While speaking at a recent campaign rally for Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary opponent in Casper, former President Donald Trump unloaded on Cheney and her family.
Trump has endorsed Cheney’s opponent, Cheyenne-based attorney Harriet Hageman in the August 16 Wyoming Republican primary.
“The Cheneys are diehard globalists and warmongers who have been plunging us into new conflicts for decades, spilling American blood and spending American treasure all over the world,” Trump stated.
“That’s why Liz Cheney voted no on bringing our troops back home from Syria, where they didn’t even want to have us,” he continued. “Cheney is at the front of the parade trying to get us to go into wars with Russia or anyone else that wants to bite.”
“The Cheneys are die-hard globalists and warmongers who have been plunging us into new conflicts for decades.”

“She’s the face of the Washington swamp and the same failed foreign policy of the Clintons, Bushes, the Obamas, the Bidens and the entire sick political establishment,” Trump commented.
Cheney has been one of the most vocal critics of Trump within the Republican Party, voting to impeach him after the protest at the Capitol on January 6 in addition to serving on the House committee investigating the protest.
In 2021, the Wyoming Republican Party voted to cease recognition of Cheney as a member of the party due to her intense opposition to Trump. In fact, nationally, she was removed from her role as conference chair by House Republicans.
Cheney formally announced her reelection campaign in a video address shown below.
“Some things have to matter,” Cheney said in the video. “American freedom, the rule of law, our founding principles, the foundations of our republic matter. What we do in this election in Wyoming matters.”
“I’m asking for your vote because this is a fight we must win,” she explained.
A poll conducted by the Club for Growth PAC from May 24-25, 2022, found Cheney’s opponent Hageman to be leading by about 30 points among likely Wyoming Republican primary voters.
The Wyoming Republican primary is set to take place on August 16.
