On the morning of Wednesday, May 12, House Republicans voted to remove Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming from her role as Conference Chair, the third highest-ranking GOP position in the chamber.

The reason for her removal was easy to identify. In recent weeks, Cheney has become a vocal critic of Donald Trump's "big lie" the election was stolen from him.


Although Cheney is standing up for the easily demonstrable truth, many Republicans, seeing Trump's continued popularity among their base even after being voted out of office, have taken to parroting the former President's lies.

One of the earliest Republicans to abandon the facts in favor of Trump's delusional narrative was Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, who attempted to have Cheney voted out of her position all the way back in February. Coming just shortly after the January 6 insurrection, many Republicans were still critical of President Trump and his vote failed by a wide margin.

His stunt was made fun of at the time by Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

Of course, all Gaetz had to do was wait a few months.

After the shock of Trump's attempted coup faded into history, many Republicans have begun to wholeheartedly support him once again.

Besides, even following the insurrection, many of these Republicans still voted to throw out the 2020 election results which investigations have shown to be perfectly legitimate.

After Cheney was voted out of her leadership position, Gaetz returned to Kinzinger's burn to throw some well-timed shade.

However, Kinzinger wasn't going to let Gaetz get the last word.

Referencing the investigations into Gaetz's alleged sex trafficking of a minor (a charge that has not affected his standing within Republican leadership), Kinzinger gave the Florida Republican some free advice.


Twitter couldn't stop laughing at Kinzinger's perfect zinger.



Kinzinger has been a vocal Trump critic for some time.

He was one of the 10 Republicans who crossed party lines to vote for the former President's impeachment following the January 6 insurrection.



Cheney's removal from GOP leadership is a very ominous event in American democracy.

It indicates in the mainstream Republican party, there's no place for politicians who are willing to accept a legitimate election loss.


At least we got this unforgettable burn out of the whole situation.


Although standing up for the obvious, verified truth is a pretty low bar to clear, it seems there are very few Republicans who are willing to do it.

But Adam Kinzinger is one of them.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
