Wyoming Republican Party leaders moved to allow the Republican National Committee to support Harriet Hageman, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump in her primary run against Rep. Liz Cheney, on a financial basis.
The move underscores the Republican mobilization against Cheney and could have just as big of an impact on the race as the RNC moving to rebuke Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger by censuring them for sitting on the House select committee formed to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But it is also prompting outrage from the Cheney campaign and other candidates in the race, who paint the move to declare a nominee months ahead of the Aug. 16 primary as “un-American” and “trying to play a trick on the voters.”
Republican National Committee Rule 11 prohibits the national party from contributing money or in-kind aid to any candidates before they become nominees through a primary or convention with two exceptions: if the candidate is unopposed after the filing deadline for the nomination or if the three RNC members from the state (the state party leader, the national committeeman, and the national committeewoman) give their written approval to the RNC to support the candidate.
Wyoming Republican Party Chairman Frank Eathorne, National Committeeman Corey Steinmetz, and National Committeewoman Nina Webber did just that, essentially declaring Hageman, an attorney and former RNC national committeewoman, the presumptive nominee, according to a report from the Washington Post.

Ya see, these inside the beltway procedural tricks are only supposed to be used to help Establishment candidates get the upper hand.
But when the shoe's on the other foot, well...
Why not fire the Lizard right now? She’s obviously a fake.
I’m betting Liz-ard will run as an independent and split the winner takes all voting.
“Wyoming GOP move to allow RNC to fund Cheney challenger spurs outrage..”
Wyoming GOP move to allow RNC to fund Cheney challenger spurs outrage..by Cheney.
It worked for Murkowski.
Does WY have a “sore loser” law?
Boo friggin' hoo, missie Lizzie. You shoulda thought of that before you violated Reagan's Eleventh Commandment.
What did this ditzy b*tch think would happen? Wyoming gave Trump the biggest win margin in the country, 70%-27%. Does she honestly think she is entitled to represent them because of her Daddy’s name?
You mean all the money Daddy Cheney paid to have others run in the primary to split the vote was for nothing?
.
The GOP in Washington supports her.
And they are sending money her way.
The GOP ran Ads in Alaska to repay Murkowski for her positions.

Cool, the opposition’s got nothing and this is within the rules.
Give them a box of Kleenex and send them home.
Anyone supporting Cheney should come see me.
And yet the NRSC..R senate fund is giving to Lisa Murkowski’s campaign.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA, game ova.
Does Wyoming have a sore loser law? If Cheney is defeated in the primary can she still run as an independent?
You inviting us in for a drink or meeting us at the door with a 12-guage?
Payback’s a bitch, bitch.
Other than Chaney who is outraged?
The RNC woman on the phone said they were getting ready to start supporting primary challengers to these @ssholes. I didn’t mention Lizard Cheney by name, but she probably assumed this was exactly who I had in mind.
I thought she was full of crap, but apparently not.
