| When House Republicans meet Wednesday, it will ostensibly be to decide the fate of Liz Cheney and Marjorie Taylor Greene , controversial figures representing the two wings of an increasingly fractured party. Cheney, the GOP Conference chair from Wyoming and third most powerful House Republican, faces scorching backlash from loyalists to former President Donald Trump who argue she should no longer be part of leadership, given her vote to impeach Trump over the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Greene, the pro-Trump freshman from Georgia, has drawn furor for her continued claims the election was stolen from Trump and recently unearthed social media posts that showed her “liking” calls for violence against prominent Democrats, describing school shootings as staged and conspiracy theories about space lasers causing deadly wildfires. Experts say the results of the closed-door gathering could reveal a lot more about the direction of a party openly warring with itself. To this point, Republicans have remained mostly mum while Democrats called for Greene to be censured, removed from her committee and even ousted from Congress. | ||
