Liz Cheney on Repairing Relations with Wyoming Republicans: "I'm not going to convince the crazies and I reject the crazies"

The True Conservative made a rare trip to her "home" state of Wyoming -- LOL -- and instead of meeting with Republicans at a grassroots conference, she choose to instead meet with her actual constituency, the leftwing media.

Endangered Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney chose to mingle with reporters and media executives over attending an annual grassroots event last weekend during a rare appearance in her home state.

"Where's Liz Cheney? The Wyoming Republican's Exile From Wyoming Republicans," The New York Times headlined its reporting Wednesday highlighting Cheney's routine absence.

"Ms. Cheney hasn't appeared at a state Republican Party function in more than two years and hasn't been to an in-person event for any of the party's 23 county chapters since 2020," the Times published.

While Republicans held a major prom-themed fundraiser in southwest Wyoming Saturday, the "biggest night of the year" for the area's Republicans, Cheney was in the state capital of Cheyenne at an annual gathering for the Wyoming Press Association. Local constituents made clear to The Federalist last fall their at-large congresswoman's visit anywhere beyond the northwest region of the state, referred to as the "California" portion of Wyoming, was a rare sighting to begin with. She now faces a competitive primary challenge from a Trump-endorsed opponent, land-use attorney Harriet Hageman, a local of Cheyenne.

Cheney's focus on Washington rather than Wyoming, the Times wrote, "is raising questions in Wyoming about whether she is counting on Democrats to bail her out in the August primary -- or even whether she really is battling to hold on to her office."

Read the whole thing. The article notes that Liz Cheney relies on out-of-state "Blue Dollars" from the same network of Democrat donors who fund ventures like the Lincoln Project.
