GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz took blistering aim at colleague Liz Cheney over her shrill and vocal attacks on former President Trump, in particular her decision to vote for impeachment.
Gaetz traveled to Cheney’s home district in Wyoming and delivered an impassioned condemnation of her behavior as well as going on to encourage republicans to vote her out of office.
As The Hill reports:
Hundreds gathered outside the Capitol in Cheyenne, where the Florida Republican railed against the No. 3 Republican in the House just one day after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) called on members of the conference to stop attacking each other as divisions in the party become increasingly more evident in the post-Trump era…
“Our battle is no longer just Republican vs. Democrat, it’s not just red team versus blue team. Absolutely not — we’ve got to put America first. Those are the old battles of yesteryear. But people have always come to the great frontiers of Wyoming to win the future — that’s why I’m here,” he said in his speech.
“Liz Cheney is a lot like Congress — deeply unpopular and owned by special interests,” he added. “She’s taken more money from PACs than people. She works for them, not you.”
Gaetz repeatedly slammed her foreign policy stances, alleging she supports endless wars, calling her a globalist, and accusing her of being beholden to special interests.
Gaetz’s attack on Cheney comes as fissures have continued to form within the Republican party itself over the events of January 6th and the ensuing fallout, with anti-Trump Republicans like Cheney seeming to be on the losing end of the conflict.
Was Gaetz right to tell Republican voters to vote Cheney and those like her out of office over her anti-Trump views? Or are his actions needlessly divisive in a time when Republicans should be united in opposing the radical actions of a Biden Presidency?

Matt Gaetz, I love you and i think you should run for President you know how to get things done. I would support you with all my heart.
He will be a top contender in the future, that is for sure. We need many young leaders like Matt to build our movement.
I agree completely! Cheney needs to go – expire, whatever! a REAL PI9LE OF DUNG!
There are two TURN-COAT RINOS in Michigan that need to go: Peter Meijer (newly elected), and Fred Upton who has been in office for way too long (Term Limits!). They both voted for Pres. Trump’s Impeachment! Keep them in mind…
What movement
Gaetz 2024, IF Trump doesn;t wanna run again.
Maybe Kristi Noam for President in 2024. She will then run against Kamala Harris. Gaetz could be her VP.
That works too!!
I love that idea. She’s a rock star as well.
And beautiful to boot.
Beauty is not a well founded asset to be President and if that’s all you’ve got , well ?
Love her, love her
I agree 💯
Gaetz is right on!! The Rinos need to get out of our party!!
They are planted there by nasty democrats.
Spies one and all .
Absolutely, RINOs OUT OF OF CONGRESS. I have vowed to stop donating to GOP, because of RINOs. Clean up their act, and I will donate again. Thanks to Trump, the RINOs have been flushed out as to who they really are. WE THE PEOPLE are the ones in charge. They work for us.
Same here, no money until the Rhino’s are OUT.
Should be Rino’s, oops 😬
Same here, also. I have emailed the RNC about my choice and decision, but have not heard anything from them. Perhaps if all of us who feel this way would email, text, or even write a letter, the RNC might get the message.
I have emailed my senator and the RNC and told them that they won’t get any of my money until I see that they are working for us.
Couldn’t agree more. The party…even the good ones were lazy letting Trump do all the work but the rhinos made it worse. We can’t let our country continue the pathway of communism. 42 executive orders in 10 days making a mockery of America now …that’s what we got. It’s stand up or just comply!?
It’s time to take off the gloves. Fight on our terms not theirs.
Same here. I donated to a few Republicans and now they have betrayed the cause. I am done with the donations.
I contacted them and told them the same thing. I also wrote stop on all their money request via text. that got reactions real soon. I was able to air out and told them if money is their priority I am out until the get serious and FIGHT.
I agree…we need to vote all RINOs out in 2022..they ALL need to be exposed…they are the ones causing division among the Republican and Conservaties alike…I am a conservative and vote mainly Republican…I may for vote for the man, not the party in local elections…but state and government..is Republican.
Thumbs UP
Trump hasn’t started any wars in four years. Liz Cheney is hacked off because her pocket money has been stopped, as a result, from Halliburton, her Dad’s company, who had a large share of the rebuilding contracts in Iraq – twice. So if Congress isn’t bombing and laying waste other countries, there are no rebuilding contracts available for Halliburton to pick up. QED. That’s why she opposes President Trump at every opportunity. That’s politics for you.
that explains it all thank you
Thanks Henry that does explain her hatred of Trump.
Your QED goes past most readers if not all , isn’t it a little pretentious ?
Isn’t it a little pretentious to assume QED goes past most readers???
Are you pretentious for using the word “pretentious?”
Liz Cheney needs a swift kick from her horse….
