Trump-endorsed House hopeful Harriet Hageman spoke to supporters in Cheyenne Tuesday night following her primary win over incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney; Hagman said “Wyoming has put the elites on notice,” adding that if you want to represent the Cowboy State, “you damn better well live in Wyoming.”
“Wyoming has spoken on behalf of everyone all across this great country who believes in the American dream, who believes in liberty and who recognizes that our natural rights—the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal protection and due process—come from God,” she told the crowd. “They do not come from government and the government cannot take them away.”
Hageman appeared on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle Tuesday night, shortly after her victory; Ingraham asked Hageman about Cheney’s concession speech, in which she vowed to keep fighting Trump.
“I have not had an opportunity to even see or hear what she had to say because I’ve been kind of focused on what’s going on here,” Hageman told Ingraham. “It doesn’t surprise me that she would revert to those same old talking points, because that’s really in large part what got her defeated.”
“She’s not focusing on Wyoming,” she added. “She’s not focusing on our issues. She’s still focusing on an obsession about President Trump. And the citizens of Wyoming, the voters of Wyoming sent a very loud message tonight. We have spoken. And that is not what we are interested in in terms of our lone congressional representative.”
Hageman told Ingraham Wyoming “is entitled to have a representative that represents our interests, listens to us, that addresses our issues.”
“That isn’t Liz Cheney, and the fact that that’s where she went back to with her speech tonight I think demonstrates that she really isn’t listening to Wyoming now, she hasn’t for quite some time, and that’s why we needed to replace her,” she said. “We need to have a representative in Wyoming who listens to us.”
