Harriet Hageman: How I beat Liz Cheney
Washington Examiner/MSN ^ | September 1 2022 | Byron York

Posted on 09/06/2022 9:31:49 PM PDT by NeverCheney

Harriet Hageman is the environmental lawyer who defeated incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney by a landslide in Wyoming's much-watched Republican House primary. Hageman, who will surely trounce token Democratic opposition in the general election, is now getting ready to take office. She was in Washington this week — not for that preparation but to argue in a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency over its disastrous actions causing the Gold King Mine disaster in Colorado in 2015. That's the kind of thing she does in her life as a lawyer.

While in Washington, Hageman sat down with me to record an episode of my podcast. The talk gave her a chance to discuss the race against Cheney, how she won, what it means, and what she plans to do when she takes office.

To be fair, a bowl of unrefrigerated potato salad with a paper sign sticking out of it reading “Not Liz Cheney” in crayon would have beaten Liz Cheney in this election by at least four points... but Hageman really leaned into her mission and built up some good momentum. I’m interested to see what comes next for her and I hope she serves and represents the residents of her home state well.

The two primary reasons Hageman beat Cheney are that Trump supported her and she is not Liz Cheney.

By focusing on Wyoming instead of thinking she is a GOPe Congressman at large, untethered to any particular state.

Like a rented, red-headed step-mule.

The back end of the mule fits Lizzy better than a car. Anyway folks in Wyoming aren’t stupid. Lizzy didn’t do $hit for the state hopefully Hagemon will do far better.

In all fairness, Hageman doesn’t deserve any of the credit for this victory. It was all done by Liz Cheney. All Hageman did was not be Liz Cheney.

An environmental attorney. O my. What a step up from Cheney. Maybe she is defending land owners and oil drillers

Then get off your azz and tour Wyoming like Hageman did. Bet you look at it a little differently.

I’m sure it was quite easy. Just offer the locals to represent them instead of representing the DC Swamp. Liz Cheney had no time for Wyoming. Instead for her it was all about her and how she could advance her own personal agenda.

Lizard beat herself with traitorous words and actions

But congratulations nonetheless. Do something Lizard didn’t do, represent the great people of Wyoming appropriately

They Republicans could have held a statewide drawing of random names and crush Lizard, but Hageman did work hard and took nothing for granted. She will be a great member of Speaker Jordan’s team.

I listened to the Byron York podcast, Hageman seems to have done a lot of good things for Americans. She’s pushed back against government intrusion in our lives. I hope she gets to continue doing so.
