Liz Cheney (R-WY).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching former President Donald Trump following the events of January 6. Cheney also serves on the committee launched by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to examine January 6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In comments made to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/02\/17\/exclusive-gop-leader-kevin-mccarthy-endorses-top-cheney-opponent-harriet-hageman-in-wyoming\/\"><span>The Federalist<\/span><\/a><span>, McCarthy said that Harriet Hageman \u2014 who has received former President Donald Trump\u2019s endorsement \u2014 will seek to represent residents of Wyoming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAfter spending time with Harriet, it is readily apparent she will always listen and prioritize the needs of her local communities and is focused on tackling our nation\u2019s biggest problems,\u201d McCarthy told the outlet. \u201cI look forward to serving with Harriet for years to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>McCarthy\u2019s endorsement reflects rising animosity between Cheney and other Republican leaders. In addition to being replaced as chair of the House Republican Conference last year, Cheney was censured by her state party and RNC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Voters also appear to desire a replacement for Cheney. In a Wyoming state straw poll conducted last month, Hageman <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/liz-cheney-destroyed-in-wyoming-gop-straw-poll-by-trump-backed-candidate\"><span>defeated<\/span><\/a><span> Cheney in a 59 to six vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In his endorsement message for Hageman, Trump blasted Cheney as \u201cdisloyal\u201d and a \u201cwarmonger\u201d \u2014 a reflection of her hawkish foreign policy views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI strongly endorse Republican House of Representatives Candidate Harriet Hageman from Wyoming who is running against warmonger and disloyal Republican, Liz Cheney,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHarriet is a fourth-generation daughter of Wyoming, a very successful attorney, and has the support and respect of a truly great U.S. Senator, Wyoming\u2019s own Cynthia Lummis. Harriet Hageman adores the Great State of Wyoming, is strong on Crime and Borders, powerfully supports the Second Amendment, loves our Military and our Vets, and will fight for Election Integrity and Energy Independence (which [President Joe] Biden has already given up).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cUnlike RINO Liz Cheney, Harriet is all in for America First,\u201d he continued. \u201cHarriet has my Complete and Total Endorsement in replacing the Democrats number one provider of sound bites, Liz Cheney. Make America Great Again!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When Pelosi launched her January 6 committee, McCarthy recommended that Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) serve as Republican members. Pelosi, however, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/liz-cheney-speaks-out-after-mccarthy-pulls-picks-from-january-6-select-committee\"><span>rejected<\/span><\/a><span> both picks, and Cheney insisted that the probe would nevertheless remain nonpartisan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI am absolutely confident that we will have a nonpartisan investigation, that it will look at the facts, that it will go wherever the facts may lead,\u201d Cheney told reporters. \u201cThere are three members that the Minority Leader proposed that [the] Speaker did not object to. She has objected to two members and the rhetoric around this from the Minority Leader and from those two members has been disgraceful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis must be an investigation that is focused on facts and the idea that any of this has become politicized is really unworthy of the office that we all hold and unworthy of our Republic,\u201d she added. \u201cI agree with what the Speaker has done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
