The Wyoming Republican Party voted overwhelmingly Saturday to censure U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney for voting to impeach President Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Only eight of the 74-member state GOP‘s central committee stood to oppose censure in a vote that didn’t proceed to a formal count. The censure document accused Cheney of voting to impeach even though the U.S. House didn’t offer Trump ‘formal hearing or due process.’

‘We need to honor President Trump. All President Trump did was call for a peaceful assembly and protest for a fair and audited election,’ said Darin Smith, a Cheyenne attorney who lost to Cheney in the Republican U.S. House primary in 2016. ‘The Republican Party needs to put her on notice.’
