It was an expected outcome for Cheney, who went from party star and heir to a conservative dynasty to a political outcast.

“Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

Rep. Liz Cheney read text messages the former chief of staff received during the siege, urging him to get the former president to tell his supporters to leave the Capitol.

Cheney’s ouster, which was widely expected, marks the end of her rise in the Republican Party — an ascent that began shortly after her election to the House in 2016.

Stefanik’s rise in today’s Republican Party has relied in part on her rejection of the establishment conservative credentials that got her to this moment.

“Trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work — confidence in the result of elections and the rule of law.”

Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House, had come under fire from many in her party following her vote to impeach Trump.
