(Tony Sifert, Headline USA) Rep. Liz Cheney, RINO-Wyo., Nancy Pelosi‘s handpicked J6 “bipartisan” Grand Inquisitor, is pleading with local Democrats to switch parties and vote for her in the August 16 primary election.

The desperate incumbent emailed Wyoming Democrats instructions on how to change their party in time to vote in the state’s Republican primary election, in which she faces Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman, according to the New York Times.
“How do I change my party affiliation to register as a Republican so I can vote for Liz?”
According to the Times, the move belies Cheney’s previous comments suggesting that she would not seek Democrat support in August.
“That is not something that I have contemplated, that I have organized or that I will organize,” she told the Times in a Feb. 2022 interview.
Hageman’s campaign took note of Cheney’s lie.
“Liz Cheney told the New York Times that she wouldn’t be encouraging Democrats to raid the Republican primary, but I guess the drive to hold onto power is just too strong for her to keep her word,” campaign manager Carly Miller said.
At any rate, the ploy is almost certainly doomed to failure, especially now that Cheney has alienated Democrats once more by supporting the Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
“Even if every Democrat in the state switched over,” Joseph Barbuto, chairman of the Wyoming Democratic Party, told the Times. “I don’t think it’d be enough to help her.”
President Trump spoke on Hageman’s behalf at a rally in Wyoming in late May.
“Liz Cheney hates the voters of the Republican Party, and she has for longer than you would know,” Trump told Wyoming voters.
“Wyoming deserves a congresswoman who stands up for you and your values, not one who spends all of her time putting you down and going after your president.”
Trump went on to deliver his trademark line.
“Liz, you’re fired,” he said.
