Following her appearance in the January 6 show trial, Liz Cheney is not only seen by the voters in Wyoming as a total disgrace, it has become evidently clear that her political career is doomed and on August 16 primary, Liz Cheney will be defeated by Harriet Hageman, a natural resources lawyer in the state by huge margin.
At 11 am local time, as the January 6 committee was beginning its seventh hearing back in Washington, Harriet Hageman walked up to Sally O’Brien, a local supporter, and shook her hand.
“I’m supporting [Hageman] because everything that I have read about her, she is a true Wyomingite,” O’Brien told Yahoo News. “She’s a real conservative.”
As for Cheney, O’Brien said, “She doesn’t live here, for starters. She doesn’t really represent us. She says she’s a constitutionalist, but she doesn’t believe in justice for all, only for the Jan. 6 people.”
The methodical and compelling body of evidence produced by the January 6 committee, showing former President Donald Trump’s involvement in a plan to overturn the 2020 election, seems to have had little impact on Wyoming voters ahead of the Aug. 16 Republican primary here. Instead, some see Cheney’s role on the committee as another reason not to support her.
“She betrayed the voters of Wyoming with her Jan. 6 show trial,” said one local businessman, Bob Ide, a candidate for state Senate who also took part in the “rodeo parade” on the back of a horse, wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a Wyoming flag.
Hageman, who has refused to acknowledge that the 2020 presidential election was legitimate, is one of several pro-Trump Republicans challenging Cheney in next month’s GOP primary. Buoyed by the former president’s endorsement, Hageman is Cheney’s main opponent in the contest, and has led by large margins in several polls.
Even one of Cheney’s supporters, state Sen. James Anderson, who marched with other Cheney backers in the parade, expressed displeasure with the direction the Jan. 6 committee has taken.
“I thought the committee was supposed to be finding out if there was any un-American activities going on with the event that day, but I think it’s gotten clear off from that. I think it’s taken after Trump completely, and maybe it’s a little misguided now,” Anderson told Yahoo News.
Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been making frantic bids in somehow indicting Donald Trump and stop him for running in the 2024 presidential elections.
Despite her staunchly conservative voting record, Cheney is now the underdog in the race for Wyoming’s sole House seat. The deep-red state voted for Trump by over 40 points in 2020, and the winner of the GOP primary is all but assured of victory in November’s general election.
Cheney’s sudden inclination towards the left and her role almost replicating any Democrat is almost at the end of her political career. While she keeps saying “I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office”, it evidently proves, she also now has emerged into a Hillary Clinton prototype individual who is committed in stopping Republicans from willing the 2024 presidential elections.
With just slightly more than one month from now, on August 16, Liz Cheney’s political fate will be sealed and she will definitely be dumped into garbage bin.
