Trump 2nd Impeachment Subsequent Backlash Against Republican Congressmen Supporting the Ploy

In latest proceedings of the 2nd impeachment of Trump agenda, the Republicans who broke off from the GOP to back up their Democrat allies, have been put on the spot by their local Republican parties as to how they voted with regards to this motion.

It is interesting that a little over a year ago, all House Republicans voted against the president's first impeachment. Then on Wednesday, 10 GOP members switched sides to join with the Democrats to impeach Trump. The reps known to have done this are:

1. Liz Cheney (Wyo.)
2. Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio)
3. Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.) 
4. John Katko (N.Y.)
5. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.)
6. Peter Meijer (Mich.)
7. Dan Newhouse (Wash.)
8. Tom Rice (S.C.)
9. Fred Upton (Mich.)
10. David Valadao (Calif.)

This was despite the risk they could possible face by splitting from the party's majority, such as political blowback for their votes and altogether losing their political support from their state's Republican voters come the next election.

Reports indicate that staunch Republican reps like Cheney, who is the 3rd in command in the House Republican leadership as the GOP Conference Chair, is getting blowback from the Wyoming Republican Party and her congressional colleagues.

Apparently members of the House Freedom Caucus mobilized petitions, on Wednesday, in pursuit of a vote of no confidence against Cheney urging her to resign from her post. The petition stated that Cheney, with regards to the position she holds 

"has brought the Conference into disrepute and produced discord."

In a lengthy statement issued by Wyoming GOP early today, Thursday, the party alleges it received harsh backlash from its members highlighting Cheney's actions stating, 

"Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time."

The received feedback were perceived to hurl accusations that Cheney has aligned herself with "the beltway elites" and "with leftists."

The organization said, 

"We as a Party respect our elected officials and assume that they will respect and represent their constituents. We are receiving the message loud and clear that what happened yesterday is a true travesty for Wyoming and the country."

Cheney said her vote to impeach was one of conscience.

She said,

 "The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."
