Kevin McCarthy in his letter to members today.
"We are a big tent party. We represent Americans of all backgrounds and continue to grow our movement by the day. And unlike the left,
we embrace free thought and debate.
How does expelling Cheney grow the movement?
"She (Cheney) is, in a lot of ways, more focused on the future than her party. They’re simply trying to salvage the present and pretend the specter of Trump doesn’t loom over the next stage in the party’s evolution. They are, much as they did for the four years of his presidency, simply ignoring a festering problem and hoping it sorts itself out.
Cheney’s biggest sin isn’t focusing on the past; it’s forcing the GOP to account for its future."
