The Republican Party in Wyoming no longer recognizes Rep. Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP.
In a symbolic move that does not affect Cheney’s power, the Wyoming GOP Central Committee voted 31-29 on Saturday to no longer acknowledge the state’s only representative as a member of their party.
ENOUGH: LIZ CHENEY DEMANDS GOP STOP DEFENDING TRUMP ‘LIES’
The state’s Republican leaders held the vote after several counties voted to no longer count her among their ranks, with some passing the decision unanimously, said Joey Correnti, chairman of the Carbon County GOP.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, earned the ire of some Republicans for voting to impeach Donald Trump and repeatedly criticizing him for his words and actions in relation to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
“[Cheney] cast her vote in favor of impeachment without any quantifiable evidence of High Crimes or Misdemeanors,” the resolution said. “As to date, no quantifiable and or undisputed evidence has been offered Representative Liz Cheney to defend her questionable decision.”

Cheney’s office called the resolution “laughable.”
“It’s laughable to suggest Liz is anything but a committed conservative Republican,” a Cheney spokesman told the Casper Star-Tribune. “She is bound by her oath to the Constitution. Sadly, a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle, and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man.”
Cheney is up for reelection 2022, and Trump has endorsed Harriet Hageman, a former Republican National Committee official and 2018 candidate for Wyoming governor, to unseat her.
