Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is calling for the ouster of his colleague, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), due to her unloyalty to Donald Trump.
According to The American Independent, Gaetz wants Cheney to step down from her role as chair of the House Republican Conference because she isn’t loyal enough to Trump.
“Liz Cheney has worked behind the scenes (and now in public) against @realDonaldTrump and his agenda. House Republicans deserve better as our Conference Chair. Liz Cheney should step down or be removed,” Gaetz tweeted on Tuesday.
Gaetz ended his tweet with the hashtag #MAGA.

According to Politico, Gaetz, along with a handful of other Republican lawmakers, were angry at Cheney for backing a primary opponent to Rep. Thomas Massie.
Donald Trump Jr. also joined in attacking Cheney.
“We already have one Mitt Romney, we don’t need another… we also don’t need the endless wars she advocates for,” Trump Jr. tweeted.

Last I checked we were in a Democracy, not a Dictatorship or an Authoritarianship. But I guess these guys haven’t caught on to that.
