Summary

In a move that may signal the beginning of the end of the Republican Party as presently constituted, Republican representatives vote to oust Congresswoman Liz Cheney from her leadership position because she refuses to adhere to The Big Lie and refuses to pledge allegiance to The Big Liar. There is no reasonable argument that ousting Rep. Cheney for telling the truth will EXPAND the Republican base or attract new voters to the Republican Party. So, rather than try to attract new voters with . . . policies, Republicans seek to win future elections by passing voter suppression laws. Here is why the Republicans will fail and why today's self-inflicted wound is a turning point for our nation.

So, let's talk about what the Republican Party did to itself today, and how years from

now, we may look back on this day and realize that it was actually an important turning

Hey all, Glenn Kirschner here.

So let's talk for just a minute about what the Republican Party did to itself today.

Today's self-inflicted wound.

0:49.1

Now I am not a political analyst and I don't even play one on TV, but I think we all know

0:55.7

enough about human nature to understand the consequences of what the Republican Party

1:02.0

just did by ousting Congresswoman Liz Cheney from her leadership position.

1:10.2

Now DC is my backyard, my stomping grounds.

1:13.8

I prosecuted cases in the courts of DC for decades, but I have to admit, the closest

1:21.2

I ever got to politics was when I had members of Congress, both the Senate and the House,

1:28.8

as victims and witnesses in my criminal cases.

1:32.7

And frankly, that's as close to politics as I ever wanted to get.

1:38.1

But you don't need to be a politician or politically savvy or politically plugged in to realize

1:46.3

that what the Republicans did today by ousting Liz Cheney because she refused to adhere

2:04.4

loud and clear that the truth is no longer welcome in the Republican Party.
