Cheney has been vocal about her dislike for Trump. And she has spoken out often saying she is only following her conscience.
“I was pro-Trump, and I am proud of the policies of the Trump administration,” she told the crowd of journalists. “But he crossed a line you can never cross. Some people, I think, interpreted my vote to impeach him as a vote in favor of Biden or Biden’s policies, which it wasn’t.”
Sam Eliopoulos, a Cheyenne businessman, and Republican is running for a state seat. He questions what Cheney is doing.
“She speaks about her conscience, but you weren’t elected to do what you think is right, you were elected to do what the people want. She didn’t do what the people want her to do. At the end of the day, that’s it.”
President Liz Cheney?
Cheney was quoted in 2021 as saying she will be “the leader, one of the leaders, in a fight to help to restore our party.” And that she may even have a presidential run in her future. She may still be hoping that a silent majority of Trump haters will push her to the top spot. But in Liz Cheney’s world, those may not be Republicans after all.
