Bobbie and Bill Kilberg were expecting a few dozen people for their fundraiser Monday for GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, an intimate cocktail party they were planning at their home in McLean, Virginia.
But in the weeks since the Republican National Committee voted to censure Cheney for her involvement in the ongoing House select committee investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the couple was flooded with requests to come and meet the congresswoman and the event's special guest, Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney.
So many people RSVP'd yes that Monday's event was moved to another, larger venue. The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.
The donor interest isn't all for Cheney's reelection bid for her House seat in Wyoming. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.
"We are moving beyond Donald Trump," Bobbie Kilberg told CNN. "Enough, already. Enough's enough."
Kilberg and other allies insist Cheney remains focused on her reelection to the House this year, which includes a daunting primary challenge from her onetime adviser Harriet Hageman. Trump has endorsed Hageman, who has all but cleared the field of Republican challengers, and defeating Cheney remains one of the former President's top priorities in the midterm cycle.
But several Republicans have said it's not out of the question she could seek the GOP nomination for president if Trump runs again.
"Would it surprise me? Not even in the slightest," said Landon Brown, a state representative in Wyoming and one of the few elected Republicans there publicly backing Cheney in the primary.

CNN any questions?
Republicans like George Will and Anna Navarro I’d bet. Good let them waist their money.
fake news will prop her up
With her constituents…
The die was cast when LTG (Ret) Jay Garner was fired from his job as head of Iraq Reconstruction after a month on the job.
His crime? He stated publicly that he "wanted to turn the country back over to Iraqis as soon as possible...it's their country."
General Garner was a great leader of men. I knew him when he commanded one of the battalions in 108th ADA Group in Germany. Lizzie's dad was pulling those strings behind the scenes.
Ah.... the infamous GOPe donor class.
Globalists who are a little more socially “conservative”.
Any person who contributes to Cheney should be excommunicated from the conservative movement. Just my .02
They might be donors, but they are not Republican.
Wyomians?
As far as her seat in the House, depends on how many Dems crossover and vote for her in the primary.
Remember how the left used to hate the name “Cheney”? Yeah well, they don’t. These are not conservatives supporting Cheney, these are democrat-lites.
I didn’t see a list of all the names.
That’s who runs the GOP.
They are why the GOP obstructed Trump.
They are why the GOP colluded with the Democrats to cheat Trump out.
McLean, VA. Liz Cheneys real home.
At first I said, What/ then I saw it was CNN and knew it was BS. Money ain’t going to get her outta 12% cellar.
I doubt that the reporter found the fundraisers through intrepid investigation. This is most likely a press release folded into a news story.
I’m curious about how these Assistant Democrats propose to win any elections without the REAL conservatives, who are 25% of the voting public.
The guests are the usual romney, bush, crowd.
They know liz is toast. They want to fatten her campaign account to reward her rinoism.
Lol. A fundraiser for the Wyoming Rep in Virginia. You can’t make this stuff up.
It’s a shame that the McLean, VA GOP caucus doesn’t get to pick all of our candidates for us. The folks who live near DC are so much better informed than we hinterland voters that its too bad we both with primaries. /sarc
“Yes, we will have peace ... we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished—and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter a men’s hearts. You hold out your hand it to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just—as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired.”
- King Theoden of Rohan to Saruman ‘The Wise’
She may also run in 2024 or be Mitt’s running mate, if heaven forbid, he gets the nomination. (I’ll vote Rat against them)
