“Congratulations to Harriet Hageman on her great and very decisive WIN in Wyoming,” wrote Donald Trump on his Truth Social account, late Tuesday night, Aug. 16. “This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs. Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. Thank you WYOMING!”
“I assume that with the very big Liz Cheney loss, far bigger than had ever been anticipated, the January 6th Committee of political Hacks and Thugs will quickly begin the beautiful process of DISSOLUTION?” he added in an Aug. 17 post just after midnight. “This was a referendum on the never ending Witch Hunt. The people have spoken!”
Eight of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump will not be on the ballot, either because they lost their primary elections, or because they are not running for reelection.
