Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is pushing again on claims from MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell that voter fraud occurred in her dwelling state throughout the 2020 elections.
“We’ve got a reputation for this in Wyoming. Lunacy,” Cheney said in a tweet on Tuesday after Lindell’s feedback had been revealed.
On Wednesday, Cheney’s reelection marketing campaign issued an announcement calling Lindell an “unhinged conspiracy theorist.”
“Our county clerks work tirelessly and do a incredible job, as does our Secretary of State,” marketing campaign supervisor Tammy Hooper mentioned. “The folks of Wyoming honor and respect their public service and we’ve full confidence in them to pretty and lawfully perform our elections, as they’ve achieved persistently prior to now.”
Lindell’s allegations, Hooper mentioned, are “harmful and unsuitable.”
“Everybody throughout Wyoming, together with the Republican state celebration management, elected officers, and candidates have a duty to sentence these unfounded allegations and clarify that we gained’t permit an out-of-state wacko to baselessly assault the integrity of our public servants or query our patriotism,” she mentioned.
Whereas attending a rally for former President Trump in Casper, Wyo., this month, Lindell instructed an area information web site that widespread voter fraud occurred in Wyoming throughout the 2020 presidential election and that anybody who says in any other case is a traitor to the nation.
“Any politician says that — 100% traitor,” Lindell mentioned. “Wyoming had 20-some thousand votes stole within the president election. That’s virtually 10 % of your house [total cast] votes in Wyoming. Every little thing was taken.”
Lindell has repeatedly falsely claimed the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” towards Trump. He has been sued by a voting techniques firm for defamation over his claims in regards to the election.
Wyoming voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020.
Cheney, who’s dealing with a Trump-backed challenger in a Republican main, also placed her first television advertising buy of 2022 this week.
