CNN doomed GOP Rep Liz Cheney in a segment that showed how far she has fallen in the eyes of Wyoming voters.
CNN’s Randi Kaye said: “At Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we found plenty of Republican voters bucking the Cheney name, and vowing not to support Congresswoman Liz Cheney for a fourth term.
“Are you planning to vote for Liz Cheney?” Kaye asked voter Sharon Tuggle who said, “Hell no, she’s done us dirty. Look at how she’s done Trump. She is supposed to be supporting him. She is a Republican, for crying out loud.”
Kaye asked other Wyoming voters in the segment.
“Absolutely not,” said voter Andrew Kahler.
“Personally, I think she’s had three too many,” said another voter.
CNN: “Here in Cheyenne, more than 1600 miles from Washington, almost everyone we spoke with told us they believe Liz Cheney is too focused on Donald Trump and the January 6th committee and not paying enough attention to what they believe matters to the people here in Wyoming.” pic.twitter.com/fpV63S8Mln

“I find her work on the Jan. 6 committee just repulsive,” said another voter.
“It’s all a hoax. It’s all propaganda,” said Kahler. “Has nothing to do with anything. It’s a witch hunt.”
“She has been an embarrassment,” said another voter.
“She doesn’t know what her constituents want here anymore because she’s lost touch with the values of the people,” said another voter.
“I don’t feel like she supports her people here in Wyoming anymore,” another voter said.
“The things that she’s voting for don’t really reflect what the people here in Wyoming feel.”
CNN found two Cheney supporters at Frontier Days.
“If they’re going to bow down and kiss the ring, I think I don’t want that from my representative. I want somebody who has the Constitution first and foremost in their mind,” said voter Dean Dexter.
“She’s got it even stronger now. She’s making a sacrifice.
“She is made a stand and she’s saying something is wrong and I agree with her. And each though that has a tremendous personal sacrifice.”
“I believe that she has a lot of that integrity also,” said voter Sean McKee.
“She wants to maintain the integrity of the state. She wants to make it to where it’s not so much federally controlled.”
Cheney’s office points to her remarks in June: “I’m asking for your vote and I’m asking you to understand that I will never violate my oath of office, and if you’re looking for somebody who will, then you need to vote for somebody else on this stage because I won’t.” pic.twitter.com/zdZ5Chh2sa
