House Republicans, divided and angry, meet to decide fate of Liz Cheney and Marjorie Taylor Greene

WASHINGTON – When House Republicans meet Wednesday, they'll be at odds over what to do about Liz Cheney and Marjorie Taylor Greene, controversial figures representing the two wings of an increasingly fractured party.

But the closed-door gathering also could reveal a lot more about the direction of a party openly warring with itself while charting a future without Donald Trump in the White House but very much on GOP voters' minds.

Denver Riggleman, a former Virginia GOP congressman who lost reelection last year to a more conservative Republican, told USA TODAY Tuesday he fears the party will have a hard time shaking off Trump.

So he expects that Cheney who voted to impeach Trump could be in trouble despite her deeply conservative credentials, while Greene will get off with no more than a rap on the knuckles because of her allegiance to the president and his claims the Nov. 3 election was stolen.

They'll make the crazy QAnon lady minority leader.

& proceed to vote straight D every damned time to undermine every shitty Qpolicy they vote on.
If we gained a couple flips we'd have a super majority & could shut the Qs up for 4 years.

A back-at-ya sort of Coup.

Liz can ride it out.
So can Murkowski.

It’s a new party now. They’re destroying their sane people and rewarding their loons.

The republican party left the realm of conservative a long time ago.
