House Republicans are expected to vote Wednesday to remove Cheney as House GOP Conference chair because she refuses to back Trump's election lies.
On the eve of her likely ouster as House Republican Conference chair, Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) took to the House floor Tuesday to reiterate her condemnation of former President Donald Trump and his lies about a “stolen” election. Cheney’s fellow House Republicans are expected to vote Wednesday to remove her from her leadership post because of her criticism of Trump and what she’s dubbed “THE BIG LIE.” Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), a staunch Trump ally, is expected to replace her. Despite the looming threat of the vote, Cheney doubled down on her censure of Trump, saying in her speech that she would “not participate” in “ignoring the lie” he had perpetuated about a fraudulent election.
