Bobbie and Bill Kilberg were expecting a few dozen people for their fundraiser Monday for GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, an intimate cocktail party they were planning at their home in McLean, Virginia.
But in the weeks since the Republican National Committee voted to censure Cheney for her involvement in the ongoing House select committee investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the couple was flooded with requests to come and meet the congresswoman and the event's special guest, Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney.
So many people RSVP'd yes that Monday's event was moved to another, larger venue. The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.
The donor interest isn't all for Cheney's reelection bid for her House seat in Wyoming. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.
"We are moving beyond Donald Trump," Bobbie Kilberg told CNN. "Enough, already. Enough's enough."
Kilberg and other allies insist Cheney remains focused on her reelection to the House this year, which includes a daunting primary challenge from her onetime adviser Harriet Hageman. Trump has endorsed Hageman, who has all but cleared the field of Republican challengers, and defeating Cheney remains one of the former President's top priorities in the midterm cycle.
But several Republicans have said it's not out of the question she could seek the GOP nomination for president if Trump runs again.
"Would it surprise me? Not even in the slightest," said Landon Brown, a state representative in Wyoming and one of the few elected Republicans there publicly backing Cheney in the primary.

Fake news from CNN.
“fundraiser… …in McLean, Virginia.
With her constituents…”
Agreed
And they don’t see anything wrong with it.
Keep sharp the Guillotine.
But not Republican voters. So, I could care less if the big donors are wasting their money. 🙂
Me too!!!!
“The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.”
Wow.
That many?
I’m impressed. This is DEFINITELY the one that’ll do Trump in.
(Do I really need a /sarc?)
“Republican” donors
You could care less? Well I couldn’t.

ALL the people I met in Wyoming in 2001 when I rode my horses across the Pony Express Trail were not the kind who would support a Liz Cheney.
Wyoming voters are not going to even see their propaganda and when you work in the oil patch or have to drive a hour just to get to a Walmart, you care more about Trump’s energy policy than “Republican ideas”.
Cnn is on drugs
The only ones lining up to see here are Rino’s and leftist democrats.
Not one of these VA/DC swamp creatures can vote in a Wyoming election. Money isn’t the only resource determining an election.
There goes CNN trying to pick the candidate again.
Sorry, not gonna work.

If Cheney is so popular, why is only one state Republican rep supporting her?
Jeb Bush raised $114,000,000 for his run and got three votes.
Just Sayin’
Wow 75 people!! \sarc
Though I do prefer couldn't actually. 🙂
Money will only take you so far.
How much less, couldn’t you care. 😜
