Numerous Republicans in Congress are calling on Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming to resign from her position as conference chairwoman after she joined Democratic efforts to impeach President Donald Trump this week.
Cheney, who is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, announced her intent to vote to impeach the president, joining Democrats who are eager to make him go away.
A notion among much of the GOP base is that Democrats have been waiting for a pretext such as last week’s Capitol incursion to exile Trump from politics.
Another notion is that Cheney, the third-ranking member of the GOP in the House, herself has been eager to see Trump, Trumpism and Trump supporters banished from the party of her father.
In any event, she signaled her intent to support the Democrats’ second impeachment of the president in roughly a year and launched a blistering attack on him Tuesday.
