Former President Donald Trump strengthened his grip over the Republican Party on Tuesday evening with Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary loss in Wyoming.
Harriet Hageman, a Trump-endorsed lawyer, defeated Cheney, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ and Insider.
Cheney, who’s held Wyoming’s sole congressional seat for five years, had been Trump’s main target in his revenge plot to purge the Republican Party of members he deems disloyal to him. She was the highest-ranking Republican to vote to impeach him over the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and she’s been one of his loudest critics since. As vice chair on the House committee investigating the Capitol attack, Cheney has pushed back on Trump’s 2020 election lies and sought to cast him as a threat to the country.
Her defeat in Wyoming delivers Trump his biggest primary victory this year. …

Sometimes purging is necessary.
She’s now supporting the FBI raid and accusing Republicans of violence against the FBI.
Many of us have waited for this day to Come.
The Wicked Hag Witch Is Politically Dead.
I really hope the tide is turning. Sort of like how in Texas when Mayra Flores was selected as the first Mexican Republican in a Democrat stronghold. I know Hispanics are tired of the Biden and liberal BS, especially the stupid “Latinx” word that the woke people use to give themselves a tingly feeling.
Trump didn’t take her out, she did that herself.
The woman’s a damn Traitor.
She cooperated full on with the mafia criminal posing as the Speaker of the House instead of sticking with her party and the minority leader who had proposed other party members to bring balance to the show trial Inquisition.
You’d think a nominal Protestant would know better.
But she went further. She voted for the impeachment of her party’s President on flimsy, partisan grounds in one of the most grotesque displays of turncoatism in American history. This was the #3 Republican in the House? Seriously?
Trump’s endorsement of her opponent was incidental and expected. But ANY ordinary person would have judged her harshly.
Wyoming voters took an axe
and gave Lizzie forty whacks.
When Alaskans saw what they had done,
they gave Murkowski forty-one.
I love that........lol
Good news! Cheney’s 30% or so she’s expected to win is curiously similar to the 2020 Biden result, isn’t it?
“Liz had ALL the advantage of the backing of the Legacy News..she had ALL the money..and her DAD the RINO group fully behind her, as an INCUMBENT..she should have won hands down. I HOPE politicians are watching.”
Totally agree, but what’s scary is that with all of the above, plus an otherwise excellent voting record (until recently), she would have made a FORMIDABLE candidate for the top job. All she had to do was fake liking (or at least tolerating) Trump.
Now she’ll spend her old age with Peter Stroke on CNN.
Need to update your list. However, IMHO, Ben Sasse is an ass and should be target #1 before he gets anymore ensconced.
Deal with the Turtle and Linda next. It gives them more time to fear what’s coming after Sasse.

The hate for Dick Cheney was a pantomime meant to fool people into thinking the GOP and the DNC are actually different instead of one Uniparty. Now we see the truth, Cheney is one of them and Trump isn't.
“I won this primary 2 years ago with 73% and I could have done it again .... BUT Trump” was pretty much what she was saying - the usual nauseating fare. She’ll be insufferable until January when her term is over & probably much worse after, with a LIB media gig or running for national office.
We have got to get Merkowski PLEASE Alaska MAGA patriots come out in DROVES and help us get rid of this BITCH!! Kelly will be so much better for Alaska!!
Liz Cheney, on herself, which is her only love.
“...target in his revenge plot to purge the Republican Party of members he deems disloyal to him.”
And this is why the liberals are called liars. Trump isn’t interested in purging disloyal republicans for himself. He’s doing it for the people that expect conservative values and lawfulness of which Liz Chaney has not even come close to accomplishing.
Another one bites the dust.

There’s 15% Dems in the state? If every dim cheated and crossed over, not many did, they’re too lazy, so, who are the 20% or so who voted for this POS?
How soon until a flood of fake mail in vooots pop up all for Lon Cheney?
