Trump Attacks 'Warmonger' Liz Cheney Over Statements There Was No Election Fraud
Former President Donald Trump has attacked GOP Representative Liz Cheney again, calling her a "warmonger" on Wednesday for her assertions that there was no voter fraud in the presidential election.
"Warmonger Liz Cheney, who has virtually no support left in the Great State of Wyoming, continues to unknowingly and foolishly say that there was no Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election when in fact, the evidence, including no Legislative approvals as demanded by the U.S. Constitution, shows the exact opposite," Trump said in a statement.
This is the second time Trump has criticized Cheney in the past three days.
On Monday, the former president said in a statement, "Heartwarming to read new polls on big-shot warmonger Liz Cheney of the great State of Wyoming. She is so low that her only chance would be if vast numbers of people run against her which, hopefully, won't happen. They never liked her much, but I say she'll never run in a Wyoming election again!"
Cheney has become the face of the anti-Trump wing of the Republican Party since she voted for his second impeachment earlier this year. She was joined by nine other House Republicans and seven Senate Republicans.
Trump's remarks come as the highest-ranking Republican woman in Congress is now facing a second vote to remove her from her position as House Republican Conference chair. While Cheney earlier survived a secret vote by a large margin, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has made it clear he will not defend his colleague a second time.
On Tuesday, McCarthy was caught trashing Cheney on a hot mic, telling Fox News' Steve Doocy off-air, "I think she's got real problems. I've had it with...I've had it with her. You know, I've lost confidence.... Well, someone just has to bring a motion, but I assume that will probably take place."
On Wednesday, Trump went on to slam his former vice president, Mike Pence, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for not backing his unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 race and voting in favor of certifying the Electoral College votes in January.
"Had Mike Pence referred the information on six states (only need two) back to State Legislatures, and had gutless and clueless MINORITY Leader Mitch McConnell (he blew two seats in Georgia that should have never been lost) fought to expose all of the corruption that was presented at the time, with more found since, we would have had a far different Presidential result, and our Country would not be turning into a socialist nightmare! Never give up!" Trump said.
Newsweek reached out to Cheney's office for comment but did not hear back before publication.
