CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming Republican Party will no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP in its second formal rebuke for her criticism of former President Donald Trump.
The 31-29 vote Saturday in Buffalo, Wyoming, by the state party central committee followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming’s 23 counties to no longer recognize Cheney as a Republican.
In February, the Wyoming GOP central committee voted overwhelmingly to censure Cheney, Wyoming’s lone U.S. representative, for voting to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Cheney has described her vote to impeach Trump as an act of conscience in defense of the Constitution. Trump “incited the mob” and “lit the flame” of that day’s events, Cheney said after the attack.
It’s “laughable” for anybody to suggest Cheney isn’t a “conservative Republican,” Cheney spokesman Jeremy Adler said by text message Monday.
“She is bound by her oath to the Constitution. Sadly a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man,” Adler added.
Cheney is now facing at least four Republican opponents in the 2022 primary including Cheyenne attorney Harriet Hageman, whom Trump has endorsed. Hageman in a statement called the latest state GOP central committee vote “fitting,” the Casper Star-Tribune reported.
“Liz Cheney stopped recognizing what Wyomingites care about a long time ago. When she launched her war against President Trump, she completely broke with where we are as a state,” Hageman said.
Yes. It’s called the Democratic primary. https://t.co/q31fFvQZOp

In May, Republicans in Washington, D.C., removed Cheney from a top congressional GOP leadership position after she continued to criticize Trump’s false claims that voter fraud cost him re-election.

Cheney had survived an earlier attempt to remove her as chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, a role that shapes GOP messaging in the chamber.

Liz Cheney is and has been a traitorous, unethical Democrat Party’s RINO for a long time.
Liz Cheney’s hate for President Donald Trump has dominated her character since Trump became President instead of her goddess the corrupt “Hil-Liar-y Clinton”.
It is a good thing to remove these
traitorous, hateful RINOs from any and all government positions.
That liz cheney is nothing but a flaming DEMONcrat full of hate and loathing not just for PRESIDENT TRUMP but for the nation as a whole.
PITY all they could do, is vote her out of the GOP.. PITY THEY COULDN’T TOTALLY RECALL her traitorous butt.
Its a good thing that the ” Republican State Party Voted Liz Cheney out of the Republican Party because she no longer has to pretend that shes a Republican and can openly be where her Heart has Always been, With The democrats .
Which now shifts the house of reps, two MORE spots into their favor (one less so-called republican, one MORE demon-rat)!
Liz Cheney is basically her father all over! Many of the so called establishment Republicans like Trump! He stood up for America and saw that Obama and the Communist/Socialist left under the influence of George Soros was selling this country down the drain whether to China or Radical Muslims! Romney is another POS RINO who could stand Trump!
Give me a Trump tweet and $1.79 a gal. gas right now!
You got that one right, I would take the mean tweets any day and the $159 per gallon gas anytime . This $4.79 per gallon is just unreal and just ax bad for the economy as anything. That quid-pro-joe guy has caused more damage and harm to the cou try as any president in the last 50 years or more.
MOST of his tweets i didn’t evne see AS BEING MEAN…
The democrats say to me and you, “not too worry, we’re looking out for you, ” Comrade, No Turkey , no Gas for your Car unless you can afford the $$$$, Empty Grocery shelves, But don’t. Worry Comrade, democrats are going to fix everything, you See ! ” To each according to their needs. “
If you were offended by Trumps tweets then you are a democrat against being frank and honest. Trump is just like all true Americans. He is a hard working businessman and not a career politician that has never lived in the real world. Trump isn’t a lying stuff shirt full of power and corruption as the majority politicians.
“Trump’s false claims”? Really? Who has proved these claims to be false?
We have NUMEROUS Wisconsin State Law violations (and Wisconsin is seriously considering DE-CERTIFYING the 2020 election results).
We have the infamous Security Video (in Georgia) of poll workers pulling boxes of ballots out from under covered tables (after sending the observers home [for an apparently FALSE report of a water main problem in the building], and feeding those ballots through the counting machines MULTIPLE TIMES).
We have Arizona’s forensic audit also demonstrating numerous cases of ILLEGAL (dare I say “fraudulent”) ballots.
What court has heard these FACTS, and ruled that they did NOT, in fact, happen?
UNFORTUNATELY none.. THEY REFUSE To hear those claims, otherwise it would mean they would HAVE TO SEE EVIDENCE…
To ” WardM. D. What are you trying to say, That the democrats rigged the elections in their favor ,Oh, go on with you, everyone Knows the democrats don’t rig elections !
“….Sadly a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man,”
No kidding! Twenty Nine of them belong to Joe O’Biden.
She ought to be voted off the planet..
I am sure that Space X could spare a rocket and send her to the dark side of the sun, maybe even the planet Mercury might do.
How’s about launch her, AND EVERY OTHER RINO and commucrat, DIRECTLY INTO the sun!
Glad to see Wyoming do the right thing. Now the dumb RINO tramp has to run as a dummycrat, which is what she really is. As for the 29 idiots who voted in favor of this trampy RINO, they should be dragged out to the open range and have a herd of cattle stampeded over them. They’re also RINOs.
Well that cheney thing is nothing more than abvlaming DEMONcrat .
NOW let’s see if the voters OF WYOMING respond, and REPLACE HER sorry butt.. AS WELL as those 29 other traitors…
Well this way she can run as a Marxist and be sort of honest for once in her life..
The only thing laughable is calling her a supporter of the GOP and The Constitution. She sides with the liberals now on everything, has been given appointments by them, is paid by them and will sit side by side with them in Hell – reserved seats up close to the flames – along with cindy mccain, meghan mccain, and all the other rinos and their offsprings…
I can’t wait to not vote for her.
Best comment ever!
I’d almost be tempted to permanently move to Wyoming, JUST SO I COULD Vote against her.
Well, we have no state income tax, residents don’t need a permit to carry concealed or open, we are one of the state’s with the highest household gun ownership, fishing is good, I’m guessing big game, horses (wild or not), sheep, and cattle probably outnumber people, air is fresh (wind happens), wide open spaces, and beautiful mountain ranges. I feel life here is good, but anyone moving here should leave their liberal ideas back where they came from and don’t mess up our way of life.
If there was a good size Gaming community (ADND, Starwars, battletech etc) i just MIGHT move there.
The Wind River Indian reservation has a casino and there is betting on horse racing, but I don’t do either.
I have to ask , ” What Would democrat, President, Joe Biden Do, ( You bet YA! Joe Biden Is” The Go- To Man ” with all the Answers.
Liz should be thrown out of any government job. She is a traitor to her party and her constituents and they should tar and feather her.
Beware you RINOS you are hooking your carts to the wrong horses butts who will throw you under the bus. We republicans are tired of you woozies kowtowing to the democrats. If you traitors had a backed Trump while he was in office America would have been great again. Republicans we are maintaining a list of you NOT to vote for going forward
