Liz Cheney was overtaken in the Republican primary in Wyoming by the candidate backed by Donald Trump . According to projections from the New York Times, Harriet Hageman got 61% of the vote against 31% of the daughter of former George W. Bush vice president Dick Cheney.
The result therefore marks the announced defeat of Cheney, the great opponent of Donald Trump , the last of the ten rebel Republicans who had voted for the impeachment of the former president .
"The United States cannot be ruled by a mob on social media," Liz Cheney said in her Wyoming speech after her defeat in the Republican primary. The congresswoman accused Donald Trump of publishing the names of the FBI agents who participated in the search in Florida . "He did it on purpose and maliciously," he attacked. Cheney then cited Abraham Lincoln who lost congressional elections but then "won the most important and held our Union together." "Now the real work begins," said the deputy, quoting the words of the former US president.
"This is a magnificent result for America - the comment of Donald Trump - and the rejection of the Commission not chosen by the bandits and illegals. Liz Cheney should be ashamed for the way she acted, for the bigoted words and the actions towards the other". "Now - added Trump - it can disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, it will be much happier than where it is now. Thanks Wyoming".
