The Wyoming Republican Party’s decision to no longer recognize Congressman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo) as a Republican will not surprise anyone (except for the time it takes).
On Saturday, the state passed the resolution 31-29.
From Caspar Star Forum:
“It was previously mentioned in the condemnation resolution that Congressman Liz Cheney voted for impeachment without any quantifiable felony or misdemeanor evidence,” the resolution said. “To date, no quantifiable and/or incontrovertible evidence has been provided to Representative Liz Cheney to defend her questionable decision.”
Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler told Hill This move is “ridiculous”.
“It is ridiculous to say that Leeds is not a staunch conservative Republican. She is bound by the Constitution. Sadly, part of the Wyoming Republican leadership has abandoned this basic principle and instead made herself a The lies of dangerous and irrational people,” Cheney spokesman Jeremy Adler said in a statement to Hill on Monday. .
Cheney’s outspoken opposition to Donald Trump, his voters and her vote to impeach Trump due to the Capitol riots in January last year led many Republicans and conservatives to question who she represents.
Cheney faces four major challenges in the next election cycle. A major opponent, Harriet Hageman, told The Star that it was appropriate considering Cheney’s break with the state party.
“This is appropriate because Liz Cheney stopped knowing what Wyoming people care about a long time ago. When she launched a war on President Trump, she completely broke our status as a state,” Hagman Said in a statement.
The resolution of the Republican Party of Wyoming also requires Republicans in Congress to “immediately remove” her from all committee tasks and “speed up her seamless withdrawal from the Republican Party.”
