The GOP just handed Liz Cheney a megaphone !!!
Yes...They did!!!!!
It took a strong woman and a House Republican conference that threatened her.
It took GOP leadership more interested in regaining power than in abiding by the Constitution.
And it took a Republican Party devoted to nothing other than the rump.
So finally, Liz Cheney did it. It was clear she was going to be voted out of leadership, so she broke with her fellow leaders.
She did it loudly and purposefully, saying the quiet part out loud, taking on the former guy directly inside the room with his defenders.
"We cannot let the former President drag us backward and make us complicit in his efforts to unravel our democracy. Down that path lies our destruction, and potentially the destruction of our country," she told them.
She was booed by some of her colleagues, according to a source in the room.
She had the strength to challenge Leader Kevin McCarthy, and speak ill of the rump, so off with her head.But in trying to curtail or stop Cheney's ascent as a leader within the party, they handed her a bigger megaphone.
She's not just a House GOP someone, she's now a national leader -- with national exposure. And so Cheney is now a national story.

The purge of Cheney may be over, but the story isn't. Her words, STRONG and direct, will be a big part of the political echo chamber to come.
"I will do EVERYTHING I can to ensure that the former President never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office," she said in front of the TV cameras.
"You can see the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution."

Yeah. I don’t trust any of them.
