There are two reasons being offered for why Cheney needs to go, one of which is true and one of which is spin.
The spin, from Kevin McCarthy on down to party apparatchiks at all levels, is that the caucus had no problem with Cheney voting to impeach Trump and criticizing him afterward. They stood by her in February, didn’t they? Cheney’s problem is that she just
won’t move on. She keeps responding to Trump’s statements insisting that the election was rigged and fielding questions from reporters about the insurrection. The caucus needs a leader who’ll look ahead towards stopping Biden’s agenda, not someone who looks backward and wants to fight with Trump.

As House GOP leadership openly boosts her bid to replace Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as conference chair, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Thursday flirted openly with former President Trump’s election fraud falsehoods during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
Bannon, who served as Trump’s White House strategist and was among the 143 people granted clemency in the hours before the former president left office, asked Stefanik to weigh in on the sketchy “audit” of 2020 election results in Arizona’s largest county.
Stefanik replied that she “fully supports” the battleground state’s so-called “audit.”

Rep. Donalds failed test
A Republican action committee (the Republican Accountability Project) recently released its grades for Republicans in Congress regarding (their actions and statements before and after) the Jan. 6 attempt to overthrow democracy.
Rep., Byron Donalds (who represents part of coastal Southwest Florida) got an F. He told HuffPost.com in a statement that he does not take the “never Trumper” group seriously. He repeated Trump’s false assertion that a number of states had unconstitutionally violated election law as the reason for his actions, HuffPost stated online.
“I will always receive an A rating defending the Constitution,” Donalds said, according to HuffPost.
