IMPEACHMENT: Meet the Republicans Who Betrayed their President and Party

 Todd Starnes  "Democrats shamefully impeached President Trump for the second time — again without any evidence of wrongdoing – not a single shred of evidence.

"Sadly, a handful of back-bench Republicans turned their backs on voters and sided with the Democrats.

"In doing so they brought great shame upon themselves and their congressional districts.

"Among the leaders of the Republican backstabbers was Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House.

" 'The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack,” she said in a statement. “Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not.”...

Historians will one day discover that President Trump’s greatest political enemies were in fact not Democrats, but Establishment Republicans.

    There Is No Future For A Liz Cheney GOP


"The most successful aspect of election efforts in 2020 is indisputable: It’s Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans. That’s not something you can argue against. Look at the scoreboard. In an election where all the smart people said they would lose seats, they didn’t just gain, they gained significantly. They did this through smart recruiting, wise expenditures, and by hitting the right political tone in a very challenging cycle.

"Mitch McConnell and the Senate leadership team did not do this. Ultimately, their people were proven wrong in their predictions, both in anticipating disaster in November and then in projecting arrogant confidence that the 600 vs. 2,000 thing wouldn’t hurt them in the Georgia runoffs. I was told their ground game was excellent, and it would do the job. Instead, both candidates lost by enough that you can’t even blame it on a Trump beef with the secretary of state or, even more ludicrously — looking at you, AEI folks — signing the NDAA.

"Liz Cheney was not a part of this uniquely successful cycle. She was in no way a meaningful part of this. Electoral politics, recruitment, fundraising — it is not really her thing. But she claimed credit for it at the time nonetheless, so leadership House folks who know the way Liz can be just rolled their eyes and moved on.

"As a member of leadership, when Cheney’s stance in favor of impeaching President Trump was announced, it was trumpeted widely by the media." . . .
