House Republican conference chair Liz Cheney has been from her post of conference chair after a voice vote by party members. Cheney was removed from the position for refusing to buy into Donald Trump's stance that the 2020 election was stolen from him, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-republicans-vote-liz-cheney-s-future-leadership-rebuking-trump-n1266992?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ma">NBC News</a> reports. During the 20-minute closed-door meeting on Wednesday, Cheney was voted out of her post after telling her party members: "We cannot let the former president drag us backward and make us complicit in his efforts to unravel our democracy. Down that path lies our destruction, and potentially the destruction of our country. "We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it's very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution." <img class="wp-image-1263107438 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/RKJG61-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: The Photo Access / Alamy]] After the vote, Cheney vowed to do everything in her power to ensure Trump never gets near the Oval Office ever again. She's expected to be replaced in her former role by Representative Elise Stefanik of New York. Stefanik was famously a one-time Trump critic, before becoming a Trump loyalist. It wasn't long before Trump hit out at Cheney following the removal from her post. The former POTUS wrote in his personal <a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/desk/desk-au8zr963cu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog post</a>: "Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party. She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our country. She is a talking point for Democrats, whether that means the border, the gas lines, inflation, or destroying our economy." <img class="size-large wp-image-1263107572" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/Screenshot-2021-05-12-at-15.25.04-1024x410.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="410" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: donaldjtrump.com]] Bringing in her father, former vice president Dick Cheney, Trump went on: "She is a warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our great military, the worst decision in our country’s history. I look forward to soon watching her as a paid contributor on CNN or MSDNC!" Prior to the vote, Trump headed over to his personal blog - From The Desk of Donald J. Trump - to hit out at Cheney as he urged party members to vote her out. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263107573" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/Screenshot-2021-05-12-at-15.25.14-1024x337.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="337" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: donaldjtrump.com]] In the <a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/desk/desk-qarwnutq8e/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog post</a>, he wrote: "The Republicans in the House of Representatives have a great opportunity today to rid themselves of a poor leader, a major Democrat talking point, a warmonger, and a person with absolutely no personality or heart. "As a representative of the Great State of Wyoming, Liz Cheney is bad for our Country and bad for herself. Almost everyone in the Republican Party, including 90% of Wyoming, looks forward to her ouster—and that includes me!" <h6>Featured image credit: SOPA Images Limited / Alamy</h6>
