U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., speaks Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at the Center for the Arts in Jackson, Wyo., about her vote last year to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump after the U.S. Capitol was stormed by his supporters on … more > PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rep. Liz Cheney returned fire at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other GOP lawmakers Thursday after the California Republican and nearly half the conference endorsed her primary opponent.
“A leader with honor would be rejecting — not protecting — the pro-Putin, anti-Semitic, white nationalist members of the party, instead of fighting against Liz Cheney for telling the truth,” Cheney campaign spokesman Jeremy Adler said Thursday.
Ms. Cheney, Wyoming Republican, shared his remarks on Twitter.
The statement came as the House Republican Conference gathered in Florida for their annual policy retreat. Ms. Cheney, however, skipped this year’s gathering, which she attended in Orlando last year when she was conference chair.
Last year’s gathering led to a rift between her and her Republican colleagues over her unyielding denouncements of former President Donald Trump, eventually resulting in her ouster from the House GOP leadership team.
The three-term Wyoming Republican, whose father is former Vice President Dick Cheney, is seeking re-election and faces Trump-endorsed primary opponent Harriet Hageman.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
