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]

  1. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming (heir to the neocon fortune of Dick Cheney from Halliburton)
  2. Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan (heir to the Whirlpool Corporation fortune)
  3. Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan (heir to the Meijer big box chain store fortune) - conservative Tom Norton replied by challenging him in his 2022 primary.[2]
  4. 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])
  5. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington
  6. Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington (his wife "works at Kelly, Drye and Warren LLP in government relations, securing federal funding for clients"[6])
  7. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
  8. 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)
  9. Rep. David Valadao of California
  10. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois (hostile to free speech; co-sponsored with Democrats HR1154 to specifically condemn QAnon and "conspiracy theories"[8])
  11. 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:

  1. 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]
  2. Rep. Dan Crenshaw[9] (R–TX), a neocon who has defended endless wars[12] and backed red flag laws[13]
  3. Rep. Kevin McCarthy[14] (R–CA), the House Minority Leader who unjustly stripped Steve King of his committee assignments over a remark misconstrued by the New York Times[15][16]
  4. Rep. Nancy Mace[17] (R–SC), a turncoat[18] whose 2020 one-point margin victory[19] was ensured by the presence of Donald Trump, who carried her district by six points[20]
  5. Rep. Carlos Giménez[21]

Support for censure

Seven House Republicans introduced a measure to censure Trump:[22]

Never America First Caucus

Individual Comment
Adam Kinzinger Never Trump RINO, Adam Kinzinger has said "Republicans who join 'America First' caucus should be stripped of committees."[26]
Peter Meijer Never Trump, RINO, Peter Meijer harshly condemned the formation of the group.[27]
Liz Cheney Anti Trump, Liz Cheney said in response to the group that "Republicans believe in equal opportunity, freedom, and justice for all. We teach our children the values of tolerance, decency and moral courage. Racism, nativism, and anti-Semitism are evil. History teaches we all have an obligation to confront & reject such malicious hate."[28]
Kevin McCarthy House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy said "America is built on the idea that we are all created equal and success is earned through honest, hard work. It isn’t built on identity, race, or religion. The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln & the party of more opportunity for all Americans—not nativist dog whistles."[29]
Ken Buck Fellow House Freedom Caucus member, Ken Buck of Colorado condemned the formation of the group.[30] Buck was one of the only Freedom Caucus remembers to not object to either Pennsylvania or Arizona.
