Part of anti-MAGA 'coup' play by deep pockets Deep Neocons (left wing)?
Source is MSM but reporting appears to be non-fakenews:
House Republicans Who Voted to Impeach Trump See Fundraising Boost
Numerous GOP primary challengers could split anti-incumbent vote in some districts in 2022
Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, Tom Rice of South Carolina, center, and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois were among the 10 GOP lawmakers who voted to impeach then-President Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

As they prepare to face primary challengers, the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 raised significantly more money during the first quarter of 2021 than they did two years earlier.
The group, leveraging the power of incumbency, also swamped their GOP primary opponents in almost every instance during the first round of fundraising since angering Mr. Trump with their votes, new Federal Election Commission filings show.
While all the incumbents outraised challengers who filed campaign finance reports, it is still early in the two-year election cycle and money is just one factor in typically low-turnout primaries.
Mr. Trump’s political-action committees could also weigh in financially on some of the contests, and his endorsements could carry significant weight with the party’s base. The PACs aren’t required to report their latest totals until July, but one of them, Save America PAC, started the year with $31 million in the bank and has continued to raise money since then.
In a speech earlier this year at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he called out all 10 by name, Mr. Trump told his supporters to “get rid of them all” in next year’s elections.
The race for Wyoming’s single House seat is a good example of the dynamics at play. The $1.5 million raised by the main campaign committee for Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the highest-ranking House Republican who is contending with impeachment-vote consequences, represented almost five times what she raised in the first quarter of 2019.

Campaign CashThe 10 House Republicans who voted toimpeach then-President Donald Trump earlierthis year are raising more money than theirprimary challengers so far.First-quarter campaign fundraisingSource: Federal Election CommissionNote: No one has filed to challenge Mr. Katko, andsome challengers have not yet reported fundraising.
Nine of the 10 incumbents already have primary challengers, in some cases multiple ones. Some GOP strategists worry such party infighting could undermine their prospects of taking back control of Congress in 2022, though half of the districts represented by Republicans who voted for impeachment were won by Mr. Trump by 5 percentage points or more in November’s general election and are unlikely Democratic takeover targets.
