House Freedom Caucus members are going after Cheney, president of the Republican Chamber Conference, following a strange moment during a press conference on Wednesday with the leader of the Republican Party.

“This was one of the most outrageous statements, but it is consistent with at least four other statements she has made in the past few weeks. As you know, some of us in this group have led an indictment to remove Ms. Cheney as the leader of the Republican conference. I don’t believe she will be able to take this forward, ”said House Freedom Caucus President Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), At a news conference on Thursday.
“I also think that she is absolutely devoid of any kind of political reading of what is happening in the Republican Party in this country right now,” he added. “My guess is that there is probably no room at the party for someone who takes the positions that Ms. Cheney does and who makes the accusations that she does. She should resign – if she had any feeling of shame, she would resign. “

“You can’t get up and make a statement that is completely out of step with the Republican conference and where the American people are supporting President Trump. I think it is a pity that she made these observations. I think it was short-sighted, but I also think it was purposeful and I think that’s the problem. “
Cheney’s previous criticism of Trump has generated a violent backlash from conservative lawmakers who tried unsuccessfully to strip her of her leadership role earlier this month, citing the timing of her announcement that she would vote for Trump’s impeachment for inciting the insurrection and its criticisms of challenging the certification of the election in the major decisive states. She ended up prevailing by maintaining her position in a 145 to 61 vote among House Republicans.
But despite maintaining her leadership role, conservatives argue that she is out of touch with the majority of the party and should step down, which involves leading the Republican Party’s message efforts in the House.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) – who was recently removed from her committee assignments in a House vote for previous fiery comments and adoption of the QAnon conspiracy theory – criticized Cheney on Thursday, noting that several lawmakers in the Republican party that voted for impeachment Trump faced censorship and primary challenges.
