Amy Klobuchar Defends Liz Cheney Amid GOP Dissension, Admires Her Moral Courage
On 5/8/21 at 10:10 AM EDT
Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, defended Representative Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, as she appears set be ousted from her leadership role in the House GOP due to her condemnation of former President Donald Trump.
Cheney, the chair of the House Republican Conference, was one of the 10 Republicans to vote with Democrats to impeach Trump after he allegedly incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6 in a bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Since then, the Wyoming lawmaker has repeatedly condemned Trump in public comments, drawing the ire of the former president and his many loyal GOP supporters. Now it appears she will be ousted from her role as the No. 3 House Republican.
Why Republicans Want To Replace Cheney With âBig Liarâ Stefanik

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third-ranked Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, is likely to be removed from her leadership position by the party for her vehement criticism of former President Donald Trump, her acknowledgment that Joe Biden is the legitimate president, and her admission that that widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election did not occur. And House Minority Whip Steve Scalise has a replacement in mind: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who is actively campaigning for the role.

Washington Post opinion writer Greg Sargent lambasts Stefanik in his column this week, stressing that Stefanik s deceptive statements speak volumes about her lack of character.
