Cheney Booted From GOP Leadership, Not Even Her Allies Defend Her, Reports Say. Trump Responds.

Support for removing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her position as No. 3 in the House Republican leadership was so strong on Wednesday that no formal vote even happened and she was removed by voice vote.

“Former democratic Rep Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) tells me the vote of no confidence was a LOUD voice vote which Cheney failed,” Newsy reporter Nathaniel Reed wrote on Twitter. “Says no one spoke up to defend her, Kinzinger (R-IL) included.”
