Matt Rosendale, Andy Biggs Call for Liz Cheney’s Ouster as House GOP Conference Chair for Supporting Impeachment

Biggs said that Cheney’s attacks against the president undermined the president’s ability to win back the House.

“Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK. #realmenwearmasks,” Cheney wrote, tweeting a picture of former Vice President Dick Cheney, using the same phrase that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) used to attack the...
