Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee, lost her GOP House primary in Wyoming. But she plans to keep fighting Trump.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., appears at an Election Day gathering in Jackson, Wyo., to concede defeat in a GOP primary to Harriet Hageman, who was backed by former President Trump. Cheney vows that she will carry on her work to make sure Trump doesn't return to the presidency.Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., appears at an Election Day gathering in Jackson, Wyo., to concede defeat in a GOP primary to Harriet Hageman, who was backed by former President Trump.

Cheney addressed supporters in Jackson Hole, near her home, and one of the few areas in the state where she won the county, repeating her vow to do whatever she can to stop Trump from returning to the White House. Mary Martin, chair of the Teton County Republican Party in Wyoming, supported Cheney in the past, but says Cheney's interaction with voters changed following her sharp break with the former president.

Cheney's public statements hinted for some time she's focused on the long game. In June, she delivered a blunt broadside at fellow House GOP members still loyal to Trump at the primetime kick off of the public hearings of the House panel probing Jan, 6.

God Bless Liz Cheney for standing up and doing the right thing. Americans should praise Her for all She has done. Let's all work together to hold the ones accountable for their involvement in the attempted insurrection. Stop the BIG LIE.

NPR loves Liz and all Democrats! You're not news you're PROPAGANDA! DefundNPR DemocratsHateAmerica DemocratsDividingAndDestroyingAmerica

ShigeyoK Shame on Wyoming!

Go Liz. Don’t stop fighting!

Do it.

Liz Cheney will dance on the carcass of Donald John Trump before the 2024 inauguration 🇺🇸👀

You would think she would learn her lesson that’s what got her in the position she’s in now.

That would be another mistake.

This has been is delusional

How does Liz Cheney plan to fight Donald J. Trump, Sr.?

I am so sick of politics. Lets play a game of scrambled to ease our minds from politics. I will start first TMURP2204

Would pay to see her debate trump. He couldn't lie his way around on that stage

Liz_Cheney RepLizCheney Go Forth and be GREAT! I hope you run for President in 2024. You can actually win over thousands of Democratic voters....

Don't agree with almost any of Ms. Cheney's policy positions. But as a person with integrity, grit, and a willingness to lead with honesty and dignity, she is a rarity in US politics. I admire her for not sinking into the muck and corruption of the GOP. She's a patriot! Go Liz!

Then run as an independent for congress in Wyoming

Lol lol lol lol lol

Wyoming is falling down a deep, dark hole. Cheney was the last chance they had to get out.

Who cares

Haven't voted for a republican presidential candidate since Reagan, I would vote for her absolutely.!!!

🤕Lizzy has hard core TDS. Serious mental health issue there.

She is mean, cruel, vicious and has no interest if fair justice under the law. The Cheneys hate President Trump because he rightly called out Dick Cheney for his phantom weapons of the mass destruction and the thousands of American and Iraqi lives lost. He's a war criminal.

I’m sorry, I thought her title on the committee was democrat puppet

She got slaughtered. Trump didn’t like Bush and Cheney for their warmongering. Liz hates Trump for calling out her father. She did not represent Wyoming. She can work for CNN or s Defense company.

No chance she gets on the 2024 ticket as a Republican. She'd have a better chance running as a Democrat!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *deep breath* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

She’s a joke like her father.

Liz ( the 🐍) Cheney

I predict she’ll run either as an Independent or a Republican to siphon off votes from Trump to ensure he doesn’t win. That will be her objective because she knows she doesn’t have enough support to win an election.

What a joke! Who will vote for her? Not the Libs nor Conservatives for what she has done. For right now they will use her as a stab against Republicans.

Patriot1Annie She has a bad case of TDS. This may be the worst case ever.

Tick-tock Liz. Time waits for no troll. This is your career warning light in the corner of your eye and the seatbelt ajar warning tone ringing in your ear at night as you lay down to sleep. You had a brilliant career remaining and you threw it away on a vendetta on a politician.

Buh bye Liz 🤣🤣🤣

Salute the lady who stands by principles and morals!

😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅

Liz Cheney made it all about Trump. She should have made it all about the people.

Correction: She continues to keep losing to Trump. She lost the entire state of WY - not just a Congressional District. No one likes her but the media loves to use her as a martyr. Elites are being called out and the left is scared.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

One of the few in Washington who have proven ethics and integrity. I hope she runs for president.

Everyone is, that’s why she was voted out!

The Bushes, The Clintons, now….

Hey look! Democracy in action!

I’m sure she’ll have the backing of old school Republicans. I don’t agree with her politics but I do respect her for not backing down from her beliefs about Trump. The people in Wyoming just made a big mistake. They chose Trump over the US Constitution. Some ‘patriots’ they are.

Cheney lost for being grossly dishonest and anti-American. Her personal vendetta against Trump left Wyoming voters without representation. You dont lose a primary by 40 pts and trot back to DC with a new lease on life. This was a referendum on J6 and anti Trump psychosis.

She just wants to raise money

brithume I wonder if things might have turned out differently for Liz Cheney if she'd used her seat on the 1/6 committee to insist on cross-examination of witnesses & chance for defense to present its side. Instead she led charge for an utterly one-sided presentation.

The most American thing a person can do is vote. Dems wanted Republicans gone and now it is happening. You got what you wanted just not how you wanted it

Cheney could not win the presidency without all R on board, but neither can tfg. So she'll run if he runs, just so as deny him a share of the R vote. That would be a service to the country!

Has anyone but me noticed that all the media is interviewing the WHINER and not the WINNER in Wyoming?

An obsessed woman...

Therein lies the reason RepLizCheney LOST. She was not sent to DC to abuse her power with attacks on Trump. She was sent there to fight for WYOMING CONSTITUENTS. Her fixation on Trump bordering on CRAZY🤪

L7

RepLizCheney ‘s new job description, “fighting Trump.” Let it be known to Liz that, only God deposes kings and raises up others. You have no power to prevent anyone from becoming President. You sound pathetic. Wyoming saw it. America sees it. You are blind. Praying for you.

The last chance that GOP voters had a chance to show the rest of us that they are not members of a brainwashed cult, and they blew it big time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She is as corrupt as her father

idiotalert

Lol. She’s done

Bye Liz

Liz Cheney has a gargantuan ego. Normal people would be crushed by such a huge loss. They would have humility and self-reflection forced upon them. Not Cheney. She believes the voters—not her—were on trial yesterday. They failed miserably! She remains a legend in her own mind

Her own state wouldn’t vote for her but yet she’s trying to run for President, my head hurts make it make sense.

She is going to need to switch parties. Republican voters are done with her. I do admire her confidence though. Her actions were based on an emotional response to Trump. We don't need that in Washington no matter what party you represent.

Warmongering women gotta keep warmongering…..it’s in their nature

😂😂😂😇😇😇 “God laughs at the wicked everyday.”

So for Liz it's really all about her fight with Trump and absolutely nothing about Wyoming!!!

Don’t let the door hit you Liz, Adios, Goodbye, farewell, bye-bye!!😂😆😝🥂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌

Lizzie's hatred for Trump continues to control her life-Trump LIVES in her HEAD VERY SAD

Where was this great defender of democracy in 2000 when the Supreme Court halted the counting of votes in FLA and installed her father as shadow president, resulting in the deaths of millions. The Dems singing her praises now. Here is why.

Keep fighting for democracy, truth and our country

Oh please do… so the whole world can see just how unpopular the traitorous Liz Cheney really is.

She’ll get waxed. — Again!

Gosh, I wonder if all the Cheney As GOP Martyr articles have anything to do with the fact that she is probably going to make a presidential bid? NPR, what happened to your solid , unbiased and insightful articles and reporting?

It's outrages that anyone would try and keep an American citizen from running for any office isn't this country about voters choosing their elected officials not preventing someone from running because your views are different?

Cheney and the Lincoln Project dupes. Trump's in big trouble now.

Liz Cheney is one of the few remaining truth tellers! And truth will always win in the end.

Too bad she spent her tenure voting with trump 93% of the time and blocking needed legislation. Now she is a hero of some kind because she doesn’t support hate, division and party policies above all ANYMORE? When the monster you make eats you, it does’t make you a hero.

You keep going, Senator because at the end of the day your conscious is clear. You do the job that the trump republicans don’t want you to do. All thy want if for the voters that think trump is all that.

she is being paid millions

It is not coincidence that Bush fam and Cheney fam don’t like Trump It’s not coincidence that McCane Fam and Romney don’t like Trump Notice they all were in line to be president or were President.. Traitors to their party, traitors to their platform.

Liz is an embarrassment

She needs help tds is serious.

USA NEEDS MORE LIZ CHENEY…💪 “The challenges we are facing require serious leaders who will abide by their oath and uphold the Constitution, NO matter what”

LindaHu14367111 We all knew she was going to lose. Anytime someone speaks out against you-know-who they get voted out. Has anyone noticed that when a Republican is not running for re-election they come at Trump hardcore. Because he is awful🤮

Hahahahahahaha please somebody tell her !!! She won't ! Can

Notice. Only people mad are left leaning..

She’s done because she turned her back on the people who voted for her. Good riddance!

TDS She needs help to overcome this.

And by lost, I mean suffered the 4th worst loss by an incumbent since 1968.

TDS

BoycottWyoming

Boycott Wyoming. No sane people should travel there.

And We the People fought her! Bye bye Lizzy FJB

She lost her primary not the seat not yet

I admire the hell out of her and unlike Biden, she knows what a woman is!

She needs to seek professional help. The driving force in her soul is hate...

Millions spent on investigations, & hearings which is a total waste of taxpayers money when families are struggling to put food on the table. But like many members of Congress they are millionaires and don’t care and are out of touch with reality.

Of course she does. This is a vendetta for her not a job!

The people have spoken!

And your headline just explains exactly why RepLizCheney got annihilated last night. Her obsession with Trump instead of listening to her constituents which is now why she is out of a job

Oh ok……

Come January we conservatives will be pushing congress to eliminate all funding for NPR. We don’t need to fund propaganda

REPUBLICAN PSA: Liz Cheney is about to make The Donald and his GOP cronies go through some things the HouseGOP might have wanted to keep her. Ms. Cheney is about to be the wrecking ball. These next 2 years of civil war within the gop should be interesting.

The people have spoken. Thank the Lord!!

She knew she’d loose and she never intended to run for office again. That’s why she sat on J6 Commitee. She was just a sort of sacrificial lamb

Voters in the US state of Wyoming ousted congresswoman Liz Cheney.

Still hasn't learned her lesson trying to win over single issue voters

But, but but her fight continues 😆

Fighting Trump was not her job. Representing her constituents was, and she refused to do it.

Bye 😎

Eat 💩 NPR! Eat 💩Liz!

Lizzy fighting Trump because without Trump propagandist like NPR would ignore the daughter of a war criminal FJB DefundNPR

HAHA FUKKING HA.

So what? As long as she’s not wasting taxpayers money.

Good riddance

Liz will go independently and run against Donald in 2024 - score a huge book deal for $5 million + — and land a gig on msnbc or the view —- time to cash in

While she has been defeated in this primary, she has won the minds of many who had thought the GOP had lost its collective mind. Thank you Ms. Cheney for your devotion to the country and not to some egotistical 🍊 guy

Liz_Cheney may have lost in Wyoming, but she is a national hero. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why dies Lizzie always look constipated?

TDS

Liz , keep smiling; you've been victorious, winning hearts & minds of human race around the world , standing up 2 Truth ; no 2 way path 2 its tower; Jah will give u a way out : trust him..

And so it should!!!

Let us know how to help her. God help us all. She's a true patriot.

Goodbye traitor! You won’t be missed!

Thank goodness the insurrectionist lost her election!

Because that is where the democrat money is

It amazing how well NPR Carrie’s water for the DNC and yet takes tax payers dollars to stay in business… Breaking News NPR: Liz_Cheney is toast. Period.

😂🤣😂

Try running as a Democrat 🤷

Of course she does. If Trump moved to Europe, she’d probably have to move too. Serious TDS going on. Geez 🙄

I'm so glad that rino and piece of human excrement lost. 👍💕

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bye!

And you know why she lost lol

General elections are where everyone no matter their party in her state can vote for her. Primaries are just about who the party is going to support.

He is accused of threatening and abusing the system. But, the system is abusing him and threatening all of us.

WY is going to regret voting Liz out as Liz stood for WY not for political power and when 45 Trump is indicted and truth is revealed these people are going to cry, when their new Republican candidate puts WY last for her own political gain which she has already shown she will.

😂

Say the truth, she didn’t lose she was humiliated. I loved seeing the numbers get further and further apart. She put her and daddy’s hatred for trump above the voters in Wyoming. I’m glad she is done in congress come Jan. Hopefully when majority changes in 23 they investigate her

Both parties are just as crooked as shit can’t name one in last 30 or more years. All the way from mayors to presidents.

The democratsforliz could have helped her win, but chose not to. It is a lot easier for the DemocraticParty to defeat a Trump supported candidate than LizCheney!

Yah

L o s e r - in so many ways.

There’s no fight. MAGA has won and will continue to win.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏

Cope

supports invading Iraq. supports war.

Hard to fight when Liz Cheney had to submit and concede. Defund Taxpayer money to

Hilarious how the libs all of the sudden love the Cheneys. They sit on no moral foundation. Trump broke them.

Lizzy hatred.for Trymp confuses her sense of justice. Every American running for office can legally question election outcomes. That's Constitutional

Thank you, Ms. Cheney. This Democrat/Independent from California thanks you for your example of integrity.

Run for Senate

Go down swinging RepLizCheney you’ve done your job honorably! Your legacy will remain.

Bye! Don't the let door hit you on the way out!

Bye girl. You're a sore loser.

This is her problem. She decided to make her deciding based on Trump... instead of what was right for her constituents. These people need to get over their hate.

In 1849, Abe Lincoln lost his congressional seat for sticking to his principles and bucking his party on the Mexican Invasion. Liz is in good company. classylady

Cant believe my tax dollars go to fund a left wing biased erroneous propaganda machine. As bad as any 3rd world country.

AZPubRadio Cheney 2024

Good riddance you lefty pawn to you and your WMD father

I have no idea about behind the scene,but she deserve the respect.

Liz Cheney is a champion of truth and Justice. She was betrayed by her own, She sacrificed her career to save the nation. She will rise again.

Good riddance. Also, defundNPR

Not just “lost”. Got obliterated. Was doing the OPPOSITE of what almost ALL of her constituents wanted. And that’s not how representative government works.

She is what all politicians should aspire to be.

Sorry Liz, we’re not buying your crap. See ya!

Our chief goal was to show you the door...

On The View?

You chose democrats instead of US citizens. You got what you deserved

“Refusal to follow the rule of law will corrupt our future,” Says the woman who voted to impeach a president WITHOUT a, what does the Constitution say about the LAW, oh yeah…, you need a “High Crime or Misdemeanor”…, there weren’t any crimes or misdemeanor, only butt hurt Dems.

Disappointing, that people would take an endorsement from Trump as a positive. The devil points to his chosen, and his post souls trundle forward without thought, faith, or morality.

She can pretend to be a Democrat.

Keep taking votes from Dems. There’s no space for neocons in the new MAGA Republican Party

🤡

Makes you wonder why a family dynasty of war criminals and profiteers are dedicating their lives to getting rid of Trump. 🤔 The Bushs, McCains, and Cheneys are leftist heroes all of the sudden.

RepLizCheney would be much more comfortable and effective at fighting Trump as Democrat or as a featured propagandist on CNN, MSNBC or since TrumpDerangementSyndrome is the only job experience required.

that will last about 6 months, then oblivion.

Oh I am sure the despicable Dems will have her on the committee . That bi.. needs a hobby.

Run for President Liz !! Or Senate

Of course she does. But see where it's gotten her?

Liz Cheney vehemently defended torture and mass murder of people in the Middle East, lying us into endless wars that sunk trillions of dollars, killed and maimed countless Americans, and made billions to her father's corporations.

She actually won in my book

What Trump had done to her?

She's a hero standing up for her values!

LizCheney

In fairness, Liz Cheney made a fool of herself!

The people have spoken...thems the breaks...

Wahwahhhh

Good riddance Cheney your a bad American that is why you got voted out. We don’t trust you. I’m sure you’ll just become a scumbag lobbyist so you can find ways of stealing money from the tax payers.

America has spoken. Time to purge the anti American propagandists!!!

Liz Cheney loves this country and will continue to fight to protect what this country stands for!

Lost She was the incumbent with full support of the media and Democratic Party…..and she was crushed by a more than 30 point margin. The investigations begin in January 2023 and the impeachments shortly thereafter.

Because she is a dedicated RINO!

So... how long can she stay on the committee?

From the drive thru window.

Y’all liberals are wilding in the comment section 😭 calling people who reside in Wyoming traitors wtf 😂 y’all got balls to be hating someone just for having a different opinion than you. If you can’t see that’s a problem then you are lost

You forgot to add Wyo Republicans cesured liz, way back in 2021. We haven't recognized her for quite some time.

Hurry up!!

My crystal ball reveals an Ambassadors post somewhere ... UN?

Keep after it Rep. Cheney! Protect America!

From where, exactly?

Democrats literally in tears at the idea there's one less politician wanting to kill kids in foreign countries

She has ovaries…big ones!

History will prove her fight justified.

So much admiration for Liz. She is such a brave woman w/ tremendous integrity. A true Patriot doesn't fight to stay in power but is willing to lose their position to fight for what is right. This is Liz Cheney! 💯🇺🇲 She's being called for bigger and better things than Wyoming .

Wow just like Abraham Lincoln!

I didn't agree with a lot of her policies but I admired her courage, her willingness to stand up for her convictions, and her bravery in calling out the farce that was in office. I hope she continues the fight.

So happy to hear she lost. Now goaway.

The peaks of The Grand Tetons are shedding tears tonight.

ROCK ON🇺🇸 LIZ CHENEY 🇺🇸ROCK ON

ultra leftist trash ‘journalists’ gonna be crying into their pillows tonight without their rino hero staying in Congress to help the Dems with their dirty deeds 🤣🤣🤣

Cope and seethe, libs.

Outside counsel?

StandWithLiz RepLizCheney

A lesson learned the hard way.

Bravo to RepLizCheney for your courageous search for and support of the truth. Thank you and my deepest respect to you.

Great example of a selfish politician NOT doing her job by representing the constituents who voted her in…..bye

Goodbye 👋

As she should! Country over party! Country over traitor trump!!!

The woman is hero.

Let this be the precedent we set for war mongers of all political parties

You go Liz_Cheney

Good luck to her. It will be hard to “fight” him as a civilian with no political power. Bye Felicia.

Spite and hatred are all she has left now.

She'll register Democrat tomorrow

Good riddance 🇺🇸

Whoa

8oz gloves and a ten round bout, I make Liz a 9-2 favorite over Trump. Over/Under on rounds Trump could go, is 2. Take Liz and the unders.

ByeByeLiz we don't care what she does as a private citizen How did she make approximately $6 Million per year in Congress? But TRUMP 🤣🤣

Good aggravates evil in it's very existence. The GQP is obsessively purging good from it's legions.
