Cheney was fired from GOP leadership and lost her re-election bid. Kinzinger was never a GOP leader, and he retires this year. Neither of them are "today's GOP leadership." That would be Trump, McConnell, McCarthy, and other Swells who the DNC wouldn't invite over for drinks . . . unless they could serve hemlock.

If you think McConnell and McCarthy are on the same side as the base and aren't reviled outside of their home electorates, as Judas Priest once sang.... you've got another thing comin'.

They certainly aren't on the side of the GOP's MAGA base, but they aren't sleeping with the DNC, either. They're Big Corporate Republicans who use social warfare to cover their bribe-taking. That gives them common cause with Big Corporate Democrats who use social warfare to cover their own bribe-taking, but doesn't make them Democrats in disguise. McConnell and McCarthy are a separate breed of pestilence.
