Prominent conservative outlet National Review’s editors defended Rep. Liz Cheney
“Indeed, Cheney is being accused of distracting from the fight against Biden when some Trump supporters have displayed more passion about taking her out than opposing Biden’s $6 trillion agenda. If Cheney’s enemies think we should be talking about Biden and not Trump, they’ve certainly picked a funny way to show it,” the editors wrote.
Cheney, the House Republican Conference chairwoman, is in danger of losing her spot as the third most powerful Republican in the lower chamber, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy

“I’ve always liked Liz Cheney, but she’s made a determination that the Republican Party can’t grow with President Trump. I’ve determined we can’t grow without him.”
Graham added that the GOP is making inroads with minorities due to Trump’s “economic populism” and “America First agenda.”
“If you don’t get that, you’re making the biggest mistake in the history of the Republican Party,” Graham said.
The comments come as the GOP grapples with Trump’s role in the party going forward.
Graham, a longtime ally of Trump, previously told Axios on HBO” that Trump could either make the GOP “bigger” and “stronger” or that he could “destroy it.”
