It was reported by ConservativeBrief that Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney has gone from being part of the GOP leadership to being a pariah in her own party in the span of a year.
After voting to impeach Donald Trump for a second time, Cheney continued to verbally attack the former president long after he left office, leading to her removal as chairperson of the House Republican Caucus, the party’s No. 3 position in Congress, and shunning by much of the Wyoming Republican Party.
Her decision to take House Speaker Nancy Pelosi up on an offer to co-chair the highly partisan Jan. 6 Committee all but assures she will be tossed out of office by Wyoming voters, based on current polling, come November.
But nevertheless, Cheney continues to harm her reputation and standing among Republicans, as noted by The Western Journal:
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, one of the most vociferous NeverTrumpers on the right and the highest-profile GOP representative to vote for former President Donald Trump’s impeachment last year, is one of only two Republicans selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to sit on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, incursion at the Capitol.
The committee members are currently seeking to obtain the cooperation of GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who they say communicated with then-President Trump on the day of the violence.
Jordan is refusing to cooperate, and with good reason: He knows a rigged game when he sees one. See, Cheney — the more prominent of the two Republicans on the committee — confirmed last week that she blamed Jordan for the riot with a foul-mouthed tirade while the chaos was still taking place.
A report by The Hill noted that Cheney used a recent podcast to confirm that she told Jordan the day of the riot, “Get away from me, you f**king did this.
