WSJ Board: If The GOP Deposes Cheney But Does Nothing About Greene, They Deserve Minority Status

From the Wall Street Journal‘s editorial board:

A few dozen backbenchers want to depose Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from the House leadership for voting to impeach Donald Trump. Other Members are concerned about the high public profile of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a freshman Member from Georgia with kooky views. If the House GOP punishes Ms. Cheney while saying nothing about Ms. Greene, it will deserve a longer time in the wilderness.

Ms. Cheney should get credit for daring to stand alone despite the political risks. The Trumpians are vowing to defeat her in a primary in 2022, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Trump acolyte, flew to a rally in Cheyenne last week to stir up opposition. If bowing before all things Trump is the litmus test for being a loyal Republican, the party should get used to continued losses in the suburbs.
