Republicans rebuke Liz Cheney in unprecedented moves

Source: Washington Post

SALT LAKE CITY — Republican leaders forged an agreement this week to potentially fund a challenger to Rep. Liz Cheney in Wyoming, and party members are expected to formally condemn her for her work on the Jan. 6 committee Friday, an unprecedented rebuke of an incumbent member of Congress.

As the party met in Salt Lake City this week, the leaders of the Wyoming GOP privately signed a special letter that would allow the national party to financially support Harriet Hageman, Cheney’s primary challenger. The letter officially recognizes Hageman as the presumptive nominee for the seat.

In response to the party passing the “Rule 11” resolution that could fund Cheney’s challenger, a spokesman for Cheney said: “Wyoming Party Chairman Frank Eathorne and the Republican National Committee are trying to assert their will and take away the voice of the people of Wyoming before a single vote has even been cast.”

Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also worked behind the scenes with David Bossie, a top Trump ally, to author and push a resolution that attacked Cheney’s work on the committee, called her a “destructive” force in the GOP and vowed the party would no longer support her.

"Republican leaders forged an agreement this week to potentially fund a challenger to Rep. Liz Cheney in Wyoming"

I know the Republicans got used to forging documents when they submitted multiple slates of fake electors. But they really could have made this decision without resorting to forgery.

Liz & Adam switch, Democrat, then this will surely unveil the two facades Man & Sin, and their money-seeking foolishness. And, so, "if" Man and Sin attempt to onboard elsewhere, i.e., join an overthrow Democracy criminal sinking Republican Cult ship-, it'll kind of balance out but certainly reveal which of the two (FakeAs#) Faces they really want their VA and AZ constituents to really know.

Just saying...

It could persuade a jury you had done something worthy of trial and a new outfit in Federal Orange.

Censured for choosing country over party? Censured for honoring their oaths of office? Being faithful to their oath to the Constitution?
I think the bigger story is about Clark. The former DOJ member that took the 5th over 100 times.

The sad part is the Republicans are too corrupt to see that they are supporting a failed president and a deeply flawed person. Trump tried to get other Republican leaders to help him steal the election.

Saving our democratic republic is paramount. I don't care what side of the tracks your on...

Since it’s unlikely a Democrat could ever win that seat perhaps WY Democrats could band together and support Liz in the Primary.

If I lived in Wyoming I’d vote for her in the primary. I’d even reregister Republican to do it.

Because we can't have that!

They need more conspiracy, lies, and insurrection to regain control.
