Cheney releases recording of her call to Harriet Hageman, conceding her loss in the Wyoming US House primary on Tuesday

Liz Cheney has released her concession call to Harriet Hageman, after the Trump-backed Republican who won the Wyoming US House primary on Tuesday told Fox News her rival had not made “any kind of concession or anything else”.

Cheney gave a recording of the call to Politico. In it, she said: “Hi, Harriet, it is Liz Cheney calling. It is about 8.13 [pm] on Tuesday the 16th. I’m calling to concede the election and congratulate you on the win. Thanks.”

Hageman beat Cheney, a three-term congresswoman, in a landslide.

Why do they always tell such horrid lies? Maybe she didn't have time to check her voicemail.

1. Lies are what gives them magacred

They all only want to hear and believe the worst of any situation.
Poor victims is their self image.

[hay rick]

44. magacred LOL.

Sadly, saying lying is a feature, not a bug, should be snark, but it's not. I've come to believe it's a leadership test. If you can't tell a bald-faced lie in public you are useless to the MAGA crowd. They don't have any principles that they stand behind- they just want somebody who will spit in the face of the people they dislike.

[randr]

49. xakly right!

[Effete Snob]

2. Lying is their sacrament

They work for the father of all lies.

[Rebl2]

21. So true

They learned at the feet of the slob father.

[2naSalit]

52. +1

[JohnSJ]

3. They are such lying scum. Lesson is when talking to a repuke, always have a witness or a recording

when they lie

[CentralMass]

4. Lying is their native tongue.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. A MAGAt lied?

Color me shocked.

[Omnipresent]

13. I know, they are always so truthful and honest!

[Midnight Writer]

6. That is her exact excuse. She is so busy she hasn't checked her phone.

She made her claim Cheney had not called after Cheney publicly stated she had called her opponent to concede.

I reckon Hageman is just lying. Creating an alternative reality for her voters, who need to feel offended and vindicated.

[Lasher]

9. So if she hadn't checked her phone,

she should not have made the claim. That's the way it is in my universe.

[EYESORE 9001]

22. Her excremental followers probably get a vicarious thrill

by thinking that Liz Cheney is all sad and butthurt.

[Traildogbob]

34. I guess

She has not answered the phone since J6, 2020 and did not hear trump lost in a landslide. That’s one busy Birthday Party Clown rental there.

[Cosmocat]

48. This is what any reasonable person would think

Which means it is lost on the "base."

[OMGWTF]

51. Al-Quida translates into "the base."

[nuxvomica]

28. She actually knew she got the call and lied about its content

Hageman told Fox News that Cheney had “left a very brief two-second message on my cell phone” Tuesday night, without addressing “any kind of concession or anything else.” According to audio provided by the Cheney campaign to POLITICO, however, Cheney called Hageman to concede the race at 8:13 p.m. on Tuesday night.

[MagickMuffin]

7. Liz KNEW to record it, They live in an alternative reality

Unfortunately, they want us to live in it to.

Unfortunately, for them, WE will not.

[flor-de-jasmim]

8. Who records their own phone calls? Liz certainly knows the sea she swims in.

[Marcuse]

36. A rec button on my iPhone would come in handy.

[Emile]

10. They love to play the persecuted card. Even if they

have to lie out their ass.

[Novara]

11. a lying republican

how unusual

[jaxexpat]

19. Republicans' internal war. How sweet the sound.

Tramping out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. What a mess they make.

[vlyons]

12. Wow that is incredible

Ya know, it would have been so simple and easy to say, "Cheney called me and conceded." Hageman didn't even have to be gracious enough to say that Cheney had congratulated her on the win.

It must really be sad to go through life with such bitterness and hatred. To see life thru a filter of hatred towards everyone, who isn't another MAGAT. No gratiousness or decency towards others. Not letting people be OK if they deviate from your worldview in the slightest. Very sad.

[Caliman73]

50. Their sense of persecution drives them.

If you think about it, if they did not have "an enemy" to always be fighting, what would motivate them? Conservatives seem to thrive on fear and resentment, especially the rank and file type members. If they were not always angry and looking at the "other" who was trying to steal from them, they might actually look at the policies of their party and realize that they are being played for fools.

[Mad_Machine76]

14. So

The party of election deniers is now lying about other people (not) denying elections?!

[Heather MC]

15. Oh Wyoming What have you done to yourself messing girl🤦🏾‍♀️

[Me.]

16. She & All Of Them Are Such Stupid Liars & Think Everyone Is Too

Smart of Liz C. to cover her back.

Doesn't bode well for the Hagerman

[kacekwl]

17. The lie is the 1st thing you hear.

The correction is irrelevant after you hear the lie. The Republicans know that cause fox news showed them how.

[IronLionZion]

18. They tell lies that are so easily disproven

without any shame. Calling them out doesn't bother them. Maybe Hageman should cry election fraud, or fake news, or whatever MAGA types keep saying even after they win.

[hibbing]

26. And it is the lie their supporters will believe, regardless n/t

[DFW]

20. This will be the verbal equivalent of Trump shooting someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight

The blatant lie will not cost her one vote. That is what our Republicans have become. It's exactly like Barney Frank said over ten years ago. Having a discussion with a Republican is like having a discussion with a dining room table. There are no ears on the other end of the discussion to hear you.

[RoeVWade]

23. As bad as it is, it's a gift to fighting against claims of election deniers.

n/t

[Norbert]

24. I worry about this country.

Because lying is so commonplace with these MAGAs. What does it tell kids that are growing up?

[Evolve Dammit]

41. same here. It is a pandemic; a prerequisite for MAGAT membership and seen as a virtue.

The more outrageous and baldfaced the better

[G2theD]

25. MAGA cannot stop lying - even after winning!

[gratuitous]

27. And what the hell difference does it make?

The result of the election is that the person with the most votes wins. Whether the other persons running concede or not is immaterial. But the Cult has convinced itself that conceding or not conceding means the outcome is still contested (it's not).

[Lasher]

31. And remember this:

Her hero, TFG, has not conceded to this day. Regardless, she goes on TV and lies about Cheney not conceding. The irony is so thick you could stir it with a stick.

[Evolve Dammit]

42. We're about to find out with GOP running elections commissions willing to lie in key states.

[Mr. Ected]

29. Wyoming deserves whatever is in store for it

May the jackboots make all of their lives a living hell.

[viva la]

30. Trumpers are usually a-holes

"It's a feature, not a bug." They want to make themselves aggrieved and victimized and at the same time oppressive. It's ugly.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

32. Yes, Rs lie! Yet, will Cheney endorse Lynette Greybull (D) who is running against

Last edited Thu Aug 18, 2022, 01:52 PM - Edit history (6)

...Hageman, or will she vote for the Republiklan Party candidate regardless of his/her hatred for everyone non Christian, nonwhite, LGBTQ..a party that say they adhere to rule of law-- lie, party who says the support Intel agencies that protect U.S--a lie. Will she vote for change? Cheney referenced Lincoln..they all do--the party of Lincoln ended the day he was assassinated..when his hate driven, slave supporting VP, Andrew Johnson (D-kkk Confederate D) [Lincoln chose him as his running mate--was wise on Lincoln's part to get reelected had he lived] took the reins that led to jimcrowkkk policies--the Republikkklan party that exists today. Answer NO, no she won't endorse Democratic candidate and YES she'll vote for Hageman bc imo she's a republican who adheres to what the Republican Party stands for in 2022..fascism/racism.

Cheney had a national audience listening to her the night of her patriotic speech. Yet, did she announce her endorsement for Greybull? She could have said..let's move to make the Republiklan party better, more inclusive..lets defeat the GOP as it is today--lets shed it's animas towards the OTHER, be a party of inclusion and ask republican voters across the nation to vote Democrat..let's clear our party of all those who want to take us back to jimcrow south. Yet, she chose not to, she did what Republiklans always do--protect white supremacy perhaps not as bombastic as racist#45 kkknazi, yet a racist just the same--only the "nice" Republicans do it with a smile. Maybe I'm wrong about Cheney--perhaps she'll advocate for change within her party.

Democrat against Hageman says it will be a “David and Goliath” campaign
Wyoming Public Radio | By Taylar Stagner
Published August 16, 2022

Lynette Greybull won the Democratic Party’s nomination for Wyoming's U.S. House seat. Greybull won the nomination in 2020 against Cheney as well. She said she’s ready to fight for it again.

“It's definitely a David and Goliath type of campaign,” she said on primary election night.

Greybull is Northern Arapaho and resides on the Wind River Reservation. She wants to use her platform to shed light on the importance of renewable energy and social issues.

“I want to gear my campaign towards values, family values, values that concern humanity, values that concern the marginalized communities such as the Indigenous community and the LGBTQ Two Spirit community,” said Greybull. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/tribal-news/2022-08-16/democrat-against-hageman-says-it-will-be-a-david-and-goliath-campaign&ved=2ahUKEwjAw5P40ND5AhWFLEQIHbflCLIQvOMEKAB6BAgKEAE&usg=AOvVaw0D5p6125un7QYVgrv7jFLF

33. Lying is a feature, NOT A BUG !! FAUX NEWS is not going to call them on it and their voters don't

watch MSN, CNN or Democracy Now.

[JohnnyRingo]

35. Might as well start practicing her lying now.

That way when she takes over the seat she can hit the road running.

[Roc2020]

37. That's the reason I'm concerned

with the GOP, but not scared. Lies are their number one tool. Lies. That means they are Cursed.

[lame54]

38. I'm confused - in maga world is not conceding good or bad?

[BOSSHOG]

39. Joe Biden just tweeted

DONALD TRUMP HAS YET TO CONCEDE OR ANYTHING ELSE.

Actually our President has much more important things to contend with.

[dsc]

40. It is actually worse than what many here have said

she didn't just not listen to the phone call, she sent her spokesperson out with an altered tape of the call (Hi Harriet, and 10 seconds of silence)

[calimary]

43. Gee. A Trump-backed winner - lying.

Gee whooda thunkit?

And she’s lying before she even takes the job.

God help us.

[modrepub]

45. "Never tell the truth when a lie will do"

-E Garak

[SouthernDem4ever]

46. Incredible. Can't even wait to get sworn in before she starts lying

Typical lying Qanon trump supporting asshole.

[jmowreader]

47. Let me guess

Trump told her “go on Fox News and claim she didn’t concede. That way, not only can we claim she’s a traitor for going against me, we can say she’s a sore loser too and all the people who voted for her will vote for you in November.”

I figure Hageman is going to be a one-term wonder like Cawthorn. When it turns out she’s worse at taking care of her constituents than she is at applying makeup, some cattle rancher who’s got enough employees to not have to be heavily involved in his business will run against her in the 2024 primary and win.

[mopinko]

53. file under- tell a lie when the truth would do.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

54. Who is surprised by this?

A republican lying should surprise no one

[dalton99a]

55. Depraved, brazen, shameless.

56. Liz Cheney always has receipts.
