RAWLINS, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming Republican Party voted overwhelmingly Saturday to censure U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney for voting to impeach President Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Only eight of the 74-member state GOP’s central committee stood to oppose censure in a vote that didn’t proceed to a formal count. The censure document accused Cheney of voting to impeach even though the U.S. House didn’t offer Trump “formal hearing or due process.”
“We need to honor President Trump. All President Trump did was call for a peaceful assembly and protest for a fair and audited election,” said Darin Smith, a Cheyenne attorney who lost to Cheney in the Republican U.S. House primary in 2016. “The Republican Party needs to put her on notice.”
Added Joey Correnti, GOP chairman in Carbon County where the censure vote was held: “Does the voice of the people matter and if it does, does it only matter at the ballot box?”
Cheney in a statement after the vote said she remained honored to represent Wyoming and will always fight for issues that matter most to the state.
“Foremost among these is the defense of our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees. My vote to impeach was compelled by the oath I swore to the Constitution,” Cheney said.
Republican officials said they invited Cheney but she didn’t attend. An empty chair labeled “Representative Cheney” sat at the front of the meeting room.
The censure vote was the latest blowback for Cheney for joining nine Republican representatives and all Democrats in the U.S. House in the Jan. 13 impeachment vote. Just three months after winning a third term with almost 70%, Cheney already faces at least two Republican primary opponents in 2022.

*************************************************************
The “arrogance” of the above statement by Cheney personifies the entire Deep State cabal. It is essentially a FY middle finger to all of us.
Keep the pressure up. Never give in...
Keep the pressure up. Never give in...
The primary will be flooded with candidates so she will easily win reelection.
I remember Mike Allen of the Washington Post walking around MSNBC in a hunting outfit to mock Mr WMDs why Liz and these people try to curry favor with people who want to destroy her politically is beyond me.
They censure her now and will endorse her in 2022. Watch.
Sounds like Romney’s slut is still in trouble with the GOP. ROTFL.
the problem is Ms Cheney you are NOT representing Wyoming. You are representing yourself and your ambition. Your selfishness has been noted by your constituents.
Cheney just didn’t join 9 other Republicans who voted to impeach the President, she recruited them. We will hear her quoted many times by the Dems during the Senate trial. She must be removed in 2022.
Correct. They'll have some mealy mouthed excuses about needing the support of those who abuse you.
Censuring is a joke. Yank her party membership or it's all Kabuki Theater.
That's the reason that Wyomingtonians should get busy at once to identify the best and brightest and most likely to respect our laws and ways candidates.
As for Liz?
She can have a book ghost written for her and call it something like, hmmm, let's seee...
Got it. "What Happened"
She’s so broken up about it she’s going to instruct her kitchen staff that she can’t bring herself to have a second portion of creme broulee.
Vote her out in the primary. If she survives the primary vote for the Democrat. The Traitor Ten must all be defeated.
I wish the Ohio GOP would get busy and do this to Anthony Gonzalez for his despicable impeachment vote. I keep messaging them and Jane Murphy every day. No response. Jerks.
“””Censure opponents mainly came from Casper, Wyoming’s second-largest city, and the Jackson Hole area near Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks.”””
Casper = Dick Cheney base
Jackson Hole = Liz Cheney base
Nothing will happen to her. The swamp will reward her handsomely.
