Wyoming GOP Censures Rep. Liz Cheney for Backing Trump’s Impeachment

HeadlineFeb 08, 2021

The Wyoming Republican Party voted to censure Congressmember Liz Cheney, the third-highest-ranking Republican in the House, over her vote to impeach former President Trump for inciting the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It follows a similar move by Arizona Republicans, who passed resolutions in January censuring Governor Doug Ducey, former Senator Jeff Flake and Cindy McCain, John McCain’s widow, for opposing or defying Trump. Meanwhile, Oregon Republicans passed a resolution in January condemning the 10 Republican congressmembers who voted to impeach Trump, calling the insurrection a “false flag” operation. Trump’s second impeachment trial begins tomorrow.
