Occasionally a controversy will flush out the RINO backers.  One example occurred in September 2012, when the [[media bullying]] of [[pro-life]] leader and candidate for the [[United States Senate|Senate]] from [[Missouri]] [[Todd Akin]] highlighted who sides with [[RINO]] or [[liberal]] positions when it counts most—on the important social issues.  Seven weeks later, [[Richard Mourdock]] made a similar [[pro-life]] statement that caused more RINO backers to emerge from the woodwork. Another example was when Representative [[Liz Cheney]] of Wyoming voted to impeach President Trump, which exposed several "conservatives" as Anti-Trump RINOs.
