Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene reached her limit with Liz Cheney and told the soon-to-be ex-Wyoming Rep to make it official and switch parties.
“Liz, if you’re so unhappy with the Republican Party, then just make it official and switch parties,” Greene said. “I mean, really, what are you waiting for?”
Greene’s comments come after Cheney announced that she would not support Donald Trump if he ran for president in 2024.
“I will not support Donald Trump,” Cheney said. “I do not think that he should be leading our party.”
Greene has been a vocal critic of Cheney and was vocal in her calls to be removed from leadership.
“Liz Cheney is a traitor to our Party and our Country,” Greene said. “She is a disgrace and should be removed from leadership.”
After losing her bid for re-election in the Wyoming GOP primary, Liz Cheney has vowed to continue her anti-Trump crusade.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Greene called on Cheney to switch parties, saying that she “no longer represents” the Republican Party.
“Liz Cheney has outstayed her welcome in the Republican Party,” Greene wrote. “She’s a never Trumper who is more interested in attacking our President than she is in representing Wyoming.”
Greene went on to say that if Cheney “really cared about her constituents,” she would switch parties and “work with Democrats.”
“Liz Cheney is so committed to Joe Biden and the Democrats that she just intentionally skipped an anti-police vote that Republicans could have defeated. She clearly supports the Democrat war on police.”
Robert also joined in: “The House was one vote away from defeating a Democrat anti-police bill, but Liz Cheney couldn’t be bothered to show up to vote.”
The USA Today also reported on this inter-party opposition: “Cheney, R-Wyo., speaking at American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, recounted that on Jan. 6, before the attack on the Capitol, she was preparing remarks in the Republican cloakroom, where there were papers all around her.”
In February, Greene publicly heckled Cheney during a House GOP meeting, calling her a “coward” for voting to impeach President Trump.
Cheney has said that she will not be changing her party affiliation and has no intention of backing down from her criticism of President Trump.
“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” Cheney said in a recent interview.
“Those who are protecting Donald Trump elected leaders of my party are now willing to condemn FBI agents, Department of Justice officials and pretend that taking top secret SCI documents and keeping them in a desk drawer, in an office in Mar-a-Lago or in an unsecured location anywhere was somehow not a problem.”
Greene’s latest attack on Cheney comes from a deep history of opposition between the two congresswomen. Last year, the House voted on a resolution to censure the Georgia lawmaker for her past comments and actions, led by Cheney.
The resolution, which was introduced by Cheney and other House Republicans, condemns Greene’s “history of supporting conspiracy theories” and her “pattern of engaging in harassing behavior.”
