Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Sunday said that her state Republican Party was “mistaken” in its motion to censure her over her vote to impeach former President Trump and denied plans to resign amid backlash from Trump loyalists.
Did they really use their elected positions to openly defame one of their own?
Seems like this goes right to defamation of character.
You censure people for acts of treachery and crimes, not for disagreeing with you politically.
Whoever motivated those Wyoming lawmakers to use their majority to attack Liz Cheney personally probably weren’t lawyers.
If they were, they should be disbarred right along with the civil lawsuits she has now against each of them personally. Censure. abused as a form of personal revenge, isn’t censure if there’s no reason for it but political disagreement. It becomes a personal insult and outright defamation of character.
Whoever conjured up this misuse of elected power and organized the rest of them should get sued very publicly, it wasn’t a legal act of censure, it was just a mean-spirited misuse of the trust the voters put into these people. Let a jury decide if I’m right.
The Wyoming GQP censured the patriot who voted to impeach a lawless “president” who inspired a putsch to seize power and end our Republic. They applaud the traitor Trump for doing it.
“We need to make sure that we as Republicans are the party of truth and that we’re being honest about what really did happen in 2020 so we actually have a chance to win in 2022 and win the White House back in 2024,” Cheney said.
I’m not sure they really wanna go there: it does open the question of why they’ve lied to their voters for all these many years.
Cheney implored Republicans to ensure that the GOP is “the party of truth” in order to flip more seats in next year’s midterm elections as well as the 2024 presidential race.
