Kevin McCarthy Smiling House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will host a fundraiser next week for Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) opponent, Harriet Hageman.
McCarthy will be joined by nearly 100 Republican members who support Hageman’s bid to oust “warmonger” Cheney, Henry Rodgers of the Daily Caller first reported. The fundraiser will be held at the Washington, DC, home of Jeff Miller, a prominent lobbyist who supported McCarthy’s rise to House speaker.
According to Punchbowl News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Jim Banks (R-ID), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), and David Bossie will co-host the event, among others. “Needless to say, the number of sitting House Republicans who are lining up against Cheney is quite stunning,” the outlet noted .
McCarthy’s announced his stunning endorsement of Hageman in February. Party leaders typically rarely endorse against sitting members of Congress. But after Cheney deserted the Republican party by allying herself with Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee and reportedly “orchestrated unprecedented” Republican sabotage , McCarthy presumably believed Cheney must be ousted from her seat.

McCarthy’s decision to support Hageman mirrors the overall criticism of Cheney. “Liz Cheney has lost Wyoming. Liz Cheney doesn’t live in Wyoming. She doesn’t represent us,” Hageman told Breitbart News in January. “She doesn’t represent our values.”
Cheney, who has constantly backed the establishment’s status quo, has dramatically fallen out of favor with Republicans. In May, Cheney was removed as GOP conference chair after the Republican caucus held a no-confidence vote upon reaching a boiling point with […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
