Lynne Cheney told former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-WY) to “shut your mouth” about supporting Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) over Cheney’s daughter Liz in the U.S. Senate race, the Cody Enterprise reports.
The conversation was conveyed in a Facebook post by Simpson’s daughter-in-law: “I wasn’t involved, just a bystander. But I won’t tolerate others that treat those I care about … with such disdain and disrespect. An intelligent woman like Lynne should realize that everyone is entitled to speak their mind and have an opinion. I was tempted to go tell her where she can go for speaking to a man I love that way when it occurred to me her so very classy commentary would be better shared here. Isn’t she a gem!”
