Odds are that the erstwhile Republican party comrades of Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming will soon vote to purge her from the ranks of their leadership. So congressional Republicans, always reluctant to stand up against Trump and his supporters, are edging toward the view that Cheney must go. Republican critics of Cheney aren’t wrong, exactly, when they say she’s being divisive. It’s true that Liz Cheney is as deeply conservative as her father, the former vice-president under George W Bush. She now endorses Trump’s massive lie of a stolen election, and that negates anything else she has ever stood for.
