The Wyoming Republican Party voted overwhelmingly on Feb. 6 to censure Rep. Liz Cheney for voting last month to impeach then-President Donald Trump, NPR reported Saturday. The party also called for her resignation.
Last week an effort in the Congress to remove Cheney from her position as the third leading Republican fell short, but the state GOP voted 66-8 for the censure and call for resignation. Regarding the House vote to impeach Trump, a letter on the Wyoming GOP vote reads, was done “with no formal hearings held, no quantifiable evidence presented, no witnesses sworn to give testimony, and no right to cross examine the accusers provided.” It said Cheney “violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party” and the will of the state’s voters. Trump won Wyoming by the largest margin of any state in both 2016 and 2020.
