The Republican Party removed Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from the leadership position because she was not supporting the Big Lie. The white nationalist lawmaker and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney was ousted by a vote of vocal "yea" and "ney."

She defiantly insisted she'll steer the party away from Washed Up 45 and his "destructive lies."

Meeting behind closed doors, GOP lawmakers needed less than 20 minutes and a voice vote to oust the Wyoming congresswoman from her job as their No. 3 House leader. The banishment, urged by Washed Up 45 and other top Republicans, showed his ability to upend the careers of antagonists, even those from GOP royalty.

Cheney was among 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach Washed Up 45. The former president instigate a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. 

The white nationalists in the Republican Party continue to kick this notion that "socialism" is here. They are pushing the narrative that the southern border is in a crisis. They are calling for arrest of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters. They are pushing for more firearms in schools, churches, grocery stores and public buildings. They are pushing for bans on critical race theory. They are pushing for bans on transgender children playing in gender identified sports. They are calling critics of the latest Israeli attacks on Palestine, anti-Semitic. They are passing legislation making harder for Americans to vote in the U.S. 2022 and 2024 elections. They are still promoting the lie that Washed Up 45 actually won the presidential election. They are claiming that President Joe Biden is taxing all Americans.They are also not willing to work with Biden on pushing forth a bipartisan agenda. 

Cheney talks to Savannah Guthrie on the ouster. She vows to oppose Washed Up 45 if he runs again.

For Cheney, she will oppose Biden's agenda but she will at least acknowledge he is the legitimate president.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) went to the White House to greet and discuss their plans with the president and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The two walked out with the intentions of not supporting anything Biden is promoting.

On top of that McCarthy invokes former president Jimmy Carter as a reason to the foreign hacking of the Colonial Pipeline which crippled the pipeline. The pipeline closure has impacted the Northeast and South. 

McCarthy was key in ousting Cheney. He made it clear on Fox to Maria Bartiromo and Steve Doocy that Republicans are no longer convinced that Cheney is capable of leading the party into the Midterms.

Cheney fired back against McCarthy.

 “If you want leaders who will enable and spread his destructive lies, I'm not your person," she told her colleagues before the vote, according to a person who provided her remarks on condition of anonymity. "You have plenty of others to choose from. That will be their legacy."

Just minutes after she accused her fellow Republicans of dishonestly buttressing Washed Up 45, McCarthy, told reporters at the White House,"I don’t think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election. I think that is all over with."

McCarthy spoke a week after Washed Up 45 released a statement saying, "The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!"

Cheney's critics say her offense wasn't her view of Washed Up 45 but her persistence in publicly expressing it, undermining the unity they want party leaders to display in advance of next year’s elections, when they hope to win House control. Several also say GOP voters allegiance to Washed Up 45 means the party’s electoral prospects without him would be dismal.

Cheney's ouster effectively means the GOP is setting a remarkable requirement for admission to its highest ranks: adherence to, or at least silence about, Washed Up 45's fallacious claim about widespread voting fraud. In states around the country, officials and judges of both parties found no evidence to support his assertions.

Cheney, 54, would seem to have an uphill climb in her quest to redirect the GOP away from Washed Up 45.

She's told Republicans she's not quitting Congress and will run for reelection next year, but she will have to survive a near-certain GOP primary challenge from a Washed Up 45-recruited opponent. Even if she returns to the House, it is unclear how loud her voice will be inside a party that has all but disowned her.

And though she has establishment lineage and embraces classical GOP conservative stances, it almost seems the party has evolved out from under her.

Polls show Washed Up 45's hold is deep and wide on the party’s voters. And many of the time-tested conservative views she and her father share — including a belief in assertively projecting U.S. military force abroad — have lost ground to Washed Up 45's inward-focused America First agenda.

Even so, Cheney showed no signs of being bashful about her mission.

Outside the GOP meeting, she told reporters that the country needs a Republican Party "that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism, and I am committed and dedicated to ensuring that that’s how this party goes forward, and I plan to lead the fight to do that."

She added, "I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office."

Wednesday's voice vote by House Republicans means there is no precise way to measure how much support Cheney would have had, though only a handful of GOP colleagues have spoken out on her behalf.

"What happened today was sad," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), another Washed Up 45 critic and one of the few Republicans who have publicly defended her. "Liz committed the only sin of being consistent and telling the truth. The truth is that the election was not stolen."

Hard-right conservatives, among Cheney's fiercest critics, were exultant.

And Washed Up 45 himself took a sharp-elbowed victory lap, saying, "Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party. She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country."

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Liz Cheney

— Rep. Madison Cawthorn (@RepCawthorn) May 12, 2021

"Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Liz Cheney," tweeted Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC)

"You can't have a conference chair who recites Democrat talking points," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a conservative leader using the formal title for Cheney's former post.

As if to underscore Jordan's contention, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said,"Congresswoman Liz Cheney is a leader of great courage, patriotism and integrity. Today, House Republicans declared that those values are unwelcome in the Republican Party."

Participants said Cheney received a polite standing ovation after her remarks inside Wednesday's meeting. Then she had to endure what Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said was a "deafening" voice vote to topple her.

Her replacement in the party's House leadership is expected to be Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) who entered the House in 2015 at age 30, then the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.

The Republicans go back to their old hypocritical ways.

Stefanik owns a more moderate voting record than Cheney but has evolved into a vigorous Washed Up 45 defender who’s echoed some of his claims about widespread election cheating.

Some of Washington's hardest-right conservatives have remained wary of Stefanik's moderate record, but no challenger has emerged. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) said the vote on replacing Cheney will occur Friday.

Cheney arrived in Congress in 2017, and by November 2018 was elected to her leadership job unopposed. Her career path seemed to potentially include runs at becoming speaker, senator or even president.

She occasionally clashed with Washed Up 45 during his presidency over issues like the U.S. withdrawal from Syria. But virtually open warfare between the two commenced in January once she became one of 10 House Republicans to back his second impeachment for inciting his supporters’ deadly Capitol assault. The Senate acquitted him.

Cheney withstood a February effort to boot her from leadership in a 145-61 secret ballot, with a McCarthy speech on her behalf credited with saving her. That didn’t happen this time.
