K. You hate the Trump. Great. Point taken, apparently a number of people feel the same way. You've made your point, so move on to something productive now.

If that's your only message, and all you can ever harp on, what's the point in having you in leadership or in the House at all? Not really what you were elected to office for, to focus solely on running down one person.


Rather odd obsession, really.

Quote:House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy reportedly said he “lost confidence” in House Republican Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., in a hot mic moment reviewed by Axios.

McCarthy appeared on “Fox & Friends” with host Steve Doocy Tuesday morning and said House Republicans have grown frustrated with Cheney who has been the subject of calls to step down from her leadership position for continually aligning herself against her GOP colleagues.

“There’s no concern about how she voted on impeachment. That decision has been made. I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair — to carry out the message,” McCarthy said. “We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority. Remember, majorities are not given; they are earned.”

However, as Axios reported, McCarthy went further in his comments off air to Doocy.

“I think she’s got real problems,” McCarthy allegedly said prior to his interview. “I’ve had it with her. You know, I’ve lost confidence. … Well, someone just has to bring a motion, but I assume that will probably take place.”

In response to McCarthy appearing on Fox News, a spokesman for Cheney told the Washington Examiner, “This is about whether the Republican Party is going to perpetuate lies about the 2020 election and attempt to whitewash what happened on Jan. 6. Liz will not do that.”

“That is the issue,” the spokesman added.

The office of McCarthy did not respond to a request for comment.

Axios reporters were allegedly told last week that Cheney could be removed from being House Republican Chair this month. The Hill reported Monday that “GOP Allies” of McCarthy are eying replacements for the Wyoming congresswoman. Some names floated by congressional aides included Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Ann Wagner, R-Mo., and Jackie Walorski, R-Ind.

Quote:Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) met “off-the-record” Monday with Fox News board member Paul Ryan amid reports of impending removal from Republican House leadership.

“We can’t embrace the notion the election is stolen. It’s a poison in the bloodstream of our democracy,” Cheney said to the Fox News board member “behind closed doors at a conference in Sea Island, Georgia,” according to CNN.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter interviewing with Ryan “suggests the former Wisconsin Republican is also seeking a role in trying to shape the party’s future. Ryan’s longtime political aide, Kevin Seifert, has been working for Cheney’s political team since earlier this year,” CNN asserted.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported Tuesday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has “concerns” about Cheney’s ability to maintain her conference chair.

“I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out her job as conference chair, to carry out the message,” McCarthy said. “We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority. Remember, majorities are not given. They are earned.”

The recent report comes as Breitbart News reported Monday an ally of McCarthy promised Cheney would be ousted from her leadership position by the end of the month.

“There is no way that Liz will be conference chair by month’s end. When there is a vote, it won’t be a long conference; it will be fast. Everyone knows the outcome,” the ally said.

As Cheney and Ryan attempt to maintain influence in the Republican Party, both seem eager to remove Trump from his influential position. For instance, Ryan said on April 30 that Trump “is going to fade.”

“I think circumstances, ideas and new candidates are going to… overshadow that whole conversation,” Ryan explained. “I think it’s wrong to suggest that this party is bifurcated around one person.”

The mainstream media, though, has its doubt of Ryan assisting Cheney. CNN’s New Day anchor John Berman highlighted Tuesday the meeting between Ryan and Cheney as disingenuous.

“Former Speaker Paul Ryan, he’s letting Liz Cheney speak her mind. He’s giving Cheney this platform to… hold a mirror up to the Republican Party. Well, if Paul Ryan really wanted to effect change within the Republican Party, what avenue does he have at his exposed, Oliver?” Berman asked reporter Oliver Darcy.

“Paul Ryan sits on the Board of Fox Corporation,” Darcy stated before condemning Ryan’s board membership at Fox News for “pumping poison… into American politics.”

Wow.
