Before the House Republican Conference met Wednesday morning to oust the Wyoming congresswoman from her position as the third-ranking Republican member in Congress, sources told CNN they expected it to be quick. Sources told CNN that when she criticized Trump, she was booed by some of her colleagues. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke briefly and a voice vote was called. Because it was a voice vote, there is no tally of those who supported or opposed Cheney. Cheney told colleagues it was up to McCarthy, a California Republican, whether he wanted a voice vote or not "and Kevin asked for voice," the source said.
