Democrat Front Organization "The Dispatch" Forced to Admit That Their Neocon Witch Liz Cheney Is Toxic in the GOP

But who knows, maybe not so toxic as a Democrat-funded spoiler candidate, which is all these guys are ever interested in.

"I think that our message is unity," said House GOP conference vice chair Mike Johnson.

Many of those in attendance here voiced that tagline repeatedly. But it's far from the reality. It didn't take much probing to make it clear that, despite public assurances of a unified front against the Biden administration, deep fissures remain in the House GOP conference.

...

When The Dispatch asked House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy if he will campaign enthusiastically for the third-ranking House Republican, Liz Cheney, in her re-election race, he demurred. "I haven't talked to her about it," he said....

When we asked Johnson, the No. 4 House Republican, whether reelecting Cheney will be a critical moment for the future of the GOP, he said: "Oh, we all have our own races to run, I don't know about that." And when we asked Gary Palmer, the No. 7 House Republican, about Trump's ongoing antagonism toward Cheney, he said: "I'm not going to--as policy chairman--let the media try to divide us by bringing in issues relative to any other member of Congress, or to the former president."

On the other hand, Mitch McConnnell, who was just reelected and will probably never run for office again, supported his fellow Democrat plant.

McCarthy's tense relationship with Cheney contrasts sharply with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's view of her role in the Republican Party. "Liz Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them," McConnell told CNN in February. "She is an important leader in our party and in our nation. I am grateful for her service and look forward to continuing to work with her on the crucial issues facing our nation."

The liberal wing of the GOP always shows its "courage" the exact same way: Defying actual conservative voters in order to impress their leftwing Cocktail Circuit-goers and future employers.

But actual conservatives have noticed this, and have further noticed that they are now spending 90% of their political capital in spurning and openly attacking the voters.

And we're done with that.

And unless the GOP stops acting as the Democrat Party's kapos, we're done with the GOP.
