Liz Cheney defends backing impeachment as defense of Constitution: 'I won't apologize for the vote':

House Republicans are voting by secret ballot Wednesday night on whether Rep. Liz Cheney can keep her post in House GOP leadership after she defended her support for impeachment vote as a vote of conscience during a contentious closed-door GOP conference meeting, a source with knowledge of process told CNN.

"I won't apologize for the vote," Cheney told the House Republican conference.

Cheney was one of a handful of House Republicans to cross party lines and vote to impeach former President Donald Trump for inciting the insurrection at the US Capitol that left five people dead.

Cheney delivered an eight-minute speech near the beginning of the meeting, two people in the room said, offering what was described as a calm yet firm defense of the Constitution. She did not apologize during her remarks.

makes me wonder if the original Impeachment 2 vote was ‘secret ballot’ if the vote to impeach would have been higher

I think way to many of the are just afraid of losing their jobs instead of standing up for what is the right thing to do.
