Losing by a staggering 38 points, Republican Representative Liz Cheney spent the last two years personally attacking former President Donald Trump. After Trump suggested the 2020 Election was stolen from him, some RINOs in the GOP, much like Cheney, claimed that he was nothing more than a sore loser as Joe Biden became the most-voted for President in history. After the January 6 riot, Cheney landed a cushy seat on the January 6th Committee, trying to place the blame on Trump. With her attention always on Trump, it appears the voters in Wyoming decided to vote for someone willing to put them first. But while Liz Cheney lost, apparently, she might have violated Federal Election Commission rules due to letting a former ABC News president film her concession speech.

While on the January 6th Committee, Liz Cheney worked alongside James Goldston, former President of ABC News, to present the findings to America in a fashion most fitting for television. When Cheney lost, her commission speech happened to be filmed by Goldston’s personal production company. 

According to CNN, “An in-kind contribution is a non-monetary contribution. Goods or services offered free or at less than the usual charge result in an in-kind contribution. Similarly, when a person or entity pays for services on the committee’s behalf, the payment is an in-kind contribution. An expenditure made by any person or entity in cooperation, consultation or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate’s campaign is also considered an in-kind contribution to the candidate.”

The outlet added, “The value of an in-kind contribution—the usual and normal charge—counts against the contribution limit as a gift of money does. Additionally, like any other contribution, in-kind contributions count against the contributor’s limit for the next election, unless they are otherwise designated.”

Liz Cheney, surprisingly might not be knowledgeable about the rules for the Federal Elections Commission as she focused on her comparison to Abraham Lincoln. “The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all,” she said to her supporters in Jackson, Wyoming. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”

Before talking about one of the nation’s top Presidents, Liz Cheney harped on her obsession with Donald Trump, “The path was clear. But it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic.” 

Taking another win, Donald Trump praised Harriet Hageman, Cheney’s opponent, on Truth Social, writing, “Congratulations to Harriet Hageman on her great and very decisive WIN in Wyoming. This is a wonderful result for America and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs. Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion, where I am sure she will be much happier than she is right now. Thank you, WYOMING!”
