President Donald Trump piled on House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Thursday morning as her GOP colleagues demand she step down from her leadership position for clashing with the President’s attempts to discredit White House COVID-19 task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci.
“Liz Cheney is only upset because I have been actively getting our great and beautiful Country out of the ridiculous and costly Endless Wars,” Trump tweeted. “I am also making our so-called allies pay tens of billions of dollars in delinquent military costs. They must, at least, treat us fairly!!!”
He also retweeted a post from Mollie Hemingway, an editor at far-right media outlet the Federalist, accusing Cheney of helping the New York Times spread a “false anti-Trump story” on Trump’s refusal to take action on Russia paying bounties to the Taliban to kill U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Trump’s tweet follows reports of a private House GOP meeting on Tuesday in which Cheney was raked over the coals by her colleagues for defending Fauci and supporting Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) primary challenger.
After the meeting, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) demanded Cheney’s ouster as House GOP conference chair, claiming in a tweet that she “has worked behind the scenes (and now in public) against @realDonaldTrump and his agenda.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) retweeted Gaetz while hurling his own attack on Cheney.
“We should all join @realDonaldTrump in advocating to stop our endless wars. Liz Cheney not only wants to stay forever, she’s leading the fight to try to stop him from leaving,” Paul tweeted in a post that Trump retweeted on Thursday morning.
Trump failed miserably in his pandemic response and more than 140k+ Americans died and hundreds of thousands more got infected!
Trump should resign or be the one to be removed from office!

How about that new tone, eh?
Ah how will those allies will smile once their country’s economies surge against the diseased US economic response to COVID-19.
And Liz honey your daddy left big dirty footprints all over this country, are you going to ignore the dirt?
Who to root for, aye that’s the question of the ages.
