Wyoming GOP Leaders Tell Liz Cheney ‘You’re Fired!’ As a Party Member Over Trump Impeachment Vote

A pair of Wyoming Republican party county chairmen have told U.S. House Rep Liz Cheney (R-WY) “You’re fired!” as a party member over her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump.

The Republican parties for Park and Carbon counties both unanimously voted in support of the move, after which the chairmen made the decision known.

Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler insisted, “Liz will continue to fight for all the people of Wyoming. She knows that she and all elected officials are bound by their duty under the US Constitution, not by blind loyalty to one man.”

Park County was the first to act with a Thursday letter to Cheney, with the Carbon County Republicans following suit on Saturday and taking it a step further by unanimously backing a formal resolution.

Martin Kimmet, chairman of the Park County Republicans, wrote in the letter, “You will no longer be recognized as the official Republican Congressional Representative by the Park County Republican Party.”

Chairman of the Carbon County Republican Party, Joey Correnti, told the Star-Tribune, “Park County set up the ball, Carbon County spiked it and now other counties, I say by the end of the week you’ll have at least three or four other counties that are having meetings that will pass a similar resolution.”

More counties are expected to follow suit and Correnti said that at least one person from the Republican parties in Uinta, Big Horn, Laramie and Weston counties, which all have meetings in coming weeks, have requested copies of Carbon County’s resolution.

That resolution conveyed the same message as Park County’s letter and both ended almost identically, “In short, and in the immortal words of the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump…’You’re Fired!'”

The groups are unable to officially change Cheney’s party affiliation, so the move is mostly symbolic, much like the censures that were previously issued.

Even so, the Star-Tribune reported, Correnti’s hope and prediction is that the resolution will eventually be adopted by the Central Committee of the Wyoming Republican Party in a similar manner as her censure where a few counties led the way before nearly all followed suit and finally, the state party acted to censure her.

Correnti denied that the situation was about “Blind loyalty to one man” as Cheney’s spokesperson suggested.

“This has very little to do with Donald Trump, except for he was her focus when she started to ignore the voices of the Wyoming Republicans or the Wyoming voters in mass,” Correnti explained.
