Liz Cheney Fires Back at Trump Over Bush Meme: ‘I Like Republican Presidents Who Win Re-Election’

Late last week, former President Donald Trump sent out a bizarre meme morphing the faces of two of his biggest political nemeses in the Republican Party: former President George W. Bush and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). The odd Photoshopped image appeared to be in response to Bush announcing he was headlining a fundraiser for Cheney next month. (Trump is backing the GOP primary opponent of Cheney, who voted to impeach the ex-president for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection.)

On Sunday morning, the Wyoming congresswoman—one of two Republicans on the Jan. 6 select committee—took a not-so-subtle shot at Trump over the meme, hitting him where it hurts. “I like Republican presidents who win re-election,” Cheney wrote on Twitter alongside a photo of Bush. Since his decisive electoral loss to President Joe Biden, Trump has relentlessly peddled the “Big Lie” that the election was rigged against him.

I’m tempted to like her, but I’m always reminded: a Republican is a Republican is a Republican. And a Cheney is a Cheney is a Cheney.

The non-crazy kind of evil that can successfully walk among normal people, blending in somewhat, while still carrying out their evil.

His poor widdle Republican ego just can't handle strong women and accurate insults. Yet another pathetic whiney Republican tantrum coming soon...for certain.

She is on this anti-Trump crusade because she has decided that it will help her political career in the long run. And otherwise she is just as crazy right wing as the other ones. And if she only likes Republican presidents who win reelection why was she such as big fan of George H. W. Bush who lost reelection to Bill Clinton? She is a liar and a hypocrite.
