Shortly after U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney asked a handful of moderate Teton County Republicans, Democrats and independents for their vote Monday afternoon on the back porch of a Snake River-side Wilson home, some attendees made clear that their alliance was not easy.

“So many of us have changed our party to vote for you,” one woman called from the back of the crowd, standing near an infinity pool that emptied into a pond just behind her. “But please remember, Roe v. Wade is not a black and white issue. There’s housing involved, there’s life and death involved. It’s not black and white.

Harriet Hageman speaks with voters at the Teton County Fair Building in June. In a prepared statement she said the people are fed up with Cheney for her role on the Jan. 6 committee. “When I’m the next congresswoman, I will always remember who hired me for the job,” Hageman said.

Good article. All these people are engaged in a personal vendetta against Trump. There mission is to prevent him from being able to run in 2024. In other words preventing voters from having the choice to vote for him. The trend from the left and the establishment has been to deplatform rather than arguing policy. It's Un-American, but more effective than a free exchange of ideas. I support Trump because I agree with his policies and I believe in free speech. The "take down Trump by any means necessary" mantra of the people at this event is ugly and post constitutional.
