    Are Republicans really that dumb in Wyoming

  5. Boneshaman on June 14, 2022 at 12:45 pm

    Liz is a Democrat in Republican clothing. So voting for her is no better than voting for a Democrat

  6. Michele Daniels on June 14, 2022 at 12:46 pm

    They just can’t get out of their own way 🙏🏾❤️ Sad 🤦🏽‍♀️

  7. Richard Cogbill on June 14, 2022 at 12:48 pm

    Liz Cheney is loyal to her country and its’ Constitution. Not to a person. She’s doing the right thing as all elected leaders should do to protect and defend our democracy.
    No matter what the voters in her party thinks, as a leader and a patriot she is showing the moral courage in doing the right thing. She knows it and Americans who support her know it. My respect to Liz Cheney and Adam Kissenger for their loyalty to this country.

  8. Ed A on June 14, 2022 at 12:49 pm

    Welcome to the “autocratic republican/confederate states of America”. Our constitution has already collapsed with the election of the orange backed traitor in 2016.

  9. blueberrymouse6 on June 14, 2022 at 12:49 pm

    Rep. Liz Cheney is speaking truth to power! She is acting like a true Republican. That is why those who do not care for her honesty, are part of the splinter group, the RepubliKLAN party. Rep. Cheney is like Patrica Schroder who said; " , ."

  10. Patricia L Kress on June 14, 2022 at 12:49 pm

    Boy what stupid people,do they not know that he nuts,I guess they all need to move to Russia with Trump they are Traitors,to their country

  11. L Swen on June 14, 2022 at 12:50 pm

    As a senator, she is supposed to loyal to wyoming voters only.

  12. Maggie Norris on June 14, 2022 at 12:51 pm

    Bear in mind that a vote in Wyoming has about 40 times the impact of a vote in California and a similar effect in New York.

  13. Timothy Neighbors on June 14, 2022 at 12:52 pm

    She been on government teet all her life she isnt going anywhere part of the swamp that is our government

  14. AK Atthelake on June 14, 2022 at 12:52 pm

    What kind of propaganda is going on in Wyoming to keep these people in Trumps camp? Trump probably can’t even spell Wyoming.

  15. Phil Hmp on June 14, 2022 at 12:53 pm

    Way too many Americans claim to be for freedom and democracy. They blindly cheer on an autocrat and traitor who tried to destroy the very democratic republic that gives them the freedoms they currently enjoy so he can turn it into a fascist dictatorship serving himself. A dictatorship where he wouldn’t need their vote anymore allowing him to kick them to the curb.

    DHS Bush2? To givevrepublicans & presidents a private army.
    Why?
    To secure vitizens from tevoltingbagsinst new Gov.
    DHS taaked w keeping hiways safe.. since 9.11? Almost all mass shoitings? Are vkose to primary or 2° narcotics transporation routes. Since dgs tasked w overseeing them.
    Dhs used oull yrsilers n motorhomes? To travel hiways – to gas ppl w propranolo. Thus crearmting mass shooters out of potential mass shooters.
    Where? It didnt matter – randomness added to public fears.
    All nass dhooters pass osychologicals to be "not crazy" for court.
    Amer psychiatric associas? Stated publically 2021
    Mass shooters are not mentally ill ppl.
    (They are because they were drugged so severly? It pushed them into killing).
    Do to center fears on mentalky ill ppl? Is to cteate another cheap way to scare ppl into a *"DIVIDE& CONQUER"*
    Witch hunt…..
    See. Pt? To take fins awsy from ppl? To force i.s. into a "Mexico sryle" governmnt.
    Bush2 gave speech in mexico? He said they had perfect gov w tiny wealthy ruling upper class. And whole rest of nation lives in poverty w no power.
    and that’s the republican agenda (reinforced w dems) to destroy the u.s. and make it a nation where white ppl? Rule the world. putin is supposed to be in charge of e europe.
    U.s. will rule n & s america.
    China gets asia.

    Why are gays so miserable if they are so proud ?????

  20. JAMES LEE on June 14, 2022 at 12:58 pm

    and when did the truth become something to fear. it should be embraced

  21. scott mullins on June 14, 2022 at 12:59 pm

    His lies were so persuasive he raked in $250,000,000 in donations.

    Nothing like knifing your own party in the back

  23. Alonzo Suates on June 14, 2022 at 1:03 pm

    Liz is a trader to our country. Vote her out of office.

  24. Derks on June 14, 2022 at 1:03 pm

    I wish more politicians were like Cheney. When there is a path they strive toward truth. Not toward the ‘party.’ Too many Trump supporters follow him like his were the word.of.God when he is the farthest thing from righteousness.

  25. Donald Owens on June 14, 2022 at 1:04 pm

    I wonder many people 🤔 know we are not a democracy 🤔? But a republic .

  26. CRob on June 14, 2022 at 1:04 pm

    Uneducated folks will always choose the Conman cause honesty and integrity is something that they cannot understand.. Liz is better off without those folks and they will suffer for it.. She chose Country over a Conman..

  27. methos1999 on June 14, 2022 at 1:04 pm

    For all the people talking about how courageous Liz Cheney is… Let’s just remember her last name. She may be on the outs with the current GOP but she no doubt still has powerful friends and is likely quite wealthy. She’ll be ok regardless of what happens.

    I think it’s less about courage and more about gaining prominence for higher office.

  28. Donald Owens on June 14, 2022 at 1:07 pm

  29. citizenschallengeYT on June 14, 2022 at 1:08 pm

    What about trump betraying his country???

  30. Carlie 66 on June 14, 2022 at 1:10 pm

    People on Wyoming are not interested in truth or justice, they just sadly continue to follow Trump like the pied piper.
    Interesting how they think she "betrayed" Trump but never once considered Trump betrayed them with his election fraud lies.
    Wyoming residents just come across as a bunch of illiterate hillbillies.

  31. Akasha Wisdom on June 14, 2022 at 1:14 pm

    Trump betrayed America. I don’t align with Liz Chaney’s political views but she has morals and integrity. Both of which Trump has neither. She is fighting for our Democracy. Something Trump wanted to destroy. He needs to be held accountable for the assault he waged and lead against our Republic.

  32. Abdon Santella on June 14, 2022 at 1:16 pm

    Isn’t it ironic that a woman would be the only Republican that has the balls to uncover Trump’s lies about the election the Republicans men should be embarrassed who they have become

  33. Fredrick Hinojosa on June 14, 2022 at 1:18 pm

    A short 100 years later, Wyoming the cry like a baby if you lose state. What happened to the pioneering spirit?

  34. kenneth connelly on June 14, 2022 at 1:20 pm

    She’s done

  35. suespony on June 14, 2022 at 1:21 pm

    Gald I was able to watch this video, helped me in making a firm decision that I will never visit the state of Wyoming, delusional trumpeters at it’s finest.

  36. djcheddar on June 14, 2022 at 1:25 pm

    Still amazed that someone could just suddenly become a Republican Politician, and skyrocket to the top of it all, without any good reason or validity

  37. Claudio Velasquez on June 14, 2022 at 1:25 pm

    Liz Cheney a real hero to stand up for her country and democracy. Trump, the worse president ever and a really dangerous tyrant in the making, symptoms are narcissist, liar, megalomaniac to name a few, he is only fit to lead US to disaster.

  38. Quyen Nguyen on June 14, 2022 at 1:26 pm

    It is a shame that people cannot separate themselves from the party and should listen to the information provided to them.

    People working in government should be loyal to the constitution and the we the people. Not to one crazy self centered individual who tried to do what he can to stay in power including lies, abuse his position, and threaten people who don’t comply. Kinda remind me of a bully, a dictator, authoritarian.

  39. CHAZ FLAZ on June 14, 2022 at 1:26 pm

    Republicans and dumb are becoming synonymous!!!… That’s why they call it Jackson’s Hole

  40. AKF East on June 14, 2022 at 1:27 pm

    Had no idea so many uneducated people in Wyoming
    Cheney is ideal conservative
    Trump betrayed these people and they are blind to it.

  41. RazzleDazzle 49 on June 14, 2022 at 1:29 pm

    those poor folks

  42. V B on June 14, 2022 at 1:31 pm

    for NBC to even say this much indicates how bad it is for Liz…. as per poll only 28% GOP support her and even that number seems exaggerated….as a non-American and an outsider, I honestly feel she has been blinded (as for most Democrats) by her hatred towards Trump and has been wrong to oppose him ….. while he may be wrong in questioning the result, he is otherwise the best thing that could happened to USA and the world…. Ukraine, Afghanistan, inflation, border crisis, 700000 additional covid deaths etc would have never happened if he continued as president…just compare his time with his predecessor(all talk no substancee) and the present one (a disaster in every way) and the world can see the answer…. blame it on MSM, big tech and the partisan nature of American electorate to have put up the present administration… world needs a strong USA and it is exactly the opposite right now

  43. latexsolarbeef on June 14, 2022 at 1:31 pm

    ..rest assured Miss Liz..our country happens to inhabit the most uneducated population in the world ..nothing you can do but stand proud and disregard them..real Americans understand what your doing..the rest are simply paving their way to being second class citizens..which..after 6 years of these morons..is exactly what they deserve..

  44. Gene Tacey on June 14, 2022 at 1:35 pm

    NBC news tracked down enough Wyoming voters to pretend Liz has a chance for reelection. In fact she is toast for being involved in the dog and pony show to distract the great unwashed americans from the real problems that Biden is pretending don’t exist.

  45. C C on June 14, 2022 at 1:35 pm

    All these comments by these crazy Democrats of why they feel Liz is so great is laughable. People fail to mention that Liz is supposed to represent her constituents, not play footsies with the opposing party in aiding with a sham Jan. 6 committee. Wyoming is firing Liz in a few months. Her next stop will be MSDNC with circle back. That will be must see TV. lol

  46. Teresa Rodden on June 14, 2022 at 1:35 pm

    The people in Wyoming PREFER lies, corruption, and criminal behavior?

  47. Dan on June 14, 2022 at 1:36 pm

    This woman and the whole illegal committee of partisan politicians are a danger to our Republic, I am glad they were issued a request to not destroy any documentation so an investigation can occur and to punish the criminals and guarantee it never happens again in America.

  48. Concrete Dragon on June 14, 2022 at 1:38 pm

    The only reason she was allowed on the Jan 6 committee is bc the Democrats know she will uphold their narrative

  49. Michele Daniels on June 14, 2022 at 1:41 pm

    Sounds like the same excuses used for Katanji 🙏🏾❤️

  50. Eduardo Polack on June 14, 2022 at 1:42 pm
