(born July 28, 1966)[2] is the At-Large representative of Wyoming, who relies heavily on donations by California and other out-of-state liberals.[3] Cheney accepted an appointment by Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the partisan Pelosi Panel witch hunt investigating the January 6 Capitol protests after a bi-partisan panel had been voted down. Originally elected as a Republican, on May 12, 2021, Cheney was removed from her leadership position within the House GOP conference. The Republican Party of Wyoming voted in November 2021 to no longer recognize her as a Republican due to her persistent unjustified ranting against Donald Trump and his supporters.[4] Cheney lost to her Trump-endorsed rival Harriet Hageman on Jan. 22, 2022 by a vote of 59-6 among GOP leaders in Wyoming.[5] Liz Cheney is the neoconservative daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
In December 2021, Cheney violated basic standards of decency by releasing private text messages provided by Mark Meadows, and then Cheney misleadingly pretended they implicated President Trump when he was not even a sender or recipient of any of the texts. Cheney has gone on a rampage against Meadows and other Republicans, voting to hold Meadows and others in contempt for possible imprisonment.
Since 2017 she has pretended to represent Wyoming in Congress, despite not really living there. Cheney is an heir to a fortune garnered by her father Dick Cheney in $45 million paid to him by the globalist defense contractor Halliburton, as he advanced the neocon agenda prior to becoming Vice President.[6] Like father like daughter, as Liz increased her wealth by $36 million in her 6.5 years in Congress while earning a $174,000 government salary. Only in DC! Her inflated view of herself may have resulted from her role occasionally filling in for Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor.
Cheney opposed standing up against Democrat election fraud on Jan. 6, 2021, and espoused Leftist talking points demonizing President Trump and Trump supporters as “white supremacists” and “domestic terrorists.”
Married to an attorney who is a partner at a wealthy liberal D.C. law firm, Cheney has served in the State Department as a senior Middle East advisor. A neoconservative and RINO, Cheney has attacked and opposed President Trump and many prominent conservatives using lamestream media agitprop to appease the D.C. establishment. After her election to Congress, she served as the chair of the House Republican Conference, but many prominent House Republicans and Wyoming constituents called on her to resign after her disgraceful siding with Dems in their unjustified second impeachment of President Trump. She even “quietly orchestrated a Washington Post op-ed by 10 living former defense secretaries cautioning that then-President Trump might attempt to politicize the military.”[7] As a result, she was removed from her leadership post by House Republicans in May 2021.[8]
United States House of Representatives
2016 election
On February 1, 2016, Cheney announced her candidacy for the Wyoming at-large open seat vacated by Rep. Cynthia Lummis in the House of Representatives as a Republican. She won the primary and later general election held on November 8, 2016.
Opposition to Trump and conservatives
Following remarks by adamant conservative Steve King that were completely misconstrued by liberals and the MSM to falsely portray him as “racist”, Cheney joined the establishment smears against him and called for his resignation. King quickly pushed back at Cheney’s slanderous claims.
Cheney again attacked Rep. King in mid-August 2019 after he bluntly argued against only allowing abortions for children who were conceived out of rape, calling on him to resign. This was concurrent with other attacks against the representative, all of which misconstrued his obvious point and instead tried to portray him as a misogynist.
After libertarian Republican representative Thomas Massie forced a vote on a pork-filled coronavirus relief bill, angering many, Cheney donated to his primary opponent Todd McMurtry. Cheney later embarrassingly demanded McMurtry return campaign contributions after racist tweets of his surfaced.[13] Massie, after handily winning his primary, called out Cheney for the failed attempt to oust him.
Cheney defended and praised entrenched fraud Anthony Fauci after he was rebuked by Sen. Rand Paul.
At a House GOP conference held on July 21, 2020, Cheney faced massive criticism from the more conservative, pro-Trump House Freedom Caucus, whose members called her out on mere lip service to Trump and conservative causes. In the closed-door meeting, she sparred with several anti-establishment movement conservatives including Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and Chip Roy; Gaetz later called for Cheney to resign from her position. Roy reportedly had called out the Wyoming representative for being highly supportive of Fauci, and others criticized her for backing fiscal conservative Thomas Massie’s primary challenger. President Trump soon called out Cheney, tweeting that she “is only upset because I have been actively getting our great and beautiful Country out of the ridiculous and costly Endless Wars.”
A neoconservative and hawkish backer of perpetual war, Cheney worked with liberal anti-Trump Democrats in early July 2020 to undermine President Trump’s plans to withdraw troops from the Middle East.
Following heavy election fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Cheney in late November 2020 called for Trump to concede. She later sent a memo to other House Republicans in opposition to objecting to the Biden electors. After a largely peaceful protest organized by Trump supporters in the U.S. Capitol where a small mob likely comprised partly of Antifa infiltrators and paid protesters violently broke into the Capitol building, Cheney absurdly blamed Trump for the breaking and entering, saying: “There’s no question the president formed the mob, the president incited the mob, the president addressed the mob. He lit the flame.”
The Wyoming Republican Party voted on February 6, 2021, to censure Cheney for voting to impeach Trump. The vote was overwhelming, only eight members out of 74 members of the state party’s central committee opposed the censure. On May 12th 2021, House Republicans ousted Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position, a rare move that highlights the power that former President Donald Trump still holds in the party. Cheney had survived a February 2021 closed-door vote in reportedly by a 145–61 tally.
Based upon her unreasonable support of Trump’s second impeachment, Wyoming state Senator Anthony Bouchard has announced a primary challenge to Cheney in 2022.
