That being said, I am stunned by those Wyoming voters who found her a competent and capable leader less than two years ago but now have made themselves a joke to the rest of the country by choosing to believe a lie and punish Cheney for doing her duty and speaking truth about the attempt to steal the 2020 election by the previous president. She lost this primary, but the ultimate loser is the state of Wyoming and its residents.

 Today’s Republican Party denies the truth and invents conspiracy theories when the truth is inconvenient. Nothing illustrates this better than the results in Tuesday’s primary in Wyoming. Rep. Liz Cheney was one of the few Republicans brave enough to cry, “The emperor has no clothes!” 

She recognizes that the lies from the Trump cult about the 2020 election and the resulting insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, threaten our democracy. Despite the repercussions, she was willing to participate in a serious investigation into the events of Jan. 6. She is a hero.

As we approach major water shortages in the West, surely the Republican Party will come to accept the reality of climate change and propose solutions instead of simply opposing everything the Democrats propose. Surely, they must recognize that corporations and wealthy Americans are not paying their fair share of taxes, putting the burden on the middle class. What we don’t need is a Republican Party whose platform is misinformation,conspiracy theories and outright LIES about a Stolen Election.
