The Albany County Wyoming Republican party has called on Rep. Liz Cheney to appear before them to explain her vote for the impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

The ACRP voted to censure Cheney for disregarding the political will of her constituents. The group further said she voted in favor of a process that did not have a formal hearing, evidence, nor witnesses to give sworn testimony, Laramie Boomerang reported.  

Cheney “violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party and the will of the people who elected her to represent them,” the ACRP resolution stated.

The ACRP also noted that Cheney’s actions “resulted in numerous Republicans in Albany County, and across Wyoming, indicating that they will either no longer actively participate in the Republican Party, are stepping down from Precinct Representative positions within the party, or have already changed their voter registration and left the party entirely, (because of, or) as long as Representative Cheney holds office.”

Cheney, who is the third-ranking House Republican, was among the 10 Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment for his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol Building riot.
