Liz getting Don over...
REPUBLICAN Liz Cheney is being challenged for her seat in the House of Congress by her own party after daring to criticise former leader Donald Trump. But it seems the 54-year-old, left, may not have too much to worry about given who officials have put her up against. Wyoming state senator Anthony Bouchard last week admitted he got a 14-year-old girl pregnant when he was 18.

Asked if he was going to stand down, the politician said: “Bring it on. I’m going to stay in this race. We’re going to continue to raise money because my record stands on its own.”
