Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is being punished by the GOP for living in reality, Seth Meyers said Wednesday night. GOP leaders have been preparing to oust Cheney, the third-highest ranking Republican in the House, from her leadership role after she repeatedly refused to perpetuate former President Donald Trump’s falsehood that he won the 2020 election. She was also one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach him for inciting a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.
