TFG endorsed challenger to Rep. Liz Cheney once called the former president 'racist and xenophobic
and worked to stop his nominationHarriet Hageman, a former RNC official from Wyoming endorsed by former President Donald Trump to run against Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, was once part of an effort to deny Trump the nomination at the 2016 Republican convention.
The New York Times reported on Monday that Hageman believed Trump was a weak candidate who had become the nominee only through the support of Democrats voting in Republican primaries. She also said the former President was "somebody who is racist and xenophobic."
Hageman, now running with Trump's endorsement in a bid to unseat Cheney, was also once close to the congresswoman herself, serving as an advisor for Cheney's aborted 2014 Senate bid.
The Times reported that Hageman participated in an effort to "unbind" delegates at the 2016 convention via a "conscience provision," freeing them to vote for Ted Cruz rather than Trump, the eventual nominee.

Lindsey Graham must be Hageman's role model.
