On March 14, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) held a fundraiser for embattled U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who is locked in a tough primary challenge with five other candidates that will be decided on Aug. 16 when Wyoming holds primaries statewide.
The opponents include Hariet Hageman, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump in September and who came out in first place in a Jan. 2022 straw poll by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee , garnering 59 votes to Cheney’s 6 votes. In announcing the endorsement, Trump stated, “I strongly endorse Republican House of Representatives Candidate Harriet Hageman from Wyoming who is running against warmonger and disloyal Republican, Liz Cheney.”
Cheney was removed as House Republican Conference Chair in May 2021 following grassroots pressure after her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump for speaking at the Save America rally on the National Mall on Jan. 6, 2021 preceding the U.S. Capitol riot. After Cheney was removed, she said Trump was “unraveling” democracy : “We cannot let the former president drag us backward and make us complicit in his efforts to unravel our democracy.” The House had charged Trump with incitement of insurrection , a single article of impeachment that stated the President “willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol.”
At the Jan. 6, 2021 speech, Trump had urged his supporters to “peacefully” protest the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden as President , saying to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.

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!
