Cheney said in a brief speech after the meeting: “We can neither embrace the’big lie’ nor the Constitution.” He was referring to the term used to describe efforts to claim that the election was stolen by Trump.

She said: “I will do everything I can to make sure that the former president never gets close to the Oval Office again.” “We have seen the danger of him continuing to provoke with his language, and we have seen his lack of commitment and commitment to the Constitution. Dedication, I think anyone we choose must be faithful to the Constitution, which is very important.”

One of Cheney’s defenders, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, told reporters that Cheney was defeated by a simple voice vote after a short morning meeting.

Jinzinger said: “What happened today is sad.” “Ritz committed the only consistent fact, which is to be honest, the fact is that the election was not stolen.”

Trump and the top two Republicans in the House of Representatives, minority leader Kevin McCarthy and minority whip Steve Scalise (Steve Scalise) both endorsed Congressman Elise Stefanik (Elise Stefanik) As her successor, although some in the caucus thought she was not conservative enough. Cheney’s replacement may vote for her as early as Friday.

In a statement issued after the vote, Trump launched a personal attack on her, saying: “Liz Cheney is a painful and terrifying person.” He continued: “She has no personality, and has nothing to do with politics or ours. The country has nothing to do.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that when Biden’s reaction to Cheney’s removal was asked by reporters, “to see that any leader, regardless of the party, has been attacked, just because he said It’s just the truth.”

“His belief is that the American people will have to make their own decisions about whether the response of the people elected to represent them should be to embrace and intensify conspiracies and attacks on our democracy, or whether it should support historically historical significance. His ideals have been owned by Democrats and Republicans representing the country throughout history.”

McCarthy once criticized Trump’s role on January 6, but backed down

Cheney, a Republican in the Third House of Representatives with outstanding conservative qualifications, has repeatedly condemned Trump’s false statements about the 2020 election and insisted that the Republican Party become a “party of truth” so as to meet McCarthy and others in his own core meeting. People clashed.

In a defiant speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday night, Cheney criticized Trump for falsely claiming that the November election and Republicans who supported his accusations were stolen.

Cheney said: “Keeping silent and ignoring lies will make liars feel timid.” “I won’t participate. I won’t sit down and observe silently, while others lead our party to abandon the rule of law and join the former president.” Movement, undermining our democracy.”

Most Republican lawmakers, including McCarthy, have tried to appease Trump. Trump continues to falsely insist that he lost the election due to widespread fraud. This claim has been presented in multiple courts as well as state and federal Dismissed among election officials.

In a letter announcing Wednesday’s vote, McCarthy told his fellow Republicans: “Obviously, we need to make changes.” “These internal conflicts must be resolved so as not to undermine the efforts of our collective team.”

This evolved from McCarthy’s comments on the congressional riots on January 6, in which he said that Trump “has a responsibility for [the] Mob mobs attacked Congress. “

Republican aides and party strategists in the House of Representatives said that Cheney’s expected removal will help the Republicans in the short term by ensuring that the party can rely on Trump’s supporters at the beginning of the 2022 congressional election. The Republicans hope to borrow This regained the majority of seats in the House of Representatives and Senate.

Republican strategist Alex Conant said: “The members of the House of Representatives are very sensitive to their base, and the Republican base continues to like Donald Trump.”

Risky move

However, the infidelity to the former president has caused House Republicans to publicly declare that they are punishing those who tell the truth. This may alienate vacillating voters, and Republicans will need them to achieve election goals.

The move against Cheney is also in sharp contrast to McCarthy’s decision not to deal with Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gates. The Democratic leader of the House of Representatives stripped Green of his committee positions to support past inflammatory statements, including support for violence against the Democratic Party, while Gates was under federal child sex trafficking investigations.

Responses from Republican Senator Graham and Democratic Congressman Schiff:

Some Republicans said that Cheney’s departure and Trump’s continued false election claims may further deepen the differences within the party.

The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, Cheney, is one of 10 House Republicans who voted in January to condemn Trump for inciting a rebellion and is now facing a re-election in her home state of Wyoming Wyoming is revered for the hard struggle.

However, if McKinsey and other senior Republicans backfire on Trump, removing him from Cheney may also be risky.

Trump was impeached twice; he presided over the losses of the Republican Senate and House, the Senate and the White House; and was accused of inciting congressional riots. Five people died in the Capitol that day, including a policeman.

Trump faces potential legal consequences on many fronts, including his interference with election officials in Georgia and the ongoing investigation in New York surrounding the Trump Organization.
