(AP Photo\/J. Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 8:16 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, May 12, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>House Republicans have voted to remove Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as conference chair amid her continued criticism of President Trump and opposition to uncovering voter fraud in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>GOP lawmakers approved Cheney\u2019s expulsion from her leadership position in a voice vote Wednesday. This came after the Wyoming lawmaker had drawn intense scrutiny from conservatives for denigrating the 45th president\u2019s concerns about alleged election fraud and voting to impeach him in January.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her ouster from House GOP leadership, Cheney still plans to run for reelection. Meanwhile, a\u00a0new GOP House chair has yet to be named, but Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is expected to be her replacement.<\/p>\n<p>On the heels of the GOP vote to oust Cheney from her leadership position, President Trump called the representative a \u201cbitter, horrible human being.\u201d In a separate statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.donaldjtrump.com\/desk\/desk-au8zr963cu\/\">Wednesday<\/a>, he said she\u2019s bad for the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2407246\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2407246\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2407246 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E1MPiaVUYAM5pC-.jpg\" alt=\"From the Desk of Donald J.
