The Actual Number of America-First GOP Reps in Congress

So the House GOP Caucus recently took a vote on whether to remove Liz Cheney from GOP “leadership” for supporting the House Democrats’ impeachment of Donald Trump based on the false narrative that Trump called upon his followers to carry out a coup on his behalf. Less than a third of the GOP Reps supported removing Cheney:

House Republicans voted by a large margin Wednesday to allow Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney to stay on as the GOP conference chairwoman following an hours-long meeting where members aired their grievances over her vote to impeach former President Trump last month. Just 61 Republicans voted to remove Cheney from her post, while 145 voted for her to stay in a vote by secret ballot. 

This vote was a slap in the face to all the voters who supported Trump’s America-First agenda. But don’t take my word for it. The Wyoming GOP just voted overwhelmingly to censure Cheney, the State’s sole representative in Congress:

Only eight of the 74-member state GOP’s central committee stood to oppose censure in a vote that didn’t proceed to a formal count. The censure document accused Cheney of voting to impeach even though the U.S. House didn’t offer Trump “formal hearing or due process.”

The election in 2022 needs to be about replacing the 145 Cheney-Republicans with Republicans who support America-First, not a return to the Bush-Cheney agenda of “regime-change” and permanent occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria … while doing nothing to fight back against the unfair trade practices engaged in by China and our supposed allies in Europe.
