Trump Closes the Door on Liz Cheney With Rip-Roaring Rally for Her Opponent in Wyoming – Opinion

On Friday, we reported that Rep. Liz Cheney, RINO-WY, was facing serious problems in Wyoming. The Club for Growth poll indicated that Cheney was now 30 points behind Harriet Hageman, her Trump-endorsed opponent. I think it’s fair to say that if Hageman beats Cheney in the primary, she’s the new member of Congress from Wyoming, since there’s no real Democratic hope there. About 70% of Wyoming’s registered voters are Republicans. More of them voted in Trump’s favor in 2020 than Cheney.

If those poll numbers weren’t enough, Trump intends to close the door on Cheney completely: he held a rally in Casper, Wyoming, in support of Hageman. The crowd was overwhelming.

Trump attacked Cheney, not just for voting against him, he also accused Cheney of selling out America to his left and going all-in on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“Wyoming thought you were electing a conservative warrior, but instead, you got a lapdog for [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi,” Mr. Trump told the crowd Saturday.

“Liz Cheney hates the voters of Wyoming,” he said. “Wyoming deserves a congresswoman who stands up for you and your allies, not one who spends all of her time putting you down after going after your president in the most vicious way possible.” [….]

“There is no RINO in America who has thrown in her lot with the radical left more than Liz Cheney.”

“She has gone crazy.”

He went on to attack Ms. Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney, the former Vice President under President George W. Bush, as “die-hard globalists and warmongers who have been plunging us into new conflicts for decades.”

“The people of Wyoming are going to tell her ‘Liz, you’re FIRED,” Mr. Trump said Saturday.

“All of America is counting on you, Wyoming,” he said.

Trump was also a bit playful with Cheney by using a meme which combined her face and that of George W. Bush.

Hageman highlighted one big metric that is causing a lot of suffering for Americans across the country and is likely to resonate with a lot of people in Wyoming — how Biden has gone after the energy industry, driven prices up, and harmed America’s energy independence.

Contrast between Donald Trump’s policies which allowed America prosper and Joe Biden’s policies, that drove her mad, is stark.
