Wyoming Republican County Central Committees are quickly forming a Liz-xit! Last night Sheridan County joined forces with Carbon, Johnson and Sublette Counties in censuring the GOP/DC elitist:
… The Sheridan County resolution outlines the grievances of local Republicans, primarily that Cheney voted in favor of impeaching former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Cheney’s vote came without any formal hearing, evidence or sworn witnesses, which attendees at Thursday’s meeting pointed to as a violation of Trump’s constitutional rights. In the resolution, the Sheridan County Republican Party called on Cheney to appear before its members and “explain her actions to this body, the state Republican party membership and the entirety of the concerned Wyoming electorate.”
… Many of those in favor of the resolution expressed their sense of betrayal, while others indicated they had never been fans of the congresswoman’s. Some spoke of a need for unity and the desire to rebuild the Republican Party.
“The party is coming together within the state,” said Bryan Miller, a retired Air Force officer and chair of the Sheridan County Republican Party. “We need to build it and make it be a strong enough party to show the rest of the nation how to do it.”
… The majority of those who provided comment at the meeting, though, spoke in favor of the censure and many indicated they wish they could do more.
Wyoming law does not currently allow for the recall of state-level officials; it only allows for recall of elected officials under a “city commission” form of government. House Bill 74, which was received for introduction Jan. 21 in the Wyoming Legislature, seeks to establish a mechanism to remove any elected official in any form of municipal government. Rep. Mark Jennings, R-Sheridan, is one co-sponsor of that bill.
