Editorial: Liz Cheney isn’t the only victim of the Republican Party’s Trump cult

LA Times  

For continuing to call out the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming may soon lose her position as chair of the House Republican Conference, the No. Three months ago House Republicans voted privately to retain Cheney in her leadership position, despite criticism of her vote to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. I look forward to her being removed SOON!” For other Republicans, Cheney’s offense isn’t that she voted to impeach Trump but that she insists on continuing to speak the truth about the former president. According to a report in the New York Times, some Republicans fear that Cheney’s refusal to stop criticizing Trump or condemning the events of Jan. 6 “could weaken the party’s message going into the 2022 midterm elections, when they hope to portray Democrats as big-government socialists so villainous they should be voted out of the majority.” But Cheney, a stalwart conservative, is on record criticizing President Biden’s spending plans. In a powerful op-ed column published in the Washington Post this week, Cheney wrote: “The Republican Party is at a turning point, and Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution.” Many of Cheney’s colleagues have made their decision, and they’ve chosen loyalty to Trump.
