Harriet Hageman has a"record of anti-conservation, anti-government zealotry that once earned her the nickname 'Wicked Witch of the West' among environmentalists—a title she embraced."Wyoming's Republican voters on Tuesday nominated for the U.S. House a right-wing attorney who has spent decades combating regulations aimed at preserving her state's lands and waters from fossil fuel exploitation.
Harriet Hageman cruised to victory in Wyoming's at-large House district, benefiting from widespread right-wing anger at incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney over her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump in 2021 and her decision to serve as vice chair of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The former president endorsed Hageman, an ex-Cheney ally who in 2016 called Trump"somebody who is racist and xenophobic" andHageman now disowns her previous statements on Trump, claiming she was led astray by"the lies the Democrats and Liz Cheney's friends in the media were telling at the time." "Absolutely the election was rigged," Hageman said on the campaign trail, echoing the former president's lie about the 2020 election."What happened in 2020 is a travesty."
