Civil war.
Plenty of pandemic chitchat on tap as usual this fine Sunday morning but the prime topic is the developing GOP civil war, embodied this week in the persons of Liz Cheney and Marjorie Taylor Greene. The star guest: Cheney herself, who’ll give what I believe is her first interview after surviving her leadership challenge to Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” She’ll be asked what it says about her party that 60 of her colleagues voted to oust her compared to just 11 who voted to strip Greene of her committee assignments for crankery various and sundry. She’ll also weigh in on how it feels to have top MAGA bro Matt Gaetz campaigning against her in her own state knowing that her caucus leader, Kevin McCarthy, won’t lift a finger to stop him. If “unity” is the House GOP’s new mantra, why does Gaetz get an exemption? Another tangent of the Republican civil war, the impeachment trial that starts tomorrow, is also on the agenda.
