While meeting with reporters after his meeting at the White House, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy rejected the idea that members of his conference were questioning the results of the election in the wake of the vote to oust Liz Cheney as GOP conference chair.
Pelosi, Schumer Come to Rep. Cheney’s Defense After House GOP Votes to Oust Her
Top Democrats on May 12 came to the defense of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) after she was voted out of her leadership position by House Republicans.
“Congresswoman Liz Cheney is a leader of great courage, patriotism, and integrity. Today, House Republicans declared that those values are unwelcome in the Republican party,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a statement. “For the sake of our democracy, reasonable Republicans across the country must take back their party.”
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), speaking from the Senate floor, said he and Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, disagreed on policy, but said her ouster is a “dark moment” for the GOP, while claiming she “had the courage to tell the truth.”

Ignorance is strength. â George Orwell, 1984
Welcome to the funhouse world the Republican Party is building. Up is down. Black is white. Lies are truth.
The great cause that Republicans are uniting around is election integrity. That s rich. The reality is that somebody
did attempt to steal the 2020 election â Donald Trump. During the days and weeks following his loss, he brayed endlessly that the outcome was fraudulent, laying the groundwork for an attempt to overturn the voters will.
From the White House, he made multiple calls to local election officials demanding that they find votes for him. He dialed up members of local canvassing boards, encouraging them to decertify results.
