Friday's Anderson Cooper 360 aired a report by anchor and correspondent Randi Kaye, who interviewed voters at a rodeo in Wyoming's capital.
"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," narrated Kaye.
When asked if she'll vote for Cheney, voter Sharon Tuggle asked if she "could cuss" and said "hell no."
"Absolutely not," said voter Andrew Kahler.
"Personally, I think she's had three too many," said another female voter.
"She's done us dirty," said Tuggle, who identified as a Trump supporter. "Look at how she's done Trump." Tuggle added that Cheney lost her vote because of the congresswoman's work on the Jan. 6 committee.
"She's supposed to be supporting him," said Tuggle. "She's a Republican for crying out loud."
"I find her work on the Jan. 6 committee just repulsive," said another female 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 female voter. "It's a witch hunt."
"She doesn't know what her constituents want here anymore because she's lost touch with the values of the people," said another male voter.
CNN found only 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," said Dexter regarding Cheney's role on the Jan. 6 committee. "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 GOP 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."

Apparently the"values" of many of the conservatives in Wyoming is endless support for a lying sack of shit.
I saw this vid. All I could think is breathing nothing but horseshit all day had warped their brains...
Perhaps that's why so many rural conservatives just love dirty Donald, the smell of the constant horse shit coming out of his mouth was familiar and comforting.
The rural voters around here just like him because he pisses the establishment off. The more he pisses people whom he can construe as weak,communist, socialist, pansy, etc. The better they like him.
She will land on her feet, hopefully take a job in another state or this Administration
and someday run for POTUS.
Integrity is a too rare trait in politics to waste on WY.
She is way too conservative for me. Funny that she has a more conservative voting record than most of the GOP yet she is evil because she dared to go against donald.
Sycophants would rather worship an idol than have to face reality.
You do realize that being conservative means more than just voting right?
She has the principles to sell out to the opposition to get what she wants. And the conviction to throw out honesty, integrity, and the law to achieve her ends.
Those traits that are not needed at any level of government.
I am sure she will find a job at the Lincoln Project, The View, or some other leftist media outlet that will trot her out as their pet conservative. There she will find out exactly what the left really thinks of her when she is no longer useful and has the audacity to actually try to state her conservative views. She will get exactly what she deserves.
She is done as a Republican forever.
Sell out? Man, if you think what she is doing is selling out...
The TDS is rampant in you...
You call rampant TDS and selling out to the opposition in an effort to get someone at all costs integrity?
That tells us all we need to know.
Has it ever occurred to you that Cheney, like tens of millions of other Americans, understands that Trump needs to be disqualified from ever running for office again if we want to save our country?
TDS is imaginary.
You think doing something with conviction and objectivity is selling out to the opposition
when this is obviously going to cost her this seat/job?
Who is "we" Ronin? And who cares why you think politics is a team blood sport?
“TDS is…”
…a diversion, a point of derision, and ultimately a false flag.
The real red flag is how anyone, anywhere, and in any way can conflate any issue by following along or excusing behavior exhibited or words uttered by such a self-obsessed, fractured individual.
Clearly spineless conservatives hate being reminded of their lack of integrity, especially when it's their own elected representative displaying what a spine and integrity actually look like.
Funny how you did not say the same thing when Manchin single handedly destroyed the fuck up in the White House agenda. Did democrats hate being reminded of their lack of integrity with a democrat that displayed what a spine and integrity looked like, because leftists attacked him left and right?
Ironically, ....I remember you toeing the far left loon line.
Why the change of heart?
And the far right loon line would be...................what?
too many to count
You just heard one.
So the MAGA bots think Cheney did them,"Dirty?" Really? It is impossible to 'do dirty' on the dirty.
Manchin caved....will Sinema be vilified if she doesn't
Sinema may have decent chance of getting reelected. Kelley not much.
Liz Cheney = RINO from the get go!
Would you prefer that Liz Cheney participated in the coverup of Trump's crimes? Would that show "integrity"?
As has been brought up far too many times John, what crimes? Has he been formally charged and convicted yet? No. According to the law of the land and our legal/justice system he is innocent until proven guilty in a real court of law by a judge and jury. It is in the Constitution of The United States. Kangaroo courts of public opinion that many are engaging in just does not cut it. Get back to us when Donald Trump is formally charged, tried, and convicted in a real court of law, then I will accept his guilt and any punishment. That has nothing to do with being on the right or the left.
Ed,
I have a question for you. Is Joe Manchin a DINO?
Based on what I have seen, I would have to say no. He seems to have been very selective about bucking the Democrat legislations. I think he has the integrity to stand up for what he believes is right. Cheney not so much. As has already been said, she is her father's daughter after all.
I have probably said this ten times on this forum, but apparently it doesnt sink in with some people. You can be a criminal and never be indicted or convicted. If I break into your house and steal your valuables when you are not home, and never get caught, indicted and convicted for it, am I not still a criminal? It is the commission of a crime that makes one a criminal, not the conviction.
There is now a vast amount of evidence that Trump wanted to steal the 2020 presidential election and sabotage the peaceful transfer of power. The idea that the committee is a "kangaroo court" is ridiculous. Trump himself can testify any time he wants. He could go on Fox News and say everything they are saying about me is false, and give the particulars. He hasnt even done that. If ANYONE wants to give Trumps side of the story they are free to do it. No one does , other than to cry that he is the victim in all this.
Of course he is a criminal, by the evidence. Does that mean that he will go to jail? Unfortunately no. We have an "institutionalist" Attorney General who apparently is wary of indicting a former president, which has never been done before. Hopefully Garland will work up the nerve to do so, but at the least the public should make it crystal clear to Trump that he needs to leave politics right now, in disgrace.
No, he fears a DC conviction being overturned and then going down in history as a partisan tool for a Banana Republic.
There are not of corrupt people in Congress. Manchin is one of them, and so is Sinema. I heard that the new bill Manchin agreed to contains some concessions to the fossil fuel industry, and that is probably why he got on board. They are some of his largest donors. Sinema is beholden to donors who want the new bill to fail.
Manchin is more interested in aligning with his donors interests than he is in serving the people , which is not that unusual in Congress, its just that he is in the unique position of being able to thumbs up or thumbs down major legislation (on his own).
No matter how much you try to play word games and spin it, the law is still the law. Formally charge him, try him, and convict if possible. Whether you like it or not, and I know you don't, according to the laws of this country he is still presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law just like anybody else. When that happens, I will be more than happy to agree with you and admit I was wrong.
My explanation to you is not word games. It is reality.
Evidently they cant help themselves.
So you think wanting a fair trial in a court of law according to our justice system is "defense of the traitor"? Now that is what is truly unbelievable!
Your reality differs from mine as you do not seem to believe in our legal system of trial by jury. I'm done. Have a good day.
Hey, Ed...your partisan slip is showing...
In your own words, don't put words in my mouth!
How else are they going to get you to go along with their stupidity?
See post #7.1.4.
Yes you did. The question was put to me to answer and you jumped in and you are the one that in fact is wrong.
I will not call her a RINO; but she is her father's daughter.
She is power hungry to a fault; and willing to do anything to achieve her goals. She wants to control the Republican Party; but Trump is in her way. She will use any means to get rid of Trump; whether it is legal or not.
The only reason the left and Democrats are in love with her is their rampant TDS. Once that is over, if it is ever over, they will flush her as fast as they can. She is still a Cheney after all.
Possibly.
Power hungry, maybe, but I view that as part of being in politics. I doubt she wants to be in control of the GOP, because this would be the wrong way to do it. I agree she wants to get rid of Trump, but I disagree with the legal or not part.
I am not a Dem and I don't have TDS, but I do know what I saw on Jan 6th, that the republicans are now trying to backtrack on, but initially agreed with the Dems. I think everyone owns their actions for that day, and that would include Trump. I am not sure if they arise to criminal level, but we shall see.
Cant even call her a RINO. For that implies she is part of the Republican Party. She was kicked out by her own state.
That has yet to happen.
It happened around November 15, 2021
I took that to mean the electorate, not the party.
Do you actually believe the Wyoming GOP will allow her name on the ballot as a Republican?
Can't say that I care much for Cheney's conservative political agenda but I do admire the sacrifice she has made to prosecute Trump for his attempted and ongoing coup.
