She’s Protected in the Republican Party.

Rep. Liz Cheney, under fire from former President Donald Trump and his staunchest defenders, is picking up support from some influential Republicans as her allies close ranks and resist the effort to oust her from the third-ranking spot in House GOP leadership.
On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was the latest Republican to give her a boost, saying in a statement to CNN that she had "the courage" to act on her convictions in the aftermath of her vote to impeach Trump last month on a charge he incited the deadly insurrection that ransacked Capitol Hill on January 6.
"Liz Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them," McConnell said. "She is an important leader in our party and in our nation. I am grateful for her service and look forward to continuing to work with her on the crucial issues facing our nation."

Not surprised.
The Swamp takes care of its own first.
Unlike you, you putz.
Oh wait - what convictions?
I don’t think Mitch holds much sway over the good people of Wyoming so it doesn’t matter what he says.
And she’s pretty much done politically to the base of the party and he knows it he’s just positioning her for a Kstreet lobbying job after she loses next year
Ditch has zer0 [like that Hussein guy] cred to be spending.
Sounds like a lukewarm, SOP type of a statement. Not what CNN claims.
Mitch is for any R who can get elected. And bring in the donations.
Believe them when they tell us who they are.
“Liz Cheney is a leader...”
Liz is a FOLLOWER of the Bush League GOPee.
Bush League Republicans fight hardest against conservatives.
Spare me the bull crap Mitch.
Her convictions aren't appropriate, and they don't match the convictions of her constituients.
Ttump should stiff the whole impeachment sham and tell them to shove it. Why legitimize the unconstitutional sham. Roberts gave him an out. He should give them the middle finger and screw them.
That won’t help her in Wyoming.
Keep digging McConnell. I’m hoping that some rich Freeper will buy you a back-hoe so you can dig faster and we can be rid of you sooner.
In DC, “having the courage of you convictions” means the check cleared.
That's not going to help her in Wyoming.
Everyone one of them need to be gone...
I’ll vote to keep my Repub governor in office, and any Repubs at the local level. I won’t bother to vote for any of these guys at the federal level. They have all, with only a handful of exceptions, thumbed their noses at us.
Two reptiles. A turtle and a lizard. All you need is a snake... Mitt the twit.
