Related: Hageman Campaign Creates ‘Cheney For Virginia’ Website:
Congressional candidate Harriet Hageman has doubled down on her claims that her Republican primary opponent U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney is not a true Wyomingite by creating a spoof website called “Liz Cheney for Virginia.”
The website LizCheneyForVa.com portrays Cheney as a Virginia resident who is working for the priorities of that state.
Cheney spokesman Jeremy Adler did not immediately return Cowboy State Daily’s request for comment on Monday.
In an ad posted on her YouTube channel, also titled “Cheney for Virginia,” Hageman continued to question Cheney’s commitment to representing Wyoming, a topic she has frequently addressed in her campaign.
“Liz Cheney clearly doesn’t know what being a representative means,” Hageman said. “She’s not representing us. She’s not representing Wyoming. She’s not representing our values. Let’s send her home … to Virginia.”
The spoof website invites visitors to get to know Cheney’s hometown in Fairfax County, Virginia and links to a tourism website all about the attractions in the area. It also claims she bases her family in northern Virginia.
It’s a great piece of trolling.
