Tuesday night, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming lost the Republican primary by 37 points to Harriet Hageman. Cheney has drawn relentless fire from Donald Trump for being one of two Republicans on the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. Hageman, on the other hand, ran on a platform of advocating Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election and denouncing efforts to investigate the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Late Tuesday, Trump gloated about Cheney's loss, posting that "Cheney should be ashamed of herself" for standing up against Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The very next day, Georgia's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, filed a 121-page motion asking a judge to reject a subpoena to testify in a case investigating Trump's efforts to steal the state's electoral votes from President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
On the surface, these two events may seem unrelated. The timing, however, is likely not a coincidence.
Kemp has gained an undeserved reputation as a "moderate" since Trump's failed coup efforts in 2020, largely because he refused to void out Biden's win in Georgia in 2020 and declare Trump the winner instead. But Kemp's resistance to Trump's anti-democracy efforts has been reluctant, at best.
Cheney's primary defeat was expected, but there can be no doubt that the size of it sent a chilling message to the rest of the party: Stand by Trump or else. With his refusal to testify against Trump, it seems Kemp got the message loud and clear.

Don’t forget about Dekalb, Clayton, Cobb, Gwinnett
Cobb and Gwinnett were two of the most Conservative places on the planet at one time. Those days are long gone.
The call was released. Interestingly, during it, Raffensberger denied signing the secret Consent Decrees as Pres Trump had a copy in his hand.
There has been some speculation that Raffensberger actually signed it. Some say it was his assistant, the Democrat plant Jordan Fuchs.
Either way, the call shows that what they’re alleging he said, isn’t what he said.
Yet, crossover voting in our open primaries aside, Republican voters still voted for these two morons
And, NO. Kemp didn’t come up with anything. He’s dumber than a box of rocks.
He got real lucky in 2018 because his primary opponent, Cagle, was more corrupt than he is.
Your analysis is spot on.
Amanda, does your mother know you are a whore for the democrat party?
