President Trump hasn’t publicly obsessed about the shortcomings of the Bush-Cheney eight years. He has, however, been clear he was not impressed with their hawkish policies and modest accomplishments.
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised the Bush and Cheney families have noticed his lack of respect, and held grudges. Now Liz Cheney, Wyoming’s one-and-only Representative and Chair of the House Republican Conference, has spoken in favor of Trump’s second-and-current impeachment.
Our two WY Republican Senators have made no such pronouncements, nor has our Senator-elect Cynthia Lummis who was Cheney’s predecessor representative. As a Wyoming voter, my sense is that in supporting impeachment Liz Cheney speaks for House Cheney, not for Wyoming’s Republicans who elected her.
Just saying ... this is her version of leaving a horse head in Trump’s bed, very much part of a blood feud between House Cheney and the upstart House Trump. Hat tips to Frank Herbert’s Dune and George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones for the feuding great houses concept.
Later ... Cheney’s support of impeachment is an example of John Kass’s politics becoming personal, never a good thing.
Later still ... the Wyoming Republican Party has written to let Rep. Cheney know what they’re hearing from the people who recently reelected her. It is far from positive or supportive.
Go here to see their statement. I’d guess she will have a primary challenger backed by the state organization in 2022.
