Republicans Cancel Cheney For Not Lying
The Night before House Republicans voted to remove Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position, House Republicans walked out of Congress leaving Cheney to read her prepared statement to a mostly empty House. Cheney reminded her GOP colleagues that Trump “provoked a violent attack” on the Capitol “in an effort to steal the election” and that he is a threat to our democracy.

House Republicans ousted Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) from her leadership post Wednesday because she continues to challenge former president Donald Trump over his false claims about election fraud and his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to several GOP members.
