Liz Cheney doesn\u2019t live in Wyoming. She doesn\u2019t represent us,\u201d Hageman said. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t represent our values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">But Cheney\u2019s opponent is not the only voice to raise Cheney\u2019s absenteeism.&nbsp;Sam Eliopoulos, a Cheyenne businessman, told the <em>Times<\/em>&nbsp;that Cheney is not representing Wyoming voters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">\u201cShe speaks about her conscience, but you weren\u2019t elected to do what you think is right, you were elected to do what the people want you to do,\u201d Eliopoulos said. \u201cShe didn\u2019t do what the people want her to do. At the end of the day, that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">Even a Wyoming GOP state representative who supports Cheney and her establishment Republican positions believes the daughter of Dick Cheney should spend more time in her home state campaigning among&nbsp;Wyomingites.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">\u201cShe understands she has to campaign and earn the trust of voters \u2014 I would certainly like to see her here more,\u201d state Rep.

The poll,&nbsp;conducted by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee via secret ballot, showed Hageman won 59 votes and Cheney 6, a 53-point victory by Hageman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">In November,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Wyoming Republican Party&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/15\/wyoming-republican-party-votes-liz-cheney-no-longer-recognized-as-republican\/\">voted<\/a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;no longer recognize Cheney as a member of the GOP. Cheney later called the vote \u201claughable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">On the national side, the Republican National Committee (RNC) symbolically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/04\/rnc-weighs-funding-liz-cheney-america-first-opponent-harriet-hageman\/\">censured<\/a> Cheney last week over allying herself with Democrats and the partisan January 6 committee. According to the <em>Washington Post<\/em>, RNC is also considering financially supporting&nbsp;Hageman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">In an interview with the <em>Times<\/em>,&nbsp;Hageman said Cheney\u2019s lack of Republican support among Republicans is due to \u201cusing her seat as Wyoming\u2019s representative to pursue her own agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">\u201cThat\u2019s not our agenda.
