It’s been reported by ConservativeBrief that a Wyoming lawyer seeking to unseat GOP Rep. Liz Cheney who already has the backing and support of former President Donald Trump lashed out at her 2022 primary opponent in a recent interview.
Harriet Hageman told Just the News that Cheney appears to be more concerned about military bases in Virginia than she does about Wyoming’s energy and natural resources, as evidenced by Cheney’s decision earlier this year to drop her assignment on the House Natural Resources Committee, where she had served since 2017, and spend more time with the House Armed Services Committee and being the co-chair of the partisan Jan. 6 Committee, where she and retiring Rep. Adam Kinzinger, another Trump critic, are the only two Republicans.
Just the News notes: “The messaging is unmistakable: Cheney is essentially a Wyoming carpetbagger more aligned with the interests of Virginia, where she lives in the Washington suburbs when Congress is in session.”
“The fact is that Liz Cheney broke from Wyoming, well, over a year ago,” Hageman said in an interview last week with the John Solomon Reports podcast. “We believe very strongly in Wyoming in the America first agenda, the Wyoming first agenda, energy independence, and being able to … manage and use our natural resources.
“We do not have a representative on the Natural Resource Committee, because Liz Cheney chose to go on the Armed Services Committee. And while that may benefit Virginia, it doesn’t do a doggone thing for the state of Wyoming,” Hageman continued.
