WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Liz Cheney joined nine other Republicans Wednesday in a vote supporting a single article of impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Cheney, who serves in a senior GOP leadership role, was immediately attacked by conservatives, including Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana.
Rosendale Tweeted:
Rep. Cheney did not consult with the rest of our conference before supporting impeachment.

She failed to abide by the spirit of the Conference rules & is ignoring the preferences of Republican voters.
I'm calling on her to step down as Conference Chair.https://t.co/PEI21jwAv0
