Who is the Florida man trying to defeat Liz Cheney? [View all]

A Florida resident who has become an odd player in the campaign to replace Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney says controversial statements he made in the past, like those related to the QAnon conspiracy theory, were part of an effort to discredit a liberal media that was poised against him.

In an interview with WyoFile, Karl “K.W.” Miller, who recently moderated a candidate forum in Casper featuring all but two participants in the 2022 Republican primary for Congress, downplayed his past statements seemingly showing support for the conspiracy theory. Miller said his social media activity during his independent 2020 bid for U.S. Congress in the Sunshine State (in which he received 2% of the vote) was an effort to demonstrate bias by social media giants like Twitter and Facebook.

David Iverson, one of the organizers of the event and host of the conservative podcast Cowboy State Politics, did not respond to a request for comment on Miller’s involvement.

A resident of Palm Beach, Miller has recently gotten involved in Wyoming’s 2022 Wyoming’s Republican primary race for Cheney’s seat through his America First Political Committee. The group is “mobilizing to remove liberals and socialist [sic] from political office in 2022,” according to its website. Miller comes to Wyoming with a checkered past in politics that includes criminal charges and social media posts promoting bizarre conspiracy theories.
