authorizing pfizer s vaccine for 12 to 15-year-olds. we will have more on that as we begin the hour. but for now we will talk about what s emanating from mar-a-lago. house minority leader kevin mccarthy formally identified they will vote to dump liz cheney from leadership. as we noted before, the lie has consumed the gop. just look at what happened with republicans in virginia, where an exceedingly bizarre and trump-infused convention ended up having to choose a gubernatorial nominee in glen young kin, who found himself campaigning on the issue of election integrity. and he s one of the republicans who refuses to say if biden won the election legitimately. biden got youngkin s approval today. but more is coming about the conspiracy by the hour some days which makes this letter to the caucus about ousting cheney that much more remarkable. in it mccarthy said this about cheney, quote, each day spent relitigating the past is one day less we have to seize the future. it s a cle
