House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that Republican lawmakers have shared concerns with him over Rep. Liz Cheney's ability "to carry out the message," fueling speculation that the No. 3 House Republican may once again face an effort to oust her from party leadership.
"There's no concern about how she voted on impeachment — that decision has been made," the California Republican told Fox & Friends. "I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair, to carry out the message. We all need to be working as one if we're able to win the majority."
His comments come a day after Cheney responded to a statement from former President Donald Trump once again perpetuating his false claim the presidential election was stolen from him.
"The 2020 presidential election was not stolen," Cheney tweeted. "Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system."

"There is no concern about how she voted on impeachment"...Bull!!! McCarthy cannot be relied on to tell the truth. Talk about our rights being eroded and then cancel one of the leaders because she chose truth over lying. Why, because they are afraid of Trump! She demonstrates the courage of her convictions and they demonstrate the cowardice that comes from no convictions

Liz Cheney has one of the most Conservative voting records in Congress. Apparently that isn't good enough for her to retain her leadership post in the House. Republicans have done the impossible, they have made Democrats actually feel sorry for the way Cheney is being treated by her own party. Amazing.

1LT Voyle Smith - Liz Cheney voted with Trump more than Elise Stefanik and Matt Gaetz, but apparently you didn't know about that. I guess those two aren't Trumpy enough either.

Cheney has been around a lot longer than Stefanik or Gaetz. She’s had more voting opportunities than either of those folks. She’s not conservative, she’s just a hornless RINO who doesn’t deserve a leadership position.CMSgt Al Nall

1LT Voyle Smith - Facts do not support your opinion, so I respectfully disagree. She's Conservative, just not hyper partisan.

Cheney’s a RINO and the GOP leadership would be better off without her. I contend that what this country needs is an American Conservative Party.The GOP has lost its way and is too busy “making nice” with liberals to pursue a conservative agenda. I want strong conservative leadership that is unabashedly pro-American and is unafraid of offending the do-nothings who talk a good game but run from a fight. We’ve had enough of that. ~1596994:CMSgt Al Nall]
