The Republican Party Central Committee in Carbon County, Wyoming, has censured Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (WY) for her vote to impeach President Donald Trump.
“The censure resolution passed in a unanimous vote by the 45-member central committee,” The Washington Times reported. “It included a demand that Ms. Cheney appear before the committee to explain her actions.”
“Our representative did not represent our voice,” said Carbon County GOP Chairman Joey Correnti IV, according to the Times.
They said, Cheney, defied the will of most Wyoming Republican voters when she voted in favor of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment article, denying President Trump due process.
The resolution also declared that a “vocal majority of Wyoming Republicans recognize there were significant irregularities” in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
Last week, Cheney, a member of the House Republican leadership team and the daughter of former Vice President Richard B. Cheney was slammed by the Wyoming Republican Party over her impeachment position.
“The wind in Wyoming has been horrendous today, with gusts up to 65 miles per hour. That is nothing compared to the whirlwind created by Representative Cheney’s announcement that she would be voting to impeach President Trump, and her subsequent follow-through of doing just that,” the party said in a statement, as reported by The Daily Wire. “There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.”
“This insurrection caused injury, death, and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic,” Cheney said in a statement last Tuesday.
“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough,” she continued. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.”
“Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”
“I will vote to impeach the President,” she announced.
