Rep. Liz Cheney’s vote to impeach President Trump put her political future in jeopardy back home in Wyoming, revealed a state GOP official.
Doubts quickly surfaced about her viability in the 2022 GOP primary after she announced her support of impeachment and then led nine other House Republicans on Wednesday in voting to impeach Mr. Trump for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“She couldn’t win a primary today for dog catcher,” said Martin Kimmet, chairman of the Republican Party in Park County, Wyoming.
Ms. Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican leader and the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, went from a rising star into a political nosedive virtually overnight.
“I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls, more than you could count. I have not gotten one in support of what Liz Cheney did,” Mr. Kimmet said. “What she did was wrong. Period.”

Mr. Kimmet wasn’t convinced. “I don’t care how she spins it,” he said. “What she did was wrong.”

(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

You do realize Wyoming only has one seat right?
“I’ll be glad to donate to her replacement’s campaign.”
On Monday, folks should call Liz Cheney’s office and leave messages with staff or on voicemail.
Just tell them how pleased you are to help underwrite her Republican primary challenger.
They really, really hate that.
Thanks for the thought. Good idea.
No, her district is the entire state.
That apple didn’t fall very far from the horse.
1) She'll have a lot more money than any challenger.
2) If there's more than one challenger the anti-Cheney vote will be split. Wyoming doesn't have a run-off so she could get well under a majority in the primary and still get the nomination.
3) You can't beat somebody with nobody. You need to find a candidate who is convincing and has popular appeal and unite behind that candidate.
4) If she does get the nomination, do you seriously want the seat to go to a Democrat?
I did not know that. Curious but assuring. Thank you.
“If she does get the nomination, do you seriously want the seat to go to a Democrat?”
She is willing to cede the field to Democrats.
There are several states that only have one Representative in the US Congress.
The number of Representatives for each state are based upon the population of each state.
Currently, each Representative represents about 750,000 people.
And no state can have zero representatives if their population is less than 750,000
“””If she does get the nomination, do you seriously want the seat to go to a Democrat?”””
around 65% of the WY voted for Trump. They can’t fix that big a spread.

Get her ass out of there!
Have you not seen the damage done Lindsey Graham and Romney?
Biden could have been subpoenaed at any time in 1,460 days with a simple Republican Committee Vote, but they refused!
They single-handedly put Biden in.
‘
The end of our republic, thanks to Pence’s deliberate stab in Trump’s back.
______________________________
Exactly. That smarmy rat bastard Judas. The devil’s fly knew what it was signaling during the VP debate. The thing that hurts the most is, I thought Pence was a man of God. Just like Wm Barr. He really screwed the American people too.
I knew it’s based on population. I mistakenly assumed Wyoming was much more poulated.
If, What If?
The Republican Party in Wyoming will deal with this.
No More RINOS!
Wyoming has only one representative so she is a rare state wide elected representative.
