Liz Cheney, who was the No. 3 Republican in the House, has repeatedly bashed Trump for spreading the lie that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
House Republicans on Wednesday removed Rep. Liz Cheney from her party leadership role after she urged the GOP to reject former President Donald Trump."I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office," Cheney said.
Cheney delivered one final pitch to her colleagues at the top of the meeting, which began around 9 a.m. ET and lasted roughly 20 minutes."We cannot let the former president drag us backward and make us complicit in his efforts to unravel our democracy," Cheney said, NBC News reported."Down that path lies our destruction, and potentially the destruction of our country."
The showdown came days after two other top-ranking House Republicans, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Minority Whip Steve Scalise, said they were through with Cheney as House GOP conference chair. To their chagrin, Cheney in the three months since has continued to bash Trump for spreading the lie that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
"Each day spent relitigating the past is one day less we have to seize the future," McCarthy said Tuesday in. On the eve of the expected vote to oust her, Cheney appeared to get a head start, taking to the floor of the House to make her case. "The election is over," Cheney said."Those who refuse to accept the rulings of our courts are at war with the Constitution."
