Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was caught on audio saying, on January 10, that he planned to ask Trump to resign over the January 6 insurrection that Trump fueled.

This call was January 10, 2021.

It is incredible how quickly top Republicans went from secretly planning to get rid of Trump — because it was the right thing to do — to realizing the political environment was such that they could simply let it ride and would glean benefits and take no hits over Trump's plot to toss out a fair election's results.

Caught red-handed consorting with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) on this call, McCarthy will now never, ever be Speaker of the House if Republicans retake that body. Just think — he was dealing with Cheney and on the same page with her, and weeks later, he was having her stripped of her duties over her lack of allegiance to Trumpism.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) told 60 Minutes interviewer Leslie Stahl Sunday that she is now in support of same-sex marriage. Her previous stance against it had caused a widely reported rift between herself and her sister, Mary Cheney, who is a lesbian.

The daughters of Dick Cheney — who was the driving force behind a presidential administration that aggressively worked to codify anti-gay discrimination in state constitutions — have now kissed and made up. Liz says it's a personal issue, but it isn't, or should not be. It's not about your lesbian sister, it's about citizens in general, Liz.

She also throws in support for trans people. 

If you didn't think Liz would run for president in 2024, you should think that now.

BELOW: Big news cycle. Gulp. Here goes:

Cheney claims, “I think everybody should want a situation and a system where people who ought to be able to vote and have the right to vote can vote, and people who don't, shouldn't.”

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) is still out there Liz Cheneying, saying in an interview that she is in favor of the wave of voter-suppression laws that are coming into play because ... states.

Adding insult to injury, she brings up how awesome it was when Al Gore conceded the 2000 election THAT HE WON but that was snatched away from him by the Supreme Court, comparing this — ludicrously — to the situation with Donald Trump, who continues to claim an election he lost by a lot was stolen.

Both situations were dangerous, Liz:
