President Donald Trump attacked Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Thursday, following up the swift rebuking issued to her by various members of the House Freedom Caucus publicly and privately.

He wrote the following tweet:

Trump also re-tweeted the following posts to further amplify his criticism of Cheney:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has been on the war path against Cheney because of her support for coronavirus doom prophet Dr. Anthony Fauci, her support of the war in Afghanistan, and her endorsement of the primary challenger of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).

“Liz Cheney should be better, and our conference would be better if she were no longer the chair of it,” Gaetz said on his “Hot Takes With Matt Gaetz” podcast, adding that his colleague Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) “made the case strongly that Liz Cheney is hurting President Trump.”

Donald Trump Jr. also piled on Cheney while she was getting hammered by congressional “America First” leaders.

Big League Politics has reported on how Cheney joined with Democrats to use a fake news report about Russia funding Taliban bounties in Afghanistan to make it more difficult for President Trump to remove troops from the region:

Democrats are seizing upon a fake news report alleging that Russia has funded Taliban mercenaries to kill U.S. soldiers in order to make it more difficult for troops to be pulled from Afghanistan, thus undermining President Trump’s foreign policy agenda.

The House Armed Services Committee voted on Wednesday to make it more difficult for Trump to pull troops out of Afghanistan. It would force several certifications to be met before Trump could bring troops home. Republicans in the committee joined the Democrats to undermine Trump with the approval of this National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) amendment.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the neoconservative who supports Bush-era globalism, said the measure “lays out, in a very responsible level of specificity, what is going to be required if we are going to in fact make decisions about troop levels based on conditions on the ground and based on what’s required for our own security, not based on political timelines.” It was approved by a 45-11 vote.

The amendment requires an assessment to determine whether or not “state actors have provided any incentives to the Taliban, their affiliates, or other foreign terrorist organizations for attacks against United States, coalition, or Afghan security forces or civilians in Afghanistan in the last two years, including the details of any attacks believed to have been connected with such incentives” before troops can be removed from the country.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) bragged about how the measure will make sure the U.S. does not leave the region and more American lives are put in jeopardy for a war effort that is largely recognized to be a lost cause.

“There’s been bipartisan criticism of what a weak deal [Trump] got with the Taliban, a deal that is already falling apart,” Moulton said. “Now we learned that he was making this deal at the same time as there were bounties on the heads of American troops, American sons and daughters. We clearly need more oversight over what the president is doing in Afghanistan.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is the most eloquent voice for an “America First” foreign policy in the House, opposed the measure because of its obvious implications against peace.

The House Freedom Caucus has smoked Cheney out, making it considerably more difficult for her to deceive GOP voters as she attempts to repackage globalism and neoconservatism to the MAGA faithful.
