‘Kevin Costner Is a Pretend Rancher’: Liz Cheney’s Primary Opponent Unleashes on Her Over Hollywood Endorsement
C. Douglas Golden, The Western Journal August 3, 2022 at 8:35am
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is one of two Republican members of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 House select committee charade.
Unlike the other RINO on that august body, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Cheney didn’t even have the good sense to quit; Kinzinger, reading the pollsters’ tea leaves, has opted not to run again.
However, Cheney is in deep trouble. A July survey found her trailing her Republican primary challenger, attorney Harriet Hageman, by a whopping 22 points, according to the Casper Star-Tribune.
So, Cheney brought in the big guns to endorse her campaign. Well, actually, a big gun, singular: Kevin Costner.
Because when I think of the Mountain West, I think of Costner. Why, just look at the Westerns he’s starred in! “Dances With Wolves”! “Wyatt Earp”! “The Postman”! (Actually, try not to think too hard about “The Postman”; critically and commercially, that movie was basically a bomb on par with Cheney’s 2022 re-election campaign thus far.)
Granted, Costner has seen a bit of a career resurgence after picking up a starring role in “Yellowstone,” a Montana-set Western on the Paramount Network that deals with land conflicts among ranchers. It has more conservative fans than the average liberal-driven entertainment product, which might have given the Cheney campaign an idea.
