The former president said that the MAGA movement is “by far the greatest political movement in the history of our country” while touting his wing of the party.

“Together we are standing up against some of the most menacing forces, entrenched interests, and vicious opponents our people have ever seen or met. Despite the great outside dangers, our biggest threat remains the sick, sinister, demented, and evil people that we have to deal with from within,” Trump continued, making reference to establishment Republicans who oppose his political pursuits.

Trump went on to say that he believes “they hate our country. But no matter how big or powerful these corrupt radicals may be, you must never forget this nation does not belong to them, this nation belongs to you.”

The former president also took aim at Rep. Liz Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and his foreign policy doctrine while serving in the White House.

“The Cheney’s are die-hard globalists and warmongers who have been pushing us into new conflicts for decades, spilling American blood and spending American treasure all over the world,” he said at one point.

Moments later, he called out the Bush administration over its refusal to pardon Scooter Libby, Cheney’s chief of staff who was convicted on charges of lying to the FBI about his involvement in the Valerie Plame affair. Trump pardoned Libby before leaving office, while President George W. Bush only commuted Libby’s sentence.

“The Cheneys, along with [former President] George Bush, didn’t even have the courage to pardon Scooter Libby,” Trump said. “You know who did it? I did it.”

Trump is spending a lot of his speech focusing on “backstabbing RINO Republicans,” calling them “worse than the terrible Democrats.” He continued by saying, “And there is no RINO in America who has thrown in her lot with the radical Left more than Liz Cheney.”

He continued by saying that the three-term congresswoman had “gone crazy” before noting how the Democrats were utilizing her comments for their own political gain.

“The Democrats use her statements use her statements and quotes all the time in their campaign literature and in their speeches,” the former president said, noting that her Republican bona fides gave Democrat-led criticisms “a little credibility.”

Former President Donald Trump has taken the stage at his rally in Wyoming on Saturday evening. He began by calling the state “ultra-MAGA country,” a reference to President Joe Biden’s term for his predecessor’s wing of the GOP.

After talking about his performance in the state in the 2020 presidential election, Trump said that those voters would return to oust Cheney.

“Over the next six months, the people of Wyoming are going to vote to drop their RINO congresswoman, Liz Cheney,” the former president said to cheers from the crowd.

Harriet Hageman has taken the stage. The Trump-backed Republican told the audience, believed to be around 9,000 people, “I love Wyoming, I know Wyoming, I am Wyoming.”

After talking about her professional background, Hageman took direct aim at her primary competitor, saying: “I have fought for Wyoming, and I will fight for you in Washington, D.C., and I will be taking that fight to D.C. as soon as I defeat Liz Cheney. I am going to reclaim Wyoming’s lone congressional seat from the Virginian who currently holds it.”

Hageman said that nearly all of the voters she had spoken to during the campaign had said they were “fed up” with Cheney, her disloyalty to the GOP, and the Left overall.

She will introduce the 45th president when she finishes her remarks.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) appeared at the rally via a prerecorded video message. The announcement of his appearance, though, was met with boos and groans from the crowd.

McCarthy, who has faced criticism from some Trump-aligned lawmakers in the House GOP conference, did not receive a warmer reception as his speech went on.

As he accused Cheney of being “obsessed with attacking President Donald J. Trump and pandering to the liberal media,” the crowd continued to shout obscenities and boo at the GOP leader. The audience’s anger appeared to subside at one point when the California Republican praised Cheney’s primary challenger.

A slew of Trump-allied lawmakers and state GOP officials are slated to speak ahead of the former president’s address, but Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who previously held an anti-Cheney rally last year, announced on Twitter that he was unable to make the event due to multiple flights being canceled.

“Some disappointing news: I had one delta flight cancelled. I had a backup southwest flight cancel. I had a second southwest flight delayed beyond repair. Thus, I won’t make Casper WY to see many America First friends today. I send my well wishes and my sincere regrets,” he tweeted.

After the in-person opening speakers finished their remarks, Gaetz appeared via telecast to speak to the crowd. He began by urging rally attendees to elect Hageman over Cheney, saying, “In Washington, D.C., there is terrible corruption, and President Trump fought against the corrupt establishment each and every day so that we could all live better lives.”

“You deserve a congresswoman who will fight your battles, who will win them, who will advance your causes, and who will tell the truth in service of the great people of your state,” he said. “Liz Cheney, she is the swamp. She’s Nancy Pelosi’s puppet. The darling of special interests and lobbyists and a failed warmonger.”

Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Kat Cammack (R-FL), two of the in-person speakers for Saturday evening’s festivities, pulled no punches when talking about Cheney.

Calling herself a “professional RINO hunter,” a reference to the acronym “Republican in name only,” Boebert said that “it has been brought to my attention that your RINO-in-chief needs to be taken out of Wyoming.”

The Colorado congresswoman continued, “I have not found a three-letter agency that Liz Cheney does not want to grow, a CNN interview that she does not want to take, or a war that she does not want to engage in and fund with your tax dollars.”

Cammack, meanwhile, began her speech by asking those in the crowd if they were ready “to send a particular person packing,” a reference to Cheney.

Before former President Donald Trump’s opening acts even took the stage, the parking lot was filled with his supporters tailgating. A line of traffic filled with cars and trucks with Trump stickers and flags could be seen forming hours before the rally’s kickoff outside the Ford Wyoming Center.
