undermining their message they are a big tent party, putting them in the situation where they are going after two of their own. it is a year, almost a year after they ousted liz cheney from leadership and all of the attention was on the internal republican vision. they want to be talking about biden and policy heading into the midterms. then they just had to come and really kind of take this move that was meant to appeal to more of the trump base. and so there are some who say, the freedom caucus members, they wish there was more done to take actions against cheney and kinzinger including kicking them out of conference. but a lot of the members that i talked to sort of gave tepid responses like why do we have to do that? and the ones who sort of threaded the needle was when i said can you respond to this and i got a flat no. which, you know, at least they re telling you instead of using a bunch of word salad to say it. if you re going to try to find the silver lining on that. mark, l
