LOS ANGELES.–Since bounced out of Congress Jan. 3, 2023 for her overt hatred of 78-year-old former President Donald Trump, 58-year-old former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) destroyed her career by turning against Trump. Cheney gladly served on the Jan. 6 Select Committee, one of two Republicans, the other being 46-year-old former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Il.), also lost his seat for betraying the Republican Party. Both Cheney and Kinzinger made a name for themselves after leaving Congress on the fake news, like CNN and MSNBC, disparaging Trump in hopes of preventing Trump from running for president in 2024. Cheney and Kinzinger were equally critical of Trump as 84-year-old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and 63-year-old Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), doing everything possible to prevent him from running for president. Cheney and Kinzinger said Trump was guilty of insurrection.
Once Trump was acquitted of his impeachment article “incitement of insurrection,” Feb. 13, 2021, frustrating Pelosi, Schiff, Kinzinger and Cheney, all of whom worked night-and-day in the House Jan. 6 Select Committee to prevent Trump from ever becoming president. Cheney and Kinzinger both told Special Counsel Jack Smith that Trump planned and orchestrated the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, having no facts only wild conjecture about Trump’s role on Jan. 6 that made little effort to stop the riots. All of that background lets voter know the extremes Cheney goes to prevent Trump from becoming president. Cheney knew that Trump supported her opponent in 2020 62-year-old Rep. Harriet Hagerman (R-Wy.) who beat her by the largest margin [40%] in U.S. House history. Cheney can’t stop hating Trump carrying on into the 2024 presidential race.
Cheney and her 83-year-old father former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed 62-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris for president Sept. 4, hoping that 78-year-old former President George W. Bush would also endorse her. Bush also hates Trump for telling the truth in 2016 to voters about the unnecessary Iraq War, killing thousands of U.S. troops and Arabs all under the false premise that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Bush’s 69-year-old former National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice vouched for Saddam having nuclear weapons. All the fake intel was run through Bush’s friends in the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans, bypassing normal intel channels, like the CIA. Trump was highly critical of Bush wasting so much U.S. blood and treasure. Dick Cheney was once asked about the loss of U.S. lives. He said well, U.S. soldiers signed up in the military.
Trump reacted recently to Liz Cheney’s defamatory comments campaign with Kamala. “This is how dictators destroy free nations,” Cheney wrote on X. “They threaten those who speak against them with death,” Cheney said. Trump never threatened Cheney with anything, only said she was a warmonger, who wouldn’t have the guts if she were in a war zone. Comedian Bill Maher said he doesn’t like or intend to vote for Trump but doesn’t want to be gaslighted by the fake news. “We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant,” Cheney said, repeating the same talking points as Kamala. “She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump said. “Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face,” Trump said, referring to Cheney and others quick to send U.S. soldiers into harm’s way.
Trump never said anything about threatening Cheney or other war hawks that back the reckless, costly proxy war with the Kremlin, driving the U.S. closer to WW III or nuclear war. Cheney can’t get over losing her No. 3 leadership post in the GOP congress, then getting defeated by record margins. “Kamala is campaigning with Muslim-hating warmonger, Liz Cheney, who wants to invade practically every Muslim country on the planet,” Trump said about Cheney. “And let me tell you the Muslims of our country, they see it, and they know it,” Trump said referring to how many Muslims were slaughtered by U.S. troops during the Iraq War, where Bush toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Trump wants to turn the tables on Kamala, knowing the Liz and Dick Cheney endorse her for president. Trump wants Muslims to know the Cheney’s are no friend of U.S. Muslims.
Demonizing Trump is the favorite pastime of Democrats and the U.S. press. How many times have you heard Kamala say that Trump is unhinged or unfit for president? Sounds like Nancy Pelosi back during Trump’s presidency when she called him names constantly. Saying Trump is unfit or unhinged is the same exact talking points Democrats have used for years to demonize Trump. So, when it comes to Democrats and the press believing Kamala’s disinformation and propaganda it’s nothing new. Trump was accused by Democrats and the press of colluding with the Kremlin to win the 2016 presidential election. Even when former Special Counsel Bob Mueller disproved the fake allegations, Democrats like Pelosi, Schiff, Cheney and Kinzinger continued to insist on Trump’s Russian ties. Even today, Kamala says Trump has an inappropriate relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
