“The Lincoln Project had no interaction with Congresswoman Cheney,” the super PAC GOP “never Trump” said in a statement. “That said, we think she would take Matt Gaetz into a fight with a hand tied behind his back.”

The organization issued the statement in response to what it called “a rumor[s] circulating ”about coordinating with Cheney, the House’s most important Republican to vote in favor of Trump’s impeachment in January.

“It is telling that the Republican leadership spends more time focusing on an imaginary alliance than exposing and condemning the QAnon conspiracies that are being spread by members of its own bench,” added the statement, an apparent reference to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. ).

In addition to promoting the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, Greene supported allegations that several school shootings and the 9/11 attacks were staged, and she has repeatedly supported Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged.

In his Thursday rally, Gaetz called Cheney part of an “indoor club” that “wants[s] to turn our government into its default configuration, enriching them, making them more powerful at our expense, but we can stop and it all starts here in Wyoming. “

Two other Republican congressmen, Representatives Andy Biggs (Arizona) and Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Are taking the lead in a resolution calling for Cheney to step down as president of the House Republican Conference.
