The purge of those not loyal to Donald Trump has begun.

From the article:

House Republicans have removed Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as conference chair in retaliation for her unyielding criticism of former President Donald Trump, his continued false claims of a stolen election, his role in the Jan. 6 riot and his future in the Republican Party.

"I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office," Cheney told reporters after her ouster, which was done by a voice vote.

The move marks the second time this year that Cheney faced a vote from her fellow House Republicans to remove her from her leadership position. But this time, she didn't have the support of top Republicans like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who openly endorses a candidate to supplant her.
