1:52.2	Republican Representative Liz Cheney lost her primary bid in Wyoming to get reelected.
1:56.5	It was an absolute slaughter.
2:03.8	It was nearly by 40 points to Harriet Higman, who is a real treat, by the way.
2:14.8	And of course, Liz Cheney lost this primary because she has been standing up to Donald Trump for a while now, and she knew that it was coming.
