(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, AUG 16 - Liz Cheney was defeated in the Republican primary in Wyoming by the candidate supported by Donald Trump.
According to projections from the New York Times, Harriet Hageman got 61% of the vote against 31% of the daughter of former George W. Bush vice president, DickCheney.
"The United States cannot be ruled by a mob on social media."
She said it Cheney in her speech in Wyoming, after the defeat in the primary.
The MP accused Trump of publishing the names of the FBI agents who participated in the search in Florida.
"She did it on purpose and maliciously," she attacked.
Cheney then cited Abraham Lincoln who lost congressional elections but then "won the most important and held our Union together."
"Now the real work begins," said the deputy, quoting the words of the former US president.
