Wyoming Republican Files to Primary Liz Cheney After Impeachment VoteKyle Morris 20 Jan 2021
A primary challenger for House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has filed to run in the 2022 election after her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump.
Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard (R) has initiated a 2022 challenge against Cheney, according to a statement of candidacy filed on Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission. Since 2017, Bouchard has represented District 6 of Wyoming.
Following Cheney’s vote to impeach Trump, Bouchard wrote on social media: “I expect Never Trumpers to do this stuff. But Cheney should be run out of town, and back to Virginia for joining the blame game!â€
The Wyoming Republican Party also condemned Cheney earlier this month for voting with nine other House Republicans to impeach Trump, alleging “incitement of an insurrection.â€
“By announcing her decision to vote for impeachment Representative Cheney denied President Trump due process; she judged the ‘evidence’ before it was presented and refused to listen to the arguments made,†the state GOP said last week in a statement.
In addition, there is also an online petition with more than 35,000 signatures to recall Cheney on Change.org.
