(Joe Raedle\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything he said strikes at the very heart as to what made this movement pro-family, pro-worker. He changed the Republican Party forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEnany thought Trump \u201ccan do it again.\u201d But whether Trump runs in 2024 or not, there are \u201csome incredible men and women in our party\u201d such as Govs. Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, who are \u201cwalking in the same kind of Trump ideology,\u201d McEnany said.<\/p>\n<p>She also mentioned former Vice President Mike Pence is a supporter of the Trump movement.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why Trump didn\u2019t start a new party, McEnany said that Trump \u201cknows that for the betterment of his movement, fixing the Republican Party is the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEnany suggested that Trump fixed the Republican Party when he brought Rust Belt Democrats to the party in 2016 by focusing on trade and protecting blue-collar workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there\u2019s a push to go back to the status quo. There\u2019s a push to exile him, to exile his movement,\u201d McEnany continued. \u201cBut you know, my message to them is, let the people decide. There are 75 million incredible people, and they\u2019ll decide the way this movement goes forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), one of the 17 lawmakers who voted to impeach Trump, publicly said Trump shouldn\u2019t have a place in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country,\u201d Cheney said in a press conference last week.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said in his CPAC speech that it was \u201cgood news\u201d Cheney had been censured by her state GOP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo hopefully, they\u2019ll get rid of her with the next election,\u201d said Trump. \u201cGet rid of \u2019em all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEnany also talked about her experience on Jan. 6 in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs those events transpired, it was disbelief, shock, somber, sad, horrified by the violence, and it was a very hard, difficult day in the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEnany asserted that Trump holds no responsibility for the violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Sen. Tim Scott said it best,\u201d McEnany continued. \u201cThose who hold responsibility are those who committed those heinous actions that we all condemn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEnany pointed out that the rioters showed up at the Capitol before the end of Trump\u2019s speech. \u201cAnd then they did the exact opposite of what he said. He said march peacefully and patriotically. And they did the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News announced Tuesday that it had signed McEnany as a contributor to offer commentary on various network programs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ivan Pentchoukov contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some Republicans in Congress have been too quick to exile former President Donald Trump, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told Fox News on Tuesday. \u201cI think that Republicans &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274641,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/trump-at-cpac-2021-600x422-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Republicans on the Hill Too Quick to Exile Trump: McEnany","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/trump-at-cpac-2021-600x422-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Republicans on the Hill Too Quick to Exile Trump: McEnany","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
