Jr.

led the flood of Republicans celebrating his father's rival Liz Cheney's primary loss as he tweeted a meme of her serving the former president a McDonald's meal with a sign saying: 'Now hiring RINOs.' 
Representative Cheney, 56, lost her primary to Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman on Tuesday in Wyoming - but hinted at a future presidential run. 
The former president's son was the first to jump online to poke fun at her lost, writing: 'Liz Cheney really compared herself to Lincoln…LMFAO.

That  & MSDNC fluffing really got to her carpetbagger/warmonger head.' 
He also posted a clip of a man with his father's head on it dancing, writing: 'Bye, bye, @Liz_Cheney.

On the bright side, at least you won't have to pretend to be from Wyoming anymore.' 
Former President Donald Trump - who made Cheney his number one 2022 target - reveled in her loss. 
'This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs,' the ex-president said.
'Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others,' Trump continued.

'Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. 'Thank you WYOMING!' Trump added.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul also joined in on the fun, writing: 'Few people in Washington have been as wrong and damaging on foreign policy as Liz Cheney. Congratulations to @HagemanforWY on her victory tonight.

I look forward to working with an advocate for pinfaves.com liberty as the next Congresswoman from Wyoming. Bye Liz.' 
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been quite outspoken recently on what she thinks the Republican party needs in order to continue to be reelected, wrote on the social platform: 'A clear message is being sent about what the Republican Party needs to be.

It's not anything like liar Liz Cheney, who is nothing like Abraham Lincoln.'  
Nick Adams, an author endorsed by the former president, wrote: 'After today, Liz Cheney's pronouns will be Done/Gone.'
Earlier in the day, outspoken  representative Lauren Boebert celebrated her prediction that Cheney, who is also a Republican, would lose. 
'Good Morning to everyone except for Liz Cheney, who gets thrown into the trash heap of irrelevance today!' Lauren Boebert said on Twitter. 
Also prior to the election results, Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard wrote on Twitter: 'It appears that Liz Cheney, one of the GOP's chief warmongers, is about to lose.

This is good news for every American regardless of party.' 
But others took to social media to back Cheney and blast the Trump-backed candidate. 
Ana Navarro-Cardenas wrote: '@Liz_Cheney may have lost tonight, but she has earned a place amongst honorable Americans who put country over party and political ambition. 
John Bolton wrote: '@Liz_Cheney's loss diminishes our party.

By putting her Constitutional responsibilities above partisanship and political future, she deserves the highest possible praise.' 



Many Republicans celebrated Cheney's loss on Twitter, with some saying she'll have to change her pronouns to 'done/gone' 
Despite the onslaught of negative reactions from her own political party, Cheney made comparisons to President Abraham Lincoln, who lost a string of races before winning the White House, in her concession speech.  
'Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all,' Cheney noted. 
Cheney spoke about how she had won her primary two years ago by 73 points, saying: 'I could easily have done the same again - the path was clear,' she said. 
All she had to do, she said, was peddle former President Donald Trump's election fraud lies and enable his attacks on the democratic system. 
'That is a path I could not and would not take,' Cheney said. 'This is not a game Everyone of us must be committed to the eternal defense of this miraculous experiment called America.' 
 
 Not all celebrated her loss, with some saying her bipartisanship would receive the 'highest possible praise' 
Speaking to supporters at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Event Center, Hageman characterized her win as an effort to 'dislodge entrenched politicians' from Washington, D.C.'s 'uni-party - those Democrats and Republicans who don't really care which party is in power, just as long as they are.' 
'Wyoming has put the elites on notice,' Hageman said, adding that if you want to represent the Cowboy State, 'you damn better well live in Wyoming.' 
It was obvious from early returns from the ultra-red state that Cheney was toast. 
She first trailed Hageman by nine points - and then by 25.

When NBC News and other outlets started calling the race for Hageman, Cheney was behind by more than 30.  
At the top of her concession speech, Cheney informed her supporters that she had called Hageman and conceded the race - making the point that part of American democracy is accepting 'honorable' election results. 
Hageman's supporters - a number of them sporting cowboy hats - gathered around barrels decorated with cowhides and lassos munching on charcuterie platters or waiting for drinks at corner bar as Tucker Carlson's  program played on large TVs.

At one point, Another One Bites the Dust, played loudly. The crowd cheered when favorable returns were shown on the TVs. 
Hageman appeared at the podium before Cheney had completed speaking. 
'Today, Wyoming has spoken,' she said.

'Today we have succeeded at what we set out to do - we have reclaimed Wyoming's lone Congressional seat for Wyoming.' 
She thanked Trump for his early support - and used his trademark Apprentice line. 
'If we put you in power you will be accountable...you will answer to us,' she said.

'And if you don't, we will fire you.'  
Earlier Tuesday in Jackson, Cheney brought along her famous father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, to a polling place. 
He and Lynne Cheney sat front row during her concession speech.  
'We're facing a moment where our democracy really is under attack and under threat,' Cheney told CBS News before going into vote. 
The threat, of course, being Trump.

'And those of us across the board - Republicans, Democrats and independents - who believe deeply in freedom and who care about the Constitution and the future of the country, I think have an obligation to put that above party,' she said. 
She also said that 'no matter what the outcome is' the 'fight is clearly going to continue,' suggesting that while she may lose Tuesday night, her political career wasn't over. 
'Proud to cast my ballot today.

The challenges we are facing require serious leaders who will abide by their oath and uphold the Constitution - no matter what,' she later tweeted. 
Wyoming Republicans DailyMail.com spoke to on Tuesday outside Cheyenne's historic Storey Gymnasium had all voted for Hageman - with a lone Democrat saying he chose to stick with his party, and not cross over to bolster Cheney's chances. 
Wyoming voters can switch political parties the day of the election. They can also vote at any polling place, but have to show identification. 
'Well first of all she should represent her constituents, and she's not clearly - because that's why she's getting voted out - but secondly here's the reality, she didn't grow up in Wyoming,' said 58-year-old Cheyenne resident Roger Forystek, who works in insurance. 
Thanks to her father's political career, Cheney split her time between Casper and Washington, D.C.  
'And furthermore, she's kind of a spoiled brat, in my opinion. She's a spoiled brat.

She's so used to getting her way, when she doesn't, she's throwing a tantrum,' Forystek added.

Tacy West, a 77-year-old from Cheyenne, had an even harsher take. 
'She comes from a crime family.

It's well known that her father was a leading pedophile,' West told DailyMail.com.
There's no factual basis behind West's comment - Dick Cheney has never been accused of pedophilia.  
'She acts crazy.

You look at her eyes and she's not there,' West added. 
A local pastor, who asked not to be named because of his line of work, told DailyMail.com that his vote for Hageman 'was more so to spank Cheney.' 
'She's being sent to the principal's office,' he said. 
Cheney has become the most prominent House Republican critic of Trump - currently serving as vice-chair of the House select committee on January 6.
She's paid a price - losing her No.

3 leadership position in the House Republican Conference and was expelled by Wyoming's Republican Party, as the state's voters in 2020 had voted Trump over President Joe Biden by about 43 points.  
The daughter of the former Republican vice president has remained steadfast in her criticism, saying in  that her party's embrace of Trump's 'big lie' - his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him - is a 'cancer.' 
Voters line up outside the Storey Gymnasium, the Central High School facility that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Cheyenne Tuesday.

Every Republican voter DailyMail.com spoke to at this polling place was backing Harriet Hageman

Liz Cheney

She added that the false claims are a 'door Donald Trump opened to manipulate Americans to abandon their principles, to sacrifice their freedom to justify violence, to ignore the rulings of our courts and the rule of law.' 
For 20-year-old University of Wyoming student Abby Humble, who backed Hageman, it's not the substance - but Cheney's style. 
Rep.

Liz Cheney shared a photo of herself voting in Jackson, Wyoming
'I don't disagree with what she did, I think she was just trying to defend the Constitution,' Humble told DailyMail.com. 'But at the same time, I don't really think that's what the people of Wyoming wanted ...

because a lot of them are, you know, Trump supporters.' 
'I think she's being a voice for herself and her own political agenda,' Humble added. 
Mike Lammers, a 67-year-old retiree and Cheyenne Democrat, said he appreciated Cheney sticking her neck out. 
'I still like Liz very much and I appreciate, greatly appreciate what she's doing for our country,' Lammers told DailyMail.com. 
But he said he voted in his own party's primary. 
'I decided to stay Democrat.

Even though I know a lot of folks are changing over for Liz. If I were voting Republican, I would vote for Liz though, for sure,' he said. 
Trump put his whole weight behind the race - vowing to get revenge for Cheney's criticism, impeachment vote and top role on the House select committee on January 6.
'If Liz Cheney loses tonight, the Fake News Media will do everything within their power to play it down and pretend that it was not a referendum on the Unselects - That it was no big deal.

Actually, it would be a very big deal, one of the biggest!' he wrote on his Truth Social website Tuesday in the hours before Wyoming's polls closed.  
On election eve, Trump called into a tele-rally for Hageman and called the race 'one of the most critical primary elections in the history of our country.' 
'The whole world is watching this one,' the former president said.

Polling last week showed Cheney 29 points down in the pivotal primary race 
He called Hageman - who was critical of Trump during his 2016 election and supported Sen. Ted Cruz - a 'person I've gotten to know very well' and a 'friend.' 
Then he turned his attention to Cheney.
