Lindsey Graham: Liz Cheney Has Lost Confidence of the Republican Party

‘You’re not entitled to be a leader; you have to earn that right

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "You’re not entitled to be a leader. You have to earn that right. And if people don’t think you’re leading them well, they can fire you. I like Liz Cheney. I adore Joni. Everybody should have their say. But when you become a leader of a conference, then you need to be — have the confidence of the people you’re leading. To me, Liz has lost that. I think she’s going to lose tomorrow. Why? Not because she voted to impeach the president. She was re-elected overwhelmingly when they tried to get rid of her a few months ago. What's happened is that she’s trying to make the argument the Republican Party is better off without Donald Trump, that he’s disqualified from being a member of the Republican Party, that he should never be allowed to pursue office again. I disagree with that. And I think most House Republicans disagree with that. So when you’re a leader and people lose confidence in you, you can be fired, and that’s what's going to happen tomorrow."
