"I believe that we ought to embrace the spirit and style of President Trump." Rep. Gaetz Remarked
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., will host President Donald Trump's supporters at a rally on Thursday in Wyoming, the home state of House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney, after she voted to impeach Trump.
Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House, voted along with nine other members of the House GOP to impeach Trump over the Capitol riot, saying that he "summoned," "assembled," and "lit the flame of this attack," adding: "There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."
"I have a competing vision for Republicanism," Gaetz remarked to reporters earlier this week, according to CNN. "I believe that we ought to embrace the spirit and style of President Trump."
He added that as House GOP Conference Chair, Cheney's "principal job" is to "carry the message" of her colleagues in the conference.
"Most of the members of the Republican conference don't believe that Liz Cheney speaks for them," Gaetz said.
"I subsided referencing folks by name for about a day or two," he continued. "But after Liz became more, I think, problematic in her divergence from the perspective of the conference, it became untenable not to identify her as the key internal resistance within the Republican party to the American First Vision."
According to CNN, a source in Cheney's office dismissed the rally as a publicity stunt, saying: "Rep. Gaetz can leave his beauty bag at home. In Wyoming, the men don't wear makeup
