”Shut up, Meg.”

Meghan McCain on Wednesday slammed Republicans working to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her House GOP leadership position, promising “consequences one way or another” if she is forced out of her post.
“I feel very defensive of Liz Cheney and if you do this, which it looks like they're gonna do, I promise you there will be consequences, one way or another there's going to be consequences,” McCain said on “The View.”
In the fiery segment, McCain called the group of Republicans supporting the ouster of Cheney a “sausage fest of MAGA.”
“Go ahead in this sausage fest of MAGA up on Capitol Hill, pull her out and put another woman in who will do and say anything you want for President Trump. 'The election wasn't stolen, he is Jesus, it’s only Trumpism going forward' — see where this lands us in midterms. I'm absolutely furious,” McCain added.
McCain's comments come after House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) earlier Wednesday joined other allies of former President Trump in pushing to remove Cheney from her post as House Republican conference chair. Scalise said he backed Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), a staunch supporter of Trump, for the position.
On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was reportedly caught on mic saying he has “had it” with Cheney, adding “I think she’s got real problems.”
Cheney is in hot water with some of her colleagues for repeatedly criticizing Trump as well as speaking up against his baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
McCain, a co-host on "The View," said Republicans are “shivving” Cheney for refusing to “debase herself” to Trump.
“They're shivving her for her going on television multiple times and saying that the election wasn't stolen, and for refusing to debase herself to Cheeto Jesus,” McCain said.
McCain went on to ask her co-hosts what they would do if they were in a situation where women, specifically like her and Cheney, “are being told you are irrelevant, what you believe is garbage and, by the way, you have to believe in a lie to be accepted in this party. What do you do?”
She said the message being sent by Republicans in Congress is that “women like me and Liz Cheney, who refused to bend the knee to President Trump but still remain loyal Republicans, we don't have a place in this party, we are worthless, we are not worth fighting for to keep.”
McCain also looked ahead to the 2022 midterms, calling Republicans’ strategy “the most asinine politics I’ve seen in a really, really long time, in a cacophony of asinine politics.”
She said instead of focusing on actions Biden has taken to expand government, GOP lawmakers are going to “bloodlet the party from women like me, college-educated women that lost you the election in the first place.”
She added that the Cheney saga is an example of the GOP once again “doubling down that Trump is the future,” even though that strategy lost them four Senate seats in the 2020 election.
“This is now the Republican Party versus Democracy. That’s why you’re upset today, because you know that’s true,” co-host Joy Behar said to McCain.
“I do know that’s true,” McCain responded.
“This is a good morning for you because you should feel very good about the midterms going forward, because we're gonna lose this thing if this is the direction they're going,” she added.
Top allies of McCarthy have signaled that Cheney will not be House GOP Conference Chairwoman by the end of the month, as Republicans are becoming increasingly frustrated with her repeatedly undermining the party’s message and efforts to win back the control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections.
On Wednesday, however, Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler said in a statement to The Hill that “This is about much more than a House leadership fight.”
“Liz will have more to say in the coming days," he added
Precisely, this is just to fool people into voting for Bush League Republicans again.
It was just Feb. that 145 voted to keep her.
I think the best thing would be for those two to start their own party. I’m sure they could get the likes of Flake, Romney, et al to join them.
I’m undecided about recommending a chicken or a shrew as their new party mascot, although their party color would be pink.
What is she threatening to do? Eat all the mash potatoes and cake at the buffet?
The threat seems to be to get her ample panties in a bunch and sit out 2022. Never Trumpers love to go AWOL and throw elections to progressive Democrats.
Harpy Fat-Ass threatens to destroy the world.
News at 11.
Maybe Meghan will go on a hunger strike. And bankrupt the food industry.

Sadly, many GOP voters will be duped by this bit of theater. Always have been. Always would be. Cheney will almost certainly keep her seat because the GOP base is just not ruthless enough to remove her.
Steve King was removed from committees for far less than what Lizard has done. McCarthy needs to do that at a minimum. Anything less is swamp kabuki.
Meghan McCain...as crazy as her old man. It is hilarious how crazed she is here. She night explode like The Hindenburg...
Or the McCains may not invite you to the 1156th day of her father’s funeral tributes.
”Shut up, Meg.”
How is it that this woman has a say in anything. All she has accomplished has been to get fat.
The previous RINO generation has handed the baton to the inbred-idiot second generation.
She’s a fat retard.
“’...I promise you there will be consequences, one way or another there’s going to be consequences,’ McCain said...”
The consequences are that this is just the START of the RINO PURGE. Romney is next, I hope!
Get used to it, Sweetheart. ‘We The People’ have HAD IT!
Hey Donut Girl...GO AWAY and attend to your nice husband.
The old royalty protecting their yesterdays.
She’s threatening to blow herself up by eating two boxes of donuts?
This “woman” is going to be playing bocce ball with her own turds at Pleasant Acres Home very shortly.
The consequences will be a win for us. Cheney sides with Pelosi and the democrats. She’s in the wrong party.
Me-again and Lizzy are birds of a feather... not a single accomplishment other than clinging desperately to their Daddy’s coattails.
“What do you do?”
Kill yourself.
