Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and House GOP leadership do not appear to have mended fences as the party tries to put on a unified front. In fact, the relationship is "very near a breaking point," Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman writes, adding that in all his years covering the House "this is about as bad as it's gotten."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) appeared to suggest in a recent Politico interview that Cheney, the GOP conference chair who has remained vocal in her criticism of former President Donald Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, should try to be more of a team player, and he also said he's approached her about toning down some of her remarks. When asked whether he believes she's followed his advice, he said only: "You be the judge."
On Monday, the two publicly split on the scope of a commission investigating the Capitol riot, with Cheney advocating for a narrowly focused probe and McCarthy favoring a broader one that "explores all kinds of political violence, including the protests that erupted last summer in response to police brutality," Politico reports.
Sherman reached his conclusion about the state of things after asking McCarthy if he thought Cheney was still a good fit for his leadership team, a question the congressman dodged twice, rarely an encouraging sign.

Don’t you believe it!
It is time for the leadership to grow a pair and pressure her to resign. Wyoming can’t wait to replace her.
Butt meet boot, if up to me.
She’s much too impressed with herself to be introspective...
Not going to happen. But at least I hope she gets primaried out.
She’s full of herself because of her daddy’s name.
GOP leadership? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Interpretation:
She wants to run for president and needs to focus a probe on Trump in hopes of turning folks away from him.
This, of course, is pure fantasy on her part...
At least she’s got McArthy. lol.
If she was a man she would have been dumped a long time ago. An astute Freeper recently pointed out that she was only put in that role because the GOP desperately wanted to have a woman in a House leadership position.
I buy it - makes absolute sense. Cheney’s comments obviously alienate a lot of HOP voters, and other Republicans surely can see that.
“She wants to run for president and needs to focus a probe on Trump in hopes of turning folks away from him.”
IF she runs, she absolutely, positively ascertains DJT will also run.
The BUSHITES are having a real hard time understanding their time has passed, never to return. Like a scorned x lover who can’t let go. Awaiting her BUNNY IN THE POT moment...
May be?
Or for her to call up and say, "Play Misty For Me!"
She’s another Meagan McCain.
I’d crawl on broken glass to support DJ Trump. I’d enthusiastically crawl on broken glass just for the chance to toss some at her!
I thought Liz, not Trump, was the leader.
