Harriet Hageman

Trump has called Cheney a "RINO'' and a warmonger (among other insults) and appears to have made defeating her re-election bid a top priority.

The seat is currently held by Republican Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump in January and has since engaged in an ongoing war of words with the former president.

Hageman ran for governor in 2018, finishing third in the GOP primary behind Mark Gordon--who was later elected to the seat-- and Foster Friess.

Trump has said repeatedly that he wants Cheney's opponents to coalesce around one candidate.

Hageman said ''I had nothing to do with the situation Dr. Haynes finds himself in. The only person responsible for the current situation is Dr. Haynes, OK?

'If you are going to make me point the finger, I am going to point it at Harriet Hageman' Haynes said when asked who is behind the allegedly false allegations.

Wyoming's primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 21.

Harriet Hageman, a Cheyenne attorney, is among among six Republicans who have filed to seek their party's nomination in the Aug. 21 primary.

Perhaps, a better way might be to fight from the inside.

Hageman told her supporters on Tuesday ''Our rights don't come from the government but from God."
