All she did was vote to impeach Donald Trump after the ex-POTUS incited the insurrection of The Sixth of January. Cheney had the temerity to stand strongly in favor of the U.S. Constitution, which the terrorists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 threatened directly. And, yes, Donald Trump was the instigator.<\/p>\n<p>This is a disgraceful display from the House GOP leader. He makes me sick.<\/p>\n<p>As for Stefanik, a New York Republican, she makes me sick, too. Her only credential is that she is a Trump toadie, a suck-up, a Kool-Aid swilling member of the Trumpkin Corps of acolytes who believes the election was &#8220;stolen&#8221; by some mysterious, nefarious cabal.<\/p>\n<p>This internecine war among Republicans isn&#8217;t likely to end with Cheney&#8217;s expected ouster from the leadership of her party&#8217;s House caucus.
