Liz Cheney\u2019s primary opponent, Harriet Hageman, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy, who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/17\/kevin-mccarthy-endorses-liz-cheneys-primary-opponent-harriet-hageman-wyoming-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">endorsed<\/a> Cheney\u2019s primary opponent in February, told the Caller that over 100 Republican members will be supporting Hageman at an event at the end of March. The minority leader and House Republicans have been very critical of Cheney and said the best way to move forward with Cheney is to help Hageman, who are running for her seat.<\/p>\n<p>Although McCarthy did not mention the names of Republicans attending the event or where it will be held, he did say Cheney simply has not been doing any work for the people of Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour conference doesn\u2019t determine whether you\u2019re a Republican or Democrat. You get to determine that. And the way to go about it is exactly what I\u2019m doing. I support Harriet in Wyoming. You\u2019re going to find there\u2019s going to be an event for Harriet next week. No one knows this. There\u2019s more than 100 members that are co-sponsoring that,\u201d McCarthy told the Caller.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7396869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7396869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>(Screen Shot_Hageman for Wyoming_Harriet Hageman Youtube)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cPart of the reason why Liz isn\u2019t doing her work for Wyoming. She\u2019s not on natural resources. She gave that up. That\u2019s the number one committee for Wyoming, you know, and the voters gets to decide whether you get to come to Congress. We get to decide whether you\u2019re going to be in leadership or not. Liz Cheney was not doing the role as conference chair. That\u2019s why she was removed. She doesn\u2019t come to conference,\u201d he added. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/17\/kevin-mccarthy-endorses-liz-cheneys-primary-opponent-harriet-hageman-wyoming-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Kevin McCarthy Endorses Liz Cheney\u2019s Primary Opponent)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cheney was removed from her leadership position by a voice vote in May of 2021.
