Trump Holds Anti-Cheney Rally in Wyoming

Former President Trump escalated his efforts to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), blasting the congresswoman and pushing for voters to back her primary opponent on her home turf during a rally in Casper on Saturday.

Trump, joined by a group of congressional allies and his endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman, was greeted with a standing ovation by a crowd of roughly 9,000 supporters, where he accused Cheney — one of his most vocal critics — of being an ally to Democrats and failing to represent the views of Republicans in the Cowboy State.

Trump has made Cheney one of his top targets, often releasing statements taking aim at the Wyoming Republican over her vote to impeach him and decision to join the Jan. 6 select committee to investigate the riot at the Capitol.

The rally came just two days after Cheney, the scion of one of the most powerful Republican families in modern history, filed for reelection for the at-large seat and asserted she won’t back down from her rebukes of Trump.
