Representative Liz Cheney was removed Wednesday from her leadership position among House Republicans. She was ousted as conference chair in a voice vote by House GOP members shortly after their closed-door meeting came to order, and the meeting was adjourned within 20 minutes.
After the vote, Cheney told reporters that she will do everything I can to make sure the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office. She faced the ouster from her leadership post for openly criticizing Mr. Trump. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language, Cheney said about the former president. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it s very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution.
On Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier Wednesday night, Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech discussed the Biden administration’s immigration changes, harping on the double standard with the left saying illegal immigrants are in “compassionate human holding facilities” at the border, whereas President Trump’s similar practice elicited the term “cages.”
“Every administration has taken children who are brought to the border, who are disconnected from their family, and they have held them in place in order to figure out legally where they are supposed to go, where they are supposed to be placed,” Domenech said. “That’s something that’s happened under every administration and yet, under Donald Trump, it became a human rights violation, as you heard Kamala Harris saying. How quickly we go back to ‘compassionate human holding facilities. ”
