Liz Cheney suffers impeachment vote blowback at home: 'Couldn't win a primary today for dog catcher'
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, January 15, 2021 | S.A. Miller

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.”

"I hope “She couldn’t win a primary today for dog catcher” will apply to every Republican that did not come to Trump’s defense."

Bears repeating.

I hear that Lee Zeldin or Elise Stefanik are making moves in the Republican Caucus to replace Cheney.

“May this be the end of Liz Cheney’s political career”.

She doesn’t care. She got the big payout/payoff from military industrial complex. She’s set for life financially.

By rights, no Repub who voted to accept the electoral college vote should survive the next election. What would be the point of returning them to office?

I read she is safe in a Blue district filled with wealthy west coasters who have infested Wyoming.

This POS rino has seen better days as has the POS GOP.

Pay back is a MFuker. What goes around comes around. Rather have a real Democrat that a fake Republican Democrat

Remember when she was laughed out of the primary challenge she had for senate a few years back? Any functioning GOP rep out there who wants a seat in congress can have it now

Lee Zeldin would be a far better choice to replace Cheney (IMO). Stefanik is too moderate.

I think the main reason for McCarthy to support her is she has a vagina. He wants the GOP recognized as a “diverse” party.

The GOP doesn’t have clue they are being rejected.
