McCarthy Tired Of Cheney, Calls For New House GOP Chair
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) grows tired of Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) as House GOP Chair. As a result, he endorsed a replacement for her ahead of a GOP vote scheduled later this week.

United In Leadership
Earlier, McCarthy gave his endorsement after news surfaced that Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) plans to start a call Wednesday morning.
Specifically, Foxx will call for Cheney’s removal as House Republican Conference Chair. “Democrats are destroying this nation. We’ve watched the greatest expansion of government [in] this socialist liberal agenda.
We watched them destroy our borders, where hundreds of thousands are coming across, not being tested for COVID. We’re catching people on the terrorist watch list,” McCarthy said.
“You’ve got the destruction of our energy. You’ve got the largest missed jobs report [in] more than two decades. To defeat Nancy Pelosi and the socialist agenda, we need to be united — and that starts with leadership.
That’s why we will have a vote next week. And we want to be united in looking, moving forward. And I think that’s what will take place,” he added.
Potential Candidates for New House GOP Chair
Specifically, one of the names floated to replace Cheney is Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY). “What we’re talking about, it’s a position in leadership.
We are in one of our biggest battles ever for this nation and the direction, whether this next century will be ours,” McCarthy said. “As conference chair, you have one of the most critical jobs as the messenger of going forward.
Are we talking about what the Democrats are doing on the border, are we talking about all the missed jobs reports that we just had, are we building an economy?” he said.
McCarthy added that Biden is creating never-before-seen inflation while also wanting to raise taxes. He said he's afraid the damages of the Biden era aren't something “we cannot come back for.”
Following the minority leader's endorsement, Stefanik tweeted he thanks. “Together, as one team, we will stand up for the American people and #FIREPelosi in 2022,” she tweeted.
In endorsing Stefanik, McCarthy follows endorsements from former President Donald Trump and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise for Stefanik.
“That’s why we need a conference that’s united,” McCarthy continued. “That’s why we need a conference chair that is delivering that message day in and day out and uniting the nation to make sure that we are on the right footing going forward.”
Cheney In the Hot Seat
Meanwhile, House Republicans remain divided over the future of the party. In fact, many GOP members remain loyal to Trump and tied their electoral fortunes to a potential White House return.
Meanwhile, others including Cheney voted with Democrats to impeach Trump earlier this year. She also called for a lesser role for Trump moving forward.
Last week, McCarthy said that rank-and-file GOP lawmakers expressed concerns to him about Cheney's ability to “carry out the message” and successfully do her job as conference chair.
Meanwhile, Cheney is precariously holding on to her seat day-to-day. Earlier, she survived an attempt to oust her from the position of conference chair.
However, tensions remain high as many GOP lawmakers see Cheney as divisive. In particular, the Wyoming representative remains a staunch critic of the former President. In addition, she wants the GOP to move on after Trump’s recent election loss.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving weasel! 🤮🤮🤮
Bye bye bit**! 👏👏👋👋👋👋👋
Cheney is a career politician who has learned how make a big problem bigger for her own profit. The people she leads have been given enough to pacify them out of her way. Trump is a hard working leader who started an American recovery like no politician could have done. Let China lead the green new world order. Then we will follow after they stop using fossil fuels and come up with pure energy. Until then we will continue to be the safest country in the world. Rule with intelligence, not emotions !
Don’t stop with her, 90% of the bums need kicked out!
A sad day for true republicans. The party has one less truth teller. I’m glad she stood her ground, not caving to all the misinformation of conspiracies and going down the dark hole of Trumpism. All the Retrumplicans should know by now that Trump only cares about Trump and is only loyal to himself. He is laughing all the way to the bank with their money. Hopefully this too shall pass, sooner rather than later! Cheney will be back. I don’t know in what position, but she will be back. America needs more people like her with good character and a backbone!
Whatever Anonymous person!!!! Wake up and smell the coffee please!!
Don’t be blind sided and fooled by the RINO’s!!!
Thank God, she’s mot the last to go. Let her join the dems and biden so they can lauhh all the way to the bank. Biden and democrats only care about euining America, they say it. Biden is going after money everywhere, Ukraine, Moscow, Iran, he can’t get enough and shithole cheney is the same. Romney is next, give him the boot. Hopefully Anonnymous lives long enough to suffer under bidens socialist rule, and hopefully when you’re in the bread line, they will run out eight when it’s your turn. Then you and your family starve to death because joe’s buying from china, selling out America
Giving money to kill babies, they need that for the fake vaccine(gene therapy.) It’s funny how everyone called Trump Hitler, and tyrant, but now we have a teue tyrant and not a word from thr fake media! He’s a funny guy though. I especially liked his last routine when he was trying to threaten America with no 4th of July. I kind of expected to see him juggling on a unicycle after it!
Get rid of her and all the other RHINOS. Her Father was just as bad. Replace her with someone with some common since and cares about the Country.
Cheney is clearly a Rino along with her father and the entire bush family! It’s time to clean house. The republicans have been fooled for many years running the country as business as usual! What’s going on now with China joe in the Whitehouse is a clear indication!!!Save this country and kick all the Rino’s out as there’s now to much at steak or we all lose!!!
she is with what they are teaching in schools what can you do for me and to hell with you
When nancy pelosi and the left is standing up for cheney then it’s clearly time for her to go from not only her current position but our entire government.
She is a globalist. While that has been ‘acceptable’ for some conservatives in the past, President Trump made it pretty clear, from the results of his policies, that America first is better for our citizens than the America last policies of the globalists. Like many politicians, she can give a good speech, but when her actions are detrimental to her constituents, she needs to go.
TRUMP DESERVES TO BE IN PRISON
To mr. or mrs.or miss. Anonymous, at least have enough balls to use your name. Throw liz Cheney into one of Wyomings shut down coal mines, that would be great for AMERICA
How about we celebrate the 4th of July with a little more fun this year!
Throw our mask’s on the BBQ grill and have maskless of a time!💥
Wooooo hoooo! Lol …May God Bless Our Country and keep us safe!!
