Jump to: navigation, search

Ten elitist and globalist House Republicans voted with Dems who vengefully impeached President Trump a second time, on January 13, 2021, less than seven days from the end of his first term. As of about a year later, 3 of the younger 10 subsequently announced they would not seek reelection, despite being in the prime of their career, and 6 out of the remaining 7 had Trump-endorsed primary opponents.[1] These RINOs were:[2]

  1. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming (heir to the neocon fortune of Dick Cheney from Halliburton)
  2. Subsequently quit Congress: Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan (heir to the Whirlpool Corporation fortune). Though only 68 years old, wealthy, and an 18-term entrenched incumbent, Upton announced on April 5, 2022, that he does not seek reelection.[3]
  3. Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan (heir to the Meijer big box chain store fortune) - conservative Tom Norton replied by challenging him in his 2022 primary.[4]
  4. Subsequently quit Congress: Rep. John Katko of New York (represents a district that Hillary Clinton carried by four points in 2016;[5] Katko backed legislation to allow biological men to compete as transgenders in women's sports[6][7])
  5. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington
  6. Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington (his wife "works at Kelly, Drye and Warren LLP in government relations, securing federal funding for clients"[8])
  7. Subsequently quit Congress: Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
  8. Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina (flip-flopped from his position two days earlier when he publicly said he did not support impeachment;[9] his wife owns a commercial real estate business). In South Carolina, a run-off is required when no candidate attains more than 50%, and runoffs favor a conservative challenger.
  9. Rep. David Valadao of California, the only one who does not (as of Feb. 20, 2022) have a Trump-endorsed primary opponent.[10]
  10. Subsequently quit Congress: Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois (hostile to free speech; co-sponsored with Democrats HR1154 to specifically condemn QAnon and "conspiracy theories"[11])

Also:

  • Comm. Jenniffer González Colon of Puerto Rico (not a congresswoman) (in committee she supported the so-called "Equality" Act which would have undermined religious liberty and surrendered to the homosexual agenda[6])

Supporters of NeverTrump Cheney

In addition to the above list, the following Republicans show their NeverTrump views by supporting the leadership position of NeverTrump Liz Cheney despite how her position against Trump is opposed by more than 90% of Republicans:

  1. Rep. Chip Roy[12] (R–TX), However, He has reversed this position and generally backs the America First Agenda.
  2. Rep. Dan Crenshaw[12] (R–TX), a neocon who has defended endless wars[13] and backed red flag laws[14]
  3. Rep. Kevin McCarthy[15] (R–CA), the House Minority Leader who unjustly stripped Steve King of his committee assignments over a remark misconstrued by the New York Times[16][17]
  4. Rep. Nancy Mace[18] (R–SC), a turncoat[19] whose 2020 one-point margin victory[20] was ensured by the presence of Donald Trump, who carried her district by six points[21]
  5. Rep. Carlos Giménez[22]
