Graham on House Republican Conference Vote

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the House Republican Conference.

 “Congresswoman Liz Cheney has been a solid conservative and strong voice on national security. However, in my view, she has taken a position regarding former President Trump which is out of the mainstream of the Republican Party.

 “Today’s decision by the House Republican Conference regarding Congresswoman Cheney was not about her vote for impeachment. It was about her belief that President Trump should be purged from the Republican Party and those who objected to the results of the 2020 election should be disqualified from future leadership positions. As a result, the House Republican Conference has decided to move forward in a different direction. 

 “I am hoping the Republican Party will understand the biggest threat to conservatism is not Donald Trump, but the liberal agenda being pushed by the Biden Administration and their radical allies. Republicans must win in 2022 to save America from becoming a socialist nation and having all our institutions fundamentally changed by the liberal left.”
