‘Bravo’: Liz Cheney’s stinging rebuke to Trump earns cheers on social media

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) clapped back at President-elect Donald Trump, who raged about the never-Trump conservative on his social media app, calling her a “Warmonger of low intelligence.”Cheney — who made headlines during the presidential campaign when she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris over President-elect Donald Trump, and urged other Republicans to do so as well — is the daughter of former vice-president Dick Cheney.In describing her, the White House said she “raised her voice — and reached across the aisle — to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency.”Cheney was recognized for her role as vice chair of the House January 6 Committee.Trump — and his MAGA allies — bemoaned President Joe Biden giving her the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday, accusing Cheney of being “totally corrupt.””She, ‘Bennie’ Thompson, and the rest of the Unselect Committee, destroyed and deleted all evidence from their crooked investigation of January 6th. Cheney has the distinction of losing her Congressional seat by the largest margin in History! The people of Wyoming understood how bad for our Country she was, but Biden rewarded her only because she hated ‘TRUMP,'” he railed.Trump then added, “She’s a Warmonger of low intelligence. All she wants to do is kill people in ‘Endless Wars,’ with no gain other than to defense companies. Liz Cheney, Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, Bennie Thompson, and the rest of these dishonest Thugs have gotten away with horrible things under the pretense of January 6th. Nancy Pelosi refused to accept the help which was offered for security. She is responsible, and admitted as much, for all to see, on her daughter’s tape. They have destroyed the lives of many people, and are rewarded by getting Biden Fake Medals. This is not America. January 20th cannot come fast enough. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”On Friday afternoon, Cheney issued a terse response.”Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember.”ALSO READ: Revealed: The secret Republican plot to disenfranchise millions of votersShe added that Americans need to “reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic — to protect the America we love from you.”Her response earned praise from supporters on Bluesky and X.”OMG! Liz Cheney just DEMOLISHED Donald Trump in response to his new threat toward her! Trump is no match for Liz Cheney,” remarked Democratic social media influencer Henry Sisson.”Well said. History will not be kind to Trump and his enablers,” replied the Republicans against Trump account on X.”I stand with #LizCheney and she is absolutely right,” cheered columnist Sophia A. Nelson.”Trump and his GOP enablers can try to retcon what happened on January 6th. But we all saw it with our own eyes. We saw Trump and Republicans lie about the election being stolen. People believed them and attacked the Capitol to try and overturn an election. The truth is the truth,” reacted Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark.”Liz Cheney responds to Trump latest. Bravo,” wrote Amanda Carpenter, writer and editor at the organization Protect Democracy, on Bluesky.
