Wyoming State Lawmaker Issues Direct Challenge to Anti-Trump Congresswoman: 'It Is Time to Get Rid of Liz Cheney'
Western Journal ^ | March 6, 2021 | Kipp Jones

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming might be popular with members of Washington, D.C.’s elite class after she’s attacked former President Donald Trump in recent months, but it doesn’t look like that popularity matters where it counts: with her own voters.

In the weeks since Cheney voted with Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to impeach former President Donald Trump, her popularity has waned and she’s now attracted at least two serious primary challengers. One of those challengers, Wyoming state Rep Chuck Gray, recently told Just The News that it’s time for his state’s voters to “Get rid of Liz Cheney” over her betrayal of voters and of the former president.

“It is abundantly clear to those of us who actually live in Wyoming that Liz Cheney views her positions as nothing more than a stepping stone, and we’re just supposed to go along with it. Well, not anymore. Wyoming agrees with President Trump … it is time to get rid of Liz Cheney,” Gray said in a statement to Just The News.

“My proven record of leadership for the people of Wyoming is the polar opposite of hers, and it is why I am proud to announce my intent to seek the Republican Party’s nomination to serve the citizens of Wyoming in the United States House of Representatives,” he added.

Gray also issued a blistering attack ad that put Cheney on notice.

If they want to defeat her they'd better get behind ONE candidate in the primary. Republicans always screw themselves with too many candidates & then Dems cross over & vote for the worst one.

Exactly right, she could conceivably win with 30-35% of the vote in a 3-way race...the only way to defeat her is to pick one and lay waste to her political career.....

A Trump endorsement would be huge for the right person.

It’s also time to get rid of the 145 that voted to retain her in leadership.

We will never Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.

In addition to coalescing behind one challenger, they need to watch out for a 3rd party candidate who’s going to run (usually as a Libertarian) that will say the Republican candidate is too moderate. That’s the newest trick of the uniparty. And that’s usually after the challenger win.

Absolutely.

Get an anti-Cheney AlwaysTrumper American to run as a Democrat in case she wins the primary.

Republicans don’t screw themselves, it’s a deliberate GOPe tactic.

Republicans screw their constituents.

Her nominal Wyoming residence is in 0bama/BiZiden [Teton] County.

I’d hold that against her for not representing the majority of Wyoming.

This could work, he’s a former radio talker so he ought to know how to communicate with people in WY. And he’s from Casper, which is a blue collar place, not liberal Laramie or posh Jackson Hole where elites like the Cheney’s hold court.

I think WY is going to turn into the new Hamptons. Even Kanye West has a mansion in WY.

Do we know who these 145 traitors are yet? This was a secret vote correct?

Yes, they want to hide that they are Assistant Democrats.

That’s only Jackson. And a lot of “live there” as a tax haven since Wyoming has no state income tax. Plus the scenery is great, but only in the Northwest corner.

If anyone were to actually investigate West’s actual residency - like say, the California State Franchise Tax Board - I suspect that Jackson would end up being a bit less popular.

Anyone who’s been there in February might understand why it’s not really a popular place to live.

It beez COLD there in Feb. Even when it’s snowing, which is unusual. Only thing that makes it bearable is the Titters block the wind; go east to the Wind River range around that time - or even east of the Gros Vente range - and the wind chill will put you down around -30F at least a few days out of the year.
