House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) said some GOP congressmen are “concerned” about Representative Liz Cheney’s (R., Wyo.) ability to fulfill her leadership position, in comments to Fox News on Tuesday.
“There’s no concern about how she voted on impeachment. That decision has been made,” McCarthy said. “I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair to carry out the message.”
As chairwoman of the House GOP conference, Cheney is the third-highest ranking Republican in the House.
“We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority,”

Our House minority leader Kevin McCarthy was just fine with Trump-hating, Matt Gaetz bashing and conservative mocking Liz Cheney until she publicly challenged HIM. He is now afraid of her. Therefore, we see him making noises to oust her.
Never forget. Kevin McCarthy lives with Frank Luntz - best buddies in a simple rental arrangement we are told. As Tucker says, a mighty odd situation with plentiful DC beautiful rentals now readily available.
Luntz works for Democrat lobbyists AND as the go to person for Republican messaging advice by McCarthy. Kevin is on the same side of political values as Rep. Liz Cheney. She simply lets it show publicly!

Who put Cheney in a leadership role to begin with?

She is perfect to carry out leadership roles for Democrats and Trump Haters. Mitch is putting her up to all of her antics. Rove is her senior advisor. AOC is her heroine and role model.

Cheney is a big time globalist establishment and UniParty Republican, did you see her run over to essentially kiss Biden’s ring as he entered the Congressional chamber the other evening to give his do-called Joint Session of Congress speech, to a chamber in actuality that was well over half empty, with most Congress critters present being leftist or liberal Democrats, the wimpy Republican leadership, and of course all the RINOS. That action by Cheney should tell even the wimpy Republicans where Cheney stands politically.

McCarthy is some kind of a bad joke. A total failure. The fact that this weak-kneed, totally inept, gutless “leader” is running the Republican Party tells you a lot about this rino, worthless, two-faced party. He needs to go before Chevy. As long as he’s there, there is no voice, no opposition, no chance of getting our country back. None! If Trump can’t figure that out, he’s dead meat too. This whole thing is ludicrous. Nancy Pelosi is a terrorist! McCarthy is Mr. Peppers! That’s why everyday we hear and see things occurring that are Inconceivable, Unbelievable, and UpsideDown. And we wonder why the country is in a free fall??? Get rid of this clown!!!

I wonder if the RNC and related RNCC / RNSC ever give some thought to the reason they are getting no response to their aggressive "beg for money" might be people like Cheney, Romney, Merkowski, and Collins--all proudly trying to replace McCain as the maverick.
I have no interest in sending the RNC money to redistribute to the likes of these non-team RINO's

Kevin McCarthy - Mr. Asleep at the Wheel. Liz Cheney should not have been in a leadership position in the first place and you had opportunity previously to get her out. Why now?

How about "concerned about her worthless political viewpoint" which is angering a whole lot of actual Republicans?
Leadership from a Republican? Tell me when there last was any? I can't remember that far back, other than Trump and his folks.

Tucker Carlson reports that Frank Luntz and Kevin McCarthy are roomies. Last night on his TV show. That puts a whole different shade to Frankie Babes!

Note to #17. Put all the junk mail that you can fit in those postage paid Republican envelopes AND then mail them back. It's almost fun to do it that way!

Agree w/ #1 on Liz; and wonder if she's got a hand in on smearing Kevin McC--because it is based upon sleazy innuendo, and it does stink. Liz is not impugning Lunz-they're on the same side.
Setting aside what complaints may well be valid against McC--this should not be one of them.
In my experience, the major coastal cities East and West are high-demand destinations.
These rent-a-room arrangements for transcontinental commuters are common, fairly informal, and innocent.
There are people who effectively have kitted out their guest room w/ a micro and mini-fridge---and a schedule.
People are begging for these little nests. They're not allowed into the rest of the home.
Trusted commuters may supplement their payments to keep the pied-a-terre available w/ some small contributions or gifts that the owner would appreciate.
Some digs are more lavish. That is all the more reason Not to allow unknown quantities into your home, as a 'rental customer'. I wouldn't do it. Yet, I would open my house to a friend in need, gratis.
As such, there must be some level of trust or understanding, and shared friendships, to support and justify the risk of such a relationship.
We're not talking bordello of blood here, frenz.
IMHO, Some folks could do with a clean and tidy of their dirty minds, political scheming, and malicious tongues.

They should get rid of McCarthy while they're at it. He's only "turned on" lizard to save himself.
