U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney is as much an adversary to the Republican Party as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, congressional candidate Harriet Hageman told Fox News.
Hageman again attacked Cheney during an appearance on Sean Hannity’s television show last week.
“She’s as adversarial to the Republican Party as is Nancy Pelosi,” Hageman said. “She’s not representing the state of Wyoming. She’s not doing the work that we sent her to Washington, D.C. to do and it’s time for Liz Cheney to be replaced.”
Hageman also said that while she had supported Cheney in the past, she did not support her any longer.
Hannity is also no fan of Cheney, especially after the representative revealed text messages Hannity sent to former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff on the day of the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
Hannity questioned why Pelosi and other figures had not yet been questioned by the committee investigating the invasion, which is co-chaired by Cheney. He and Hageman said Pelosi and the mayor of Washington, D.C., did not address security concerns prior to the invasion.
“This is a witch hunt. This is about going after Donald Trump,” Hageman said, echoing similar sentiments uttered by Trump himself.
Hageman received an endorsement from Trump just hours after announcing her congressional campaign in the fall. Two candidates, Cheyenne attorney Darin Smith and Rep. Chuck Gray, R-Casper, dropped out following her campaign announcement.
Hageman added during the Hannity appearance that Democrats and Cheney were out to destroy Trump with the Jan. 6 committee.
Cheney voted with Trump more than 90% of the time during his time in office, more than many of her Republican detractors.
