as the current president lays out a big vaccine rollout, author micah lewis. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the republican party appears to be preparing to undertake an ideological purge. they are signaling they want to essentially excommunicate from leadership their third-ranking member in the house and the only woman in congressional leadership, congresswoman liz cheney of wyoming. she is on the outs because she has failed to carry the party line on what is increasingly the most important issue inside that party and that movement, that donald trump actually won the 2020 presidential election. now, what makes this strange on a number of levels is that this is actually not an ideological question. it is a factual one. and the factual answer is, no, donald trump did not win the election. he lost the election. and so republicans are talking about punishing liz cheney for the equivalent of saying two plus two equals four or neil ar
