House Republicans meet Wednesday to address Liz Cheney leadership, Marjorie Taylor Greene comments

House Republicans will meet Wednesday afternoon to address simmering intraparty tensions after former President Donald Trump's second impeachment, with debate expected around Rep. Liz Cheney's impeachment vote and the controversy ignited by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's history of espousing conspiracy theories.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., met with Greene Tuesday night over her committee assignments, and even convened the GOP Steering Committee - which assigns committee seats - to discuss the issue, though no final decision about Greene's situation was made.

Cheney, the chair of the conference and a member of House GOP leadership, faces intense criticism from Trump's most ardent supporters in the House, who have excoriated her and nine other Republicans for voting to impeach the president for inciting the Capitol riot.

Some lawmakers, including Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, have threatened to oust her from leadership, and claim to have the support of more than 100 Republicans to do so. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., even traveled to Cheney's home state of Wyoming last week to rally her constituents against her.

"This civil war in the Republican Party that we may be on the precipice of is not one in which the outsiders fired the first shot," Gaetz said Tuesday night, referencing Cheney's support last year for a primary challenge to Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, which Gaetz and other conservatives objected to at the time. "My focus is on replacing Liz Cheney because I don’t think she represents our conference."
