Wyoming GOP votes to stop recognizing Cheney as a Republican

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-liz-cheney-wyoming-casper-1966d793df2baa85e0fecad4026b0e99

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.

Amazing, you can be the daughter of a war criminal in the Republican Party, but that doesn't count anymore. Amazing....only took 20 years. Because, you are nutz enough. Is there a Cheney Wing remaining? I'd suggest going Independent.

Does she want to be associated with them? Hopefully she has votes identified.

If I was her I would do an op-ed piece in local newspapers.

Ideological purity.

Loyalty to the Donald above our country.

Cheney is as Repuke as they come, as shown by her vote on the now Infrastructure law.
