GOP Discord Over Liz Cheney, Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Still All About Trump Enlarge this image toggle caption Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images Updated at 5:34 p.m. "Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference," McCarthy said in a statement early Wednesday evening. The House Republican Conference also met to discuss the fate of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, a member in House leadership with a drastically different loyalty to former President Donald Trump than Greene. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said in a statement earlier on Wednesday that he spoke to McCarthy on Wednesday morning and that "it is clear there is no alternative to holding a Floor vote on the resolution to remove Rep. Greene from her committee assignments." Trump's backing of Greene, whom he once called a "future Republican star," could make it difficult for McCarthy, who recently met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Florida to discuss taking back the House in 2022, to mete out the robust action that Democrats and some Republicans are calling for.
