Liz Cheney upset many Republicans when she voted to impeach President Trump after the Capitol riot. And now she has a new primary challenger for next year, just announced:
DC EXAMINER – Just two weeks after House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney cast her vote to impeach President Donald Trump, Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard announced he planned to primary Cheney in the midterm election cycle.
Calling Cheney out of touch, Bouchard blasted his fellow Republican, saying in a statement released Wednesday night that “Wyoming was President Trump’s best state both times he ran. That’s because Wyoming voters are strong conservatives who want our leaders to stand up for America, defend our freedoms, fight for our way of life and always put working people first as President Trump did. Liz Cheney’s long-time opposition to President Trump and her most recent vote for Impeachment shows just how out-of-touch she is with Wyoming.”

Wyoming Republicans are revolting in the wake of Rep. Liz Cheney’s vote to impeach President Trump. The state party’s central committee is considering a motion to censure the congresswoman while the party’s chair is “paying attention” to the idea of seceding from the U.S.
“Rep. Cheney has violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party and the will of the people who elected her to represent them,” stated the Carbon County Republican Party.
CARBON COUNTY Not only has the Carbon County Republican Party unanimously voted to formally censure Wyoming Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY), but they have asked her to attend their next meeting.
According to the Carbon County Republican Committee’s post online, “The Carbon County Republican Party has unanimously voted to formally censure U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.”
“Additionally, we have called for her to appear before the members of the body to explain her recent actions to the body, the State Republican Party membership, and the entirety of the concerned Wyoming electorate,” party chairman Joey Correnti IV said in a statement on that post.
