Cheney Goes Down!

Cheney defeated by far-right extremist.

Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY), the most high profile Republican to vote to impeach Washed Up 45 concedes to a former ally in the Wyoming Republican primary.

Cheney, the daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney is one of the most far right members of the House of Representatives. Yet, her vote to hold that pathetic man accountable doomed her and the nine others.

She like the other nine were facing challenges from the right. Only two of the 10 managed to survive a Washed Up 45 backed opponent.

In her concession speech, she slammed the former president and adhered to the GOP's former standard bearers Abraham Lincoln a d Ulysses Grant as political heroes.

She said she still remains a Republican but stressed she is not a member of a cult.

Cheney was trailing going in and was expected to take a loss. Her opponent, former campaign for U.S. Senate aide Karen Hageman challenged her in the primary and got the former president's backing.

Hageman called Cheney a traitor to the Republican Party because she impeached the former president and also participated as a co-chair to the Jan. 6 Investigation.

Outside of Jackson, Wyoming on her ranch, Cheney thanked her supporters, her friends and family. She said that she called the opponent to concede "honorably."

She said that the primaries of her prior were over 70 points. This time around she lost by 40 points.

The Wicked Witch of the West.

She said the opponent "peddles the former president's election fraud lies and enable his attacks on the democratic system."

Republicans in Wyoming disapproved of Cheney's stance against the former president and it showed tonight in her defeat. 

Cheney vows to do everything in her power to prevent the former president from entering the White House. 

Now as she is required to finish her term, expect more testimonies from the Jan. 6 Committee. She, Rep. Karen Kinzinger (R-IL) and the eight Democrats will continue to find information and witnesses to the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Hageman is an avowed white nationalist and election denier. She will likely win the U.S. Representative going into 2023.
