ICHEOKU says Democrats impeachment managers used her own exact words in their attack of the president during their desperate impeachment trial to convict the president of a crime which he did not commit. There is no way she can remain in her leadership position in the Republican Party after providing the Democrats the ammo with which they tried to impair the president. Going forward, it is utterly impossible for her to continue in her leadership position of a party, the interest of whose majority she is at odds with. Therefore, Liz Cheney must resign her position or be removed because she no longer represents the party nor is she trusted by the majority of the party's membership.
There is no way such a Judas Iscariot can remain in the same leadership space with the president whom she conspired to take out but failed. She took a shot at the king and missed and now she must pay the ultimate price for her treachery. She thought that she had struck the fatal blow with her impeachment vote and accompanying words of condemnation and that the president will be permanently incapacitated and forever put out of commission. There is no possible way she will be allowed to remain in the party's leadership position following what she did. So, it is either the president or Liz Cheney and the Washington DC Republican leadership must be forced to take side because Republican majority have already chosen the president over the lady from Wyoming. Republican Party's leadership must abandon their protection of Liz Cheney and follow their party majority in the battle between President Donald John Trump and Congresswoman Liz Cheney.
A matter which have now become more urgent with the Senate's acquittal of the president which will herald a stronger and more formidable president providing more dynamic leadership for the party. There is no compromise in this and there will be no cuddling either; it is either the president or the congresswoman as there cannot be two captains on a ship. Such a soured grape as Liz Cheney cannot be allowed to remain in the leadership rank of the party in order to avoid needless friction among their supporters and between the two of them. She expended her aces with her impeachment and MAGA family cannot forgive her nor accept her playing any leadership role in the party. She must therefore take herself out of the way in order to make way for the president to rebuild the party into an election winning machine that will sweep the Republicans back into power in 2022 going forward.
No political party worth its salt should tolerate such a betrayal of trust especially from one of its leaders and against the wishes of majority of its membership. That their beloved president is being hunted by the Deep State led Democrats is already too much to bear; but for an enemy within and in the person of a leader, that is simply intolerable. She took a Brutus stab at the president when she voted to impeach him and having survived, the president will come after her with vengeance to exact his pound of flesh. The party will be better off if they proactively prevent such a scenario by getting rid of Liz Cheney from the party or at least from its leadership in order to placate the president who is rightly incensed by what she did. It is wrong for a leader in the Republican Party's hierarchy to be so distanced from the wishes of the party's MAGA base that she so frontally displayed her dislike for their beloved leader and voted to impeach him.
This is not about who Liz Cheney would rather personally see at the helm of affairs in the overall leadership of the party, but who brings home the most bacon of votes for the party as required to win elections across the board. It was very disappointing to see her two Sundays ago on Chris Wallace's FoxNews on Sunday interview still critical of the president; but when she was directly asked were she in the Senate whether she will vote to convict the president, she refused to answer the question. Instead, she said that she will wait to first see the evidence before voting either way; thus begging the question, on which evidence then did she base her decision to impeach the president or does her standards vary and sway depending on in which chamber of Congress she casts her vote. It shows that she deliberately voted to impeach the president in furtherance of a conspiracy and not that that she believed that the president committed any impeachable offense.
ICHEOKU says would have cared less how she voted were she an ordinary Republican rank and file member of the House of Representatives. But being in a leadership position, she ought to think and should have thought her actions thoroughly first, fully aware that she represents the MAGA family and that their interest comes before her personal interest, before casting her insidious vote. A leader is supposed to be selfless. How can she vote her conviction when it was obvious that the majority of the party membership love their president and did not want her to impeach the president. Where was her party loyalty? She has poisoned herself by doing what she did and allowing her to remain will only extend her poison to the party and destroy it. It is unacceptable for her to remain in the helm of affairs and were it in the Democratic Party she would have been gone from her position so long ago.
Republican Party leadership therefore must put an end to their current balancing act, trying to carry along both the president and the congresswoman. They have to read the handwriting on the wall and understand that they can only do well with President Trump and act on the wishes of his MAGA base by ditching Liz Cheney immediately. The most nauseating thing about her vote to impeach the president is that she tried to explain it away by saying that the president's tweet that Mike Pence was not courageous enough made her vote as she did. Questioning Mike Pence's courage wasn't the worst tweet ever, so what? Rioters who were already on rampage did not read the tweet and the president was charged for a speech he made before the riot not for a tweet he made during the riot.
Anyway, it does not even matter what her explanation was, as a leader in the Republican Party, she should not have exhibited such a hostility and direct affront against the president. What message was she trying to send, that the Republican Party leadership is against the president or that she is an agent of the Deep State doing their anti Trump bidding for them. She has lost the confidence of the party and therefore must resign from her leadership position or be removed immediately, pending 2022 when she will be voted out during Wyoming primary. Such a person ought not and should not be representing the Republican Party, talkless of leading the party in any form or capacity whatsoever. #AwayWithLizCheney.
