12, she put this battle cry...  and attracted all of nine GOP followers................

"Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing." 

'I'm Not Going Anywhere': Liz Cheney Responds to Calls for Her Resignation From Leadership  - By Monica Showalter Wyoming's Rep. Liz Cheney has jumped right in to convict President Trump in a House second impeachment, based on the riot that went down on Jan. 6 in the Capitol. According to her statement, via Deadline Hollywood:
