Various media outlets are reporting that, as expected, the House GOP caucus voted Liz Cheney out of her position in leadership, on a voice vote. Individuals’ votes wisely were not recorded.
Following the vote, Cheney remains unrepentant. Her statement:
I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again never gets anywhere near the Oval Office. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution. And I think it's very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody that will be faithful to the Constitution.
In defeat, minor House Cheney announces its implacable opposition to upstart House Trump. Apparently they continue to ally with former great House Bush.
Our version of the Landsraad or Game of Thrones continues. Hat tip to both Frank Herbert and George R.R. Martin for envisioning the arena and protagonists.
