US Rep. Liz Cheney never broke the rules while other Republican Representatives and Senators did exactly that in carrying forward anti-American priorities.

The only woman in Republican Senate leadership (click here) complained about cancel culture on Monday, regarding the imminent removal of Liz Cheney, the only woman in Republican House leadership, because she opposes Donald Trump’s big lie that the presidential election was stolen.

The Iowa senator Joni Ernst told reporters: “I feel it’s OK to go ahead and express what you feel is right to express and, you know, cancel culture is cancel culture no matter how you look at it.

Unfortunately, I think there are those that are trying to silence others in the party.”

“Cancel culture” has become a shibboleth of the modern Republican party, repeatedly invoked when public figures become embroiled in controversy regarding opinions or statements deemed to be racist, sexist or otherwise unacceptable....

There can't be two truths. The courts are weighing in on the activities of January 6, 2021 and finding the election of President Joe Biden was factual. There is no other truth. There is no basis to "The Big Lie." The Senators and Representatives that continue to state there was a big lie and/or Trump should be president are anti-American. They should not be holding a seat of power in either the US House or US Senate.

The only truth when spoken by a Republican must be met with complete support and acceptance of their willingness to stand up for the US Consitution. That is what US Rep. Cheney did as others in the US House. It is what US Senator Joni Earnst is doing. They are protecting the USA Constitution and fulfilling their oath of office.

According to Bulwark Editor-in-Chief Charlie Sykes, they have the right amount of intelligence and self-grandeur to pull it off....
