The Issue: House Republicans\u2019 vote to remove Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are these Republicans thinking (\u201cMc\u00adCarthy boosting Stefanik,\u201d May 10)?<\/p>\n

Some of their comments about the 2020 election and, more importantly, COVID and the vaccines, are off the wall.<\/p>\n

Why do they think something is wrong with Rep. Liz Cheney just because she criticized former President Donald Trump?<\/p>\n

A growing number of level-headed GOP members are turning away from his vitriol, especially after the fiasco at the Capitol. Many Americans who supported Trump turned away because of his reactions during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Wake up, GOP: You\u2019re losing it. <\/p>\n

Sam King<\/em><\/p>\n

Good-bye, Liz. You might be conservative, but you lack common sense.<\/p>\n

You know that Joe Biden was a failed, 47-year politician, and his campaign was a joke. He picked the worst, most liberal vice president in history.<\/p>\n

Democratic Party voters didn\u2019t want Joe during the primary until Rep. James Clyburn dragged Biden over the finish line in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

All of former President Donald Trump\u2019s successful, pro-America policies are quickly disapp<\/a>earing, making America last.<\/p>\n

The \u201cbig lie\u201d is when Biden said he\u2019ll be a uniter and instead has been the most un-American, social<\/a>ist puppet ever to occupy the White House. <\/p>\n

JR Cummings<\/em><\/p>\n

Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n

By removing Cheney from her House GOP leadership position, Republicans have concluded the redefining of what it truly means to be a Republican.<\/p>\n

More and more, they have become the party of hypocrisy, bigotry, racism and (most important) slayers of the democracy. They downplay Jan. 6, coddle the \u201cbig lie\u201d and support the leader of the insurrection against our government.<\/p>\n

If the truth will set you free, then Republicans will be trapped in a purgatory of their own creation until they understand that the only way out is to change partners after dancing with the devil for way too long. <\/p>\n

Bob Bascelli<\/em><\/p>\n

It is an unfortunate fact of history that leaders who stop catastrophes before they happen usually get no credit (\u201cCheney\u2019s op-ed DC twist,\u201d May 8).<\/p>\n

After reading Juliegrace Brufke\u2019s article on Rep. Liz Cheney\u2019s country-before-career actions these last few months, I began to wonder just how close to the edge our democracy walked during the last election.<\/p>\n

Perhaps if Trump had faced less pushback, he really would have found a legal justification for using full powers of the executive branch, including the military, to challenge and ultimately deny the legitimacy of election results.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the letter Cheney helped put together from 10 former secretaries of defense, warning military personnel that they would be held legally accountable for any election-interfering activities, really did help keep the military on the sidelines during the nation\u2019s election disputes.<\/p>\n

If so, Cheney deserves a medal, not a demotion.<\/p>\n

Zephyr Dorsey<\/em><\/p>\n

The American nation was formed on principles. Two of the most important were free speech and representative government.<\/p>\n

Our elected officials\u2019 job is to represent the people in their district. They are not supposed to have blind allegiance to a political party.<\/p>\n

The current Republican Party is clearly intent on removing any of its members who exhibit the slightest degree of independence.<\/p>\n

It does not matter if they come from a family with strong Republican roots, like Cheney or Sen. Mitt Romney.<\/p>\n

Alan Podhaizer<\/em><\/p>\n

Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n

House Republicans voted to demote Liz Cheney, but it\u2019s up to her constituents whether she keeps her House seat in 2022.<\/p>\n

And even though I disagree with Cheney\u2019s ranting about Trump, I do believe in free speech. What is good for one is good for all.<\/p>\n
