Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) does not appear to be fazed by the backlash she's facing in her home state. A day after the Wyoming GOP formally censured Cheney and threatened to withhold future political funding for her because she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, the No. 3 House Republican continued to speak out against Trump, telling Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday that her party "should not be embracing the former president."
"We're the party of Abraham Lincoln, we're the party of Ronald Reagan," she said. "We have to really take a hard look at who we are, what we stand for, and what we believe in."
