, was defeated in a GOP primary Tuesday, falling to a rival backed by the former president in a rout that reinforced his grip on the party’s base.
The results — and the roughly 30-point margin — were a powerful reminder of the GOP’s rapid shift to the right. A party once dominated by national security-oriented, business-friendly conservatives like her father now belongs to Trump, animated by his populist appeal and, above all, his denial of defeat in the 2020 election.
“Obviously we’re all very grateful to President Trump, who recognizes that Wyoming has only one congressional representative and we have to make it count,” said Hageman, a ranching industry attorney who had finished third in a previous bid for governor. “Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others,” he wrote on his social media platform. “Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. Thank you WYOMING!”. Just eight days earlier, federal agents executing a search warrant recovered 11 sets of classified records from the former president’s Florida estate.
She will continue in her leadership role on the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack until it dissolves at the end of the year. And she is actively considering a 2024 White House bid -- as a Republican or independent -- having vowed to do everything in her power to fight Trump’s influence in her party.In all, seven Republican senators and 10 Republican House members backed Trump’s impeachment in the days after his supporters stormed the U.S.
I like Trump policy's but the arrogant is questionable, no doubt.
Ding dong the LIZard is gone. Which old LIZard the Cheney LIZARD 🦎
Wyoming just took a big crap on itself.
She put it all on the line to do the right thing. Thank you Liz_Cheney
At least she kept her decency and stood for the people . And did not buy into the trump cult
Goodbye Dick Jr.
I hope the people of Wyoming write Liz_Cheney in on the ballot in November, it will be their last chance to save their state, GOP and our country from chaos and a future loss of democracy. RepLizCheney is a national hero.
Cheney didn't lose. If anything, she's a winner!
LOL. She is a looser.
Many of us admire Liz Cheney enormously. Losing Wyoming says much about the state, and little of it good.
Liz stood for the USA, that’s all that matters.
Bye-bye, bye-bye. Just go away and crawl back under the rock from what you came.
Hahahaha
What insurrection? 😂 AP is next
wipe that smile off of your face
Cheney is a loser turncoatLiz
Very sad day. Americans make the strangest choices. They can only blame their choices as the USA continues to unravel itself.
Shameful
This proof haters are out!
There was NO insurrection on 1/6/21. Stop lying
CHENEY 2024!

Nope17623510 Let’s hope all the RINOs are listening. Political backstabbing is a no-no. Rather leave politics.
Ha ha great news for Democracy. Her father was full of hate and no doubt she was following in his footsteps. Imagine the Republican voters wouldn't vote for a candidate who wanted a Republican President jailed, oh the shock 🙄
When you put your full attention on things that are not directly impacting your state’s constituents they’ll find someone who will bring the local focus back. As what happened.
That is very scary.
Good for her
So she used zero evidence to try to convince democrat cultists that there was a supposed coup and she lost. Seems like democracy won tonight.
Run as an independent?
A giant step backward for Wyoming and all men and women of goodwill!
Well we now know where a lot of the cult calls home.
When does she start packing? The sooner the better!
Liz, in you your constituency lost a true champion. I wish you all the best. Thanks for conceding gracefully and not inciting your followers to overturn the results. History will judge you kindly. Our republic need more people like you with honor and dignity/integrity.
Liz Cheney always has been very Republican and even voted with Trump, I'll give her credit for the committee, and I hope a Democrat wins in Wyoming, but a Cheney is always a Cheney, don't ever fully trust them.
Nutjob.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NO LONGER AN ESTABLISHMENT LUKE WARM PARTY OF MEDIOCRITY ---IT'S COMPASSIONATE GOD-BASED-AMERICAN VALUES CONSERVATISM that does what it says it's going to do.That is why so many of us are saying tonight...THANK GOD+Trump+the voters that Liz Cheney lost!!
Since Democrats love her so much, why can’t she just become a Democrat and stand on our ticket? Either as Congresswoman or presidential candidate. She can do much better than she’s doing in the Republicans.
She rolled the dice and over estimated the old Bush Chaney McCain Rhino power and still hopes to play that base to a presidential run of some sort
She will be a hero in our future history books. Integrity matters.
Good riddance! Bye B-tch! Alpha bank hoax, Russia hoax, dossier hoax, Hunter Biden story suppression, the Big Guy Biden proven corruption, fool me once… Another fake hoax! Fake Gretchen kidnapping by FB I, American are not stupid
ThankYouLizCheney History will remember your faithfulness to your oath.
Uh oh something.wrong?
Lizzy the Demon... Meet the voters.
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Better have a recount.
Doesn't say much for Wyoming. In the end, they will find they not only screwed themselves, but they hurt America as well.
She'll be appointed VP after Biden is medically retired after the mid terms. She's basically a democrat anyway and will be accepted by their supporters
Just shows the people do NOT buy into the J6Committee bullshit
We all knew who can read it was never really about justice.
Good good good good good
She also advocates torture, has done nothing for her state, and is an all around pc of garbage that liberals now love.
Of course she did! Anti American Corrupt RINO 😎👍🇺🇸
she’s putting up the chairs and turn off the lights on the non-fascist section of the gop
Actually, she’s not the most outspoken critic of him. She’s the most outspoken GOP critic of t rump. Then there’s Adam as well.
You forgot to help her to make Chenny’s curve, like Biden’s.
There you go. That's why as a Puerto Rican, I believe on the independency of PR. Because the US is going down the drain, and I don't want to be drag alone with them.
Rep. Liz Cheney did turn against Republicans. She did and is assisting in the treasonous, sedition of TFG and his MAGA anti-democracy fascist minions.
Ms. Cheney actually took her oath of office seriously. Very few other Republicans have. Their loyalty is to Trump not our Country.
She didn't LOSE, the GOP (Abe Lincoln's party) had LOST its SANITY to a CON MAN.
Liz hated Trump before he was a Trump. That's how deep her hatred goes.
Bye idiot!! 🖕👋👋
She's going to run for president. This just frees her up to campaign.
Sad day for America.
Despite her loss, Cheney says she plans to stay active in national politics. The 56-year-old Republican described Tuesday’s outcome as “the first step in a much larger fight” and said, “Our work is far from over.”
