A majority of the Wyoming Republican Party’s central committee voted in favor of censuring Rep. Liz Cheney during a hearing Saturday that the lawmaker decided to skip, because apparently she answers to nobody but herself.
During the hearing, 66 of the committee’s 74 members voted to censure Cheney for dishonoring former President Donald Trump by voting to impeach him last month.
“We need to honor President Trump. All President Trump did was call for a peaceful assembly and protest for a fair and audited election. The Republican Party needs to put her on notice,” committee member Darin Smith said during the hearing, as reported by the Associated Press.
The Wyoming GOP resolution said Cheney “violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party.”
The committee also called on her to “immediately” resign, vowed to “withhold any future political funding” and demanded she refund any donations she received from state/local GOP offices during the 2020 election, according to CNN’s Daniella Diaz.
The censure resolution has reportedly been endorsed by every Wyoming county GOP office that’s “heard” it.
“No county in the state has heard this resolution and ultimately voted it down. Seventy percent of the counties in this state took it up, and every single one passed it. That is the voice of the people,” Carbon County Republican Party Chairman Joey Correnti IV reportedly said after the vote, according to the Casper Star-Tribune.
By being censured, Cheney has officially joined the ranks of the likes of Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, South Carolina Rep. Tom, Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, and Washington Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Rep. Dan Newhouse.
All five congressional Republicans have also been censured in their respective states for having voted to impeach...

First of all, Cheney's a politician and she's not giving back squat. Second, she's a republicrat which means she's immune to having any kind of conscience so she's not resigning. And third, the establishment republicrats will forgive her shortly before the next election so she gets re-elected. It's rigged and the people's only say occurs within the ballot box. Then again, we saw how that goes, didn't we.
The GOP is so full of shit. Its filled with these aholes which raise two fingers prior to an election and when they win give you a finger back. I am a conservative not a Republican. They stand for nothing.
Meh. fuckoff
