The image shows Liz Cheney with a crutch and bandages walking away from a large trap labeled Trump GOP in a desert setting with mountains behind her. She has a speech bubble stating she is free. This responds to her August 2022 loss in the Wyoming Republican primary to a candidate backed by Donald Trump. The primary came after Cheney served on the House committee examining the January 6 Capitol events. Her defeat highlighted divisions within the Republican Party over loyalty to Trump.
