Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) continues to receive harsh pushback from members of her own party after voting to impeach Donald Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

"The Wyoming State GOP Party voted MOMENTS AGO to formally censure Liz Cheney for her vote to impeach Trump in the latest example of state Republican parties punishing lawmakers who have gone against supporting the former president," CNN's Daniella Diaz reported Saturday.

"They are also calling on her to 'immediately' resign and the party intends to 'withhold any future political funding' from her. The motion also called on her to repay donations from the state GOP and any county Republican Parties to her 2020 re-election campaign," she noted.

AS a note from someone that lived in Wyoming for over 15 years, there are 23 counties in the state, 10 so far have voted for her to be censured and removed ..................and as I said in a earlier thread I posted this is not going to end well for her in the state.............it's all about oil, coal and coooooowboy hats and that power structure.........

1. My sister lives in northeast Colorado

or, as she describes it, Southern Wyoming.
A right wing troglodyte named Ken Buck is her Congressman.
She says she doesn’t worry when voting, since she knows that Denver and Boulder will overwhelm her area in the statewide vote.

5. That is not the case in Wyoming now, I was helping to re-elect the former Governor of the Wyoming

Edgar Jacob Herschler and when he vetoed the homeowners tax credit everything started to change

2. WY Repugs embarrassed themselves by inviting Matt Gaetz.

3. Did she tell them to pound sand?

4. She's only popular in a few counties...

I listened to news about her campaigns while living in an adjacent state. I was surprised she won in the first place.

6. I'm simply not going to defend her.

But I will say they ALL (republicans) got the GOP they wanted. Well, maybe the one some of them thought they wanted.

Otherwise, they would not have made all those appeals to prejudice and fear year after year (after year after year).

They appealed to the worst elements of human behavior and now some of them can't seem to understand why those walking/talking worst elements have turned on them.

7. "Resolved: that the WY GOP shall henceforth be the party of window-smashing cop-killing mobs"

8. Too bad she couldn't choose a (D) to replace herself with

They would really get bent over that.

9. Good move, go after the daughter of the prince of fucking darkness

I'll be over here, rooting for debilitating injuries on both sides.

10. Instead of resigning, she should challenge McCarthy for Minority Leader of the House.

Make them choose.

11. Be warned!

There is going to be serious drift of anti-Trumpist (for want of a better term) republicans into the Democratic Party with a consequent rightwards shift of the party's centre of gravity.

12. Liz should offer an olive branch to the state party.....

by inviting them on a hunting trip.

13. Kind of sad what the GOP has turned that state into.

I used to work up there a lot from Denver, got to know Dave Freudenthal when he was the US Attorney, later two term governor. Good guy even though a Republican. It started getting nasty up there under Reagan and the BLM fights over government land.

14. Good

Let them rip each other to shreds. I really don't care - do you?



Edited to add: let them be like the church scene in the movie Kingsman: the Secret Service.
