Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida will join a rally today in Wyoming to push for the ouster of Deep-Stater Representative Liz Cheney as chairman of the Republican Conference, the No. 3 position in the House.

Cheney voted with other Deep Staters and hate-Trump leftists to impeach the president on January 13 because, she claimed, he caused the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

But Gaetz isn’t the only Republican furious about Cheney’s disloyalty. Cowboy State Republicans are likewise enraged.

Cheney Defects

Cheney’s trouble began when she joined the posse that rode after Trump. The outgoing president, the wanted poster argued, unleashed the mob that grew out of the peaceful protest around the U.S. Capitol.

“On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes,” Cheney began in justifying her vote to impeach:

This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic.

Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.

I will vote to impeach the President.

That wasn’t quite the truth. Next day, the state GOP stampeded.

“There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received,” the statement continued. “Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time.”

The party summarized the anger in those calls and e-mails, not least that Cheney voted to impeach on the assumption that Trump was guilty and without considering the evidence. “President Trump did not incite anyone to riot,” the statement continued. “Read the transcript of what he said and watch the video.”

As well, Trump beat President Biden in Wyoming by a margin of 70 percent to 30. Those same voters sent Cheney to Washington to represent them, not “beltway elites” or hate-Trump leftists:

We have watched the leftists and progressives in this country riot, burn, kill, maim, loot and destroy cities and communities for 7 months, often with Democrat leaders egging them on, bailing them out and refusing to condemn their actions.

Representative Cheney has aligned herself with leftists who are screaming that what happened last Wednesday is the “worst thing ever in our history” (or similar such claims). That is absurd and shows their lack of knowledge of history as well as their willingness to skew the facts to further their corrupt agenda.

The Democrats are using this to smear the entire conservative movement and all Republicans. By voting to impeach, Representative Cheney is helping them in that effort.

Gaetz Steps in

Gaetz agrees, and so will appear on the steps of the State Capitol this afternoon in Cheyenne.

“I have a competing vision for Republicanism,” Gaetz told reporters last week. “I believe that we ought to embrace the spirit and style of President Trump.”

Even so, he doesn’t want Cheney’s job, he says.

Gaetz also urges Twitter followers to push their congressmen to purge Cheney.

Ask them if they’re one of the people joining @Jim_Jordan, @RepAndyBiggsAZ  and others in calling for the removal of @RepLizCheney as conference chair.

We can’t have leaders who would rather let America decline than embrace the America First agenda.

GOP conference members don’t think Cheney can represent, them Gaetz said, and so she can’t remain as chairman.

Cheney’s spokesman answered with an insult.

“Rep. Gaetz can leave his beauty bag at home,” he said. “In Wyoming, the men don’t wear make-up.”

Nearly 55,000 people have signed a petition at Change.org supporting a recall to remove the anti-Trump congresswoman.
