Eleven elitist and globalist House Republicans voted with Dems who vengefully impeached President Trump a second time, on January 13, 2021, less than seven days from the end of his first term. These RINOs were:[1]
- Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming (heir to the neocon fortune of Dick Cheney from Halliburton)
- Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan (heir to the Whirlpool Corporation fortune)
- Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan (heir to the Meijer big box chain store fortune) - conservative Steve Gruber replied by challenging him in his 2022 primary.[2]
- Rep. John Katko of New York (represents a district that Hillary Clinton carried by four points in 2016;[3] Katko backed legislation to allow biological men to compete as transgenders in women's sports[4][5])
- Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington
- Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington (his wife "works at Kelly, Drye and Warren LLP in government relations, securing federal funding for clients"[6])
- Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
- Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina (flip-flopped from his position two days earlier when he publicly said he did not support impeachment;[7] his wife owns a commercial real estate business)
- Rep. David Valadao of California
- Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois (so hostile to free speech that he co-sponsored with Dems HR1154 to specifically condemn QAnon and "conspiracy theories[8])
- Comm. Jenniffer González Colon of Puerto Rico (not a congresswoman) (in committee she supported the so-called "Equality" Act which would have undermined religious liberty and surrendered to the homosexual agenda[4]).
Supporters of NeverTrump Cheney
In addition to the above list, the following Republicans show their NeverTrump views by supporting the leadership position of NeverTrump Liz Cheney despite how her position against Trump is opposed by more than 90% of Republicans:
- Rep. Chip Roy[9] (R–TX) first chief of staff to Sen. Ted Cruz in 2013[10] and led the pro-Cruz, anti-Trump Trusted Leadership PAC in 2016[11]
- Rep. Dan Crenshaw[9] (R–TX)
- Rep. Kevin McCarthy[12] (R–CA)
- Rep. Nancy Mace[13] (R–SC), a turncoat[14] whose 2020 one-point margin victory[15] was ensured by the presence of Donald Trump, who carried her district by six points[16]
Support for censure
Seven House Republicans introduced a measure to censure Trump:[17]
- Brian Fitzpatrick (R–PA), a hardcore RINO who supports climate alarmism-related legislation,[18] gun control,[19] and the homosexual agenda[4]
- Young Kim (R–CA), who ran on a conservative campaign in a mostly liberal district heavily distancing herself from Trump[20]
- Fred Upton (R–MI) (voted for impeachment)
- Tom Reed (R–NY)
- Mike Gallagher (R–WI)
- John Curtis (R–UT)
- Peter Meijer (R–MI) (voted for impeachment)
