George W. Bush Wades into GOP Civil War as Matt Gaetz Stirs Wyoming Revolt [View all]

Former Republican President George W. Bush waded into the escalating GOP civil war over Donald Trump's impeachment on Friday after Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida rallied to defeat Liz Cheney in her hometown of Wyoming.
As the Republican party grapples with its future under President Joe Biden, the GOP civil war has intensified after 10 members voted in favor of impeaching Trump for allegedly inciting the deadly insurrection on January 6. Bush spoke out one day after Gaetz rallied to defeat Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the lower chamber who joined nine others in voting to impeach.
Freddy Ford, Bush's chief of staff, told CNN Friday that the former Republican president isn't "thinking about the next election cycle yet," but said that he's "planning to call VP Cheney tomorrow for two reasons: to wish him a happy 80th birthday, and to thank him for his daughter's service."
The show of support comes as Cheney faces mounting GOP criticism over her "vote of conscience" to impeach, with several Trump allies in the House calling on her to resign from her leadership role for breaking with the Republican party.

Strange times when I find myself favoring Chimpy over the dotard. The Republicans got to quit lowering the bar.
