Removing 'Republican royalty' Liz Cheney from her position was 'brutal politics'

Liz Cheney was removed from her position in Congress because “she was running a different narrative” than the Republicans want to push, according to US Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman.

“What I think you’re seeing is an effort to consolidate the Republican Party (for) what’s going to be their strategy for those 2022 elections,” he told Sky News.

“The Republicans are going to be thinking of this base election, Democrat turnout is not going to be as high as it was when the presidency was at stake and the voice that are splitting the Republican Party at the moment need to be silenced.”

Mr Jackman said the Republicans were pushing the view former President Donald Trump was robbed at the 2020 election and Ms Cheney was saying President Trump was “perpetuating a great lie that was damaging to the US Constitution.”

“As brutal as the politics are, the silencing of the number three Republican in Congress and someone with the name Cheney – Republican Party royalty from the reddest of red states Wyoming – this is about getting their ducks in a row.”

Her dad played the real brutal politics.

She was about as much in common with royalty as the former Prince Harry

The GOP seems to be doing some much needed spring cleaning.

She was a rino never Trumper. She will not be missed.

Disappointing with Sky News to have such caption when they know Liz is a liar and her actions shows nothing but fear for Trump!

Thank God we got that Rino out of a leadership role.

Its MAGA party now. No room for establishment traitors

What goes around comes around and it came around for lizzy. End of story.

Cheney does not represent us, just herself and the establishment. So many of us are glad she's gone.

If that was brutal politics, I can't imagine what you would call Biden being elected

Everyone House member that voted against Trump is being primaried and every single one of them is going to lose - they are out of a job after the mid-terms next year. In the Senate it is the same, Murkowski will follow Cheney out the door and Romney will follow her in 2024.

Trump is gone but Trumpism is still alive. In fact this move is taking place all across the Western world with record low opinion poll numbers for Social Democractic parties.

The only way see could get into government is by running as a Republican when she is actually a democrat supporter.

[vonsaltinator]

Nothing brutal about ousting a uniparty rino. Bye Felicia!

[wesleychanin]

It was a good decision. People were losing faith in the Republicans because of politicians like her. They still need to do more house cleaning.
