Then how do you explain why they didn't boot her out 4 months ago, but did now?

Because the leader of R's lost his set and is drinking the Kool-aid. He also flip on who was responsible for the capital riot.

So now if tell the truth you will be a canceled R. Sad to watch my party (at one time) become the racist Trump party.

One as a US rep and one personal. Gaetz actually has the same thing.

Fauci caused Covid

Setting aside your strawman argument, what idea are you dismissing?

The potential that a lab leak was the source of covid? Or the fact that NIH funding went (indirectly) to the lab it may have leaked from?

Any comments on Liz "truth teller" Cheney's lies to Bret Baier about her role is selling the "Russian bounty" lie?

What joke this party has become. They now oppose an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Better an honest commission than a bipartisan commission anyways. Pelosi outmaneuvered them into not being able to whine about it being partisan. Kevin McCarthy is a fool.

He would not take yes as an answer.

Here are the 35 Republicans who defied @GOPLeader and the rest of the Republican leadership to support the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 Capitol riot. Bolded names are those who voted to impeach Trump. (h/t @bensiegel) pic.twitter.com/NrPDXCzTGr

Interesting how little of an overlap there is. Wonder if they stand a chance at 60 senate votes - the senate being less Trumpy but more cohesive

Does not look good in the senate.
Pretty sad when you get everything you ask for then say no. Trump has this party by you know what and they can't do anything about it.

I wonder if Liz Cheney’s play is to emerge as the leader if they ever come back from the ashes

Why would you cancel a strong conservative? This shows the demise is worse than it looks on the surface.

MTG says Speaker Pelosi wanting Members of Congress to get vaccinated and if not to wear masks is â€œexactly the type of abuseâ€ as murdering Jews in gas chambers during the Holocaust and David Brody nods along. No follow up. pic.twitter.com/inXfD8UBiG

Quoting Benson in an article about faith in elections, without mentioning that she violated election law in the 2020 elections is next level stuff...

Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling.

Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.
