Other things that have been raised in discussions of miss greene are not going to go anywhere unless Republican Leadership dec
Ties to extremists linked to the insurrection at the capitol still has room for liz cheney, a conservative stalwart, who had the audacity to hold donald trump accountable for the incitement of the riots in january 6th. Also on the line today, who will have the fortitude to go on the record against the real threat, a Conspiracy Theorist in its own ranks. Right now the republican conference is behind the closed doors ahead on a vote tomorrow to remove congresswoman greene from her Committee Appointments. A woman who is dubious about whether the attacks on 9 11 were real, endorsed calls to assassinate barack obama, nancy pelosi, and hillary clinton. House Republican Leaders Kevin Mccarthy, for one, is reportedly feeling torn at this hour between cheney, a former State Department official, the daughter of conservative former Vice President dick cheney on one side, and a member of congress, Claire Mccaskill refers to as the q aknown lady.

Well get to both of those in a moment. The Daily Briefing comes after President Biden met with ten of the most moderately minded Senate Republicans, not necessarily an ideology but perhaps in tone last night at the white house. The that meeting they proposed a covid relief deal that they probably knew biden could not support and biden probably knew they wouldnt be able to stay united on that anyway.
