No. 2 House Republican calls for ousting Cheney as conference chair

Washington — The second-highest ranking Republican in the House publicly called for the removal of GOP conference chair Liz Cheney, who has repeatedly criticized former President Trump for spreading falsehoods about the 2020 election and seeking to downplay the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters.

Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana will back New York Representative Elise Stefanik to replace Cheney, his spokesperson said.

"House Republicans need to be solely focused on taking back the House in 2022 and fighting against Speaker Pelosi and President Biden's radical socialist agenda, and Elise Stefanik is strongly committed to doing that, which is why Whip Scalise has pledged to support her for Conference Chair," Lauren Fine, Scalise's communications director, said in a statement to CBS News.

The statement is the first explicit call from GOP House leadership for Cheney's removal, although Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that House Republicans were losing confidence in the current conference chair.

Scalise is a pile of No. 2 and Elise Stefanik is a Trump lapdog.

2. Funny how those who criticize "cancel culture" are first in line to cancel

someone who doesn't toe the party line.

6. That is exactly why their whole "cancel culture" argument is bull.

They don't give a rat's ass about cancel culture. They just don't want any type of consequence for their rancid, putrid speech. Their whole CPAC schtick was about Cancel Culture and they literally cancelled a speaker after "it was pointed out to them" that the guy was anti-Semitic. It is not about cancel culture it is about them wanting their way ALL the time, with no pushback EVER.

They are simply assholes.

3. DEMS should...

...REALLY use this. Though it'll be a scare tactic, it will also be the truth.


If republicans win any of the bodies of the government, they will simply remove or "cancel" anybody who disagrees with them - even if that person is telling the truth.


K. Conway was on to something when she coined "alternative facts."

7. Stefanik cries "socialism" except when it's funding she brings to the district

Then it's just her doing a great job as a rep, of course. She is a masterful, shameless liar with zero ethics or patriotism.
