- “She is bound by her oath to the Constitution,” he continued. “Sadly, a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle, and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man.”
- The 31-29 vote Saturday in Buffalo, Wyoming, by the state party central committee followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming’s 23 counties to no longer recognize Cheney as a Republican.
- The Wyoming Republican Party also voted in February to censure Cheney for her vote to impeach Trump.
- She was ousted from House Republican leadership as the chair of the House GOP conference in May for her criticism of Trump.
- “I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” she said after she was stripped her of her leadership post, the third most powerful GOP slot in the House.
- Despite her criticism of Trump, Cheney remains one of the most conservative members of Congress. She has a 96% positivity rating from the conservative Heritage Foundation.
