Trump celebrates Cheney ouster: A 'bitter, horrible human being'

Former President Trump on Wednesday celebrated the removal of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her role in House GOP leadership.

Trump derided Cheney in personal terms in a statement following a vote to oust her as House Republican Conference chair over her repeated criticisms of the former president and his frequent, unproven claims about the 2020 election.

"Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party," Trump said in a statement, referencing a speech in which Cheney vowed she would not remain silent about Trump's election lies.

Trump also dismissed Cheney as a "talking point for Democrats," suggesting she was a distraction from issues like the border and economy.

"She is a warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our Great Military, the worst decision in our Country’s history," Trump said. "I look

“I am a huge Trump fan, but nobody’s perfect. His saying, “A bitter, horrible human being” is the sort of stuff that always made me cringe when he was president.”

He called a spade a spade-that’s what I liked about him. And considering the names he’s been called, that’s rather mild.

That’s your cowardly opinion. It helps GREATLY!


Well, you certainly practice what you preach. :D

I believe it is most helpful to do the work and give solid examples to back up my concerns.

I’ve been arguing successfully against liberals on the internet since 2006. The key is to avoid using ad-hominem attacks and nail them with examples that justify my position. I’ve gotten a lot of them banned because they can’t respond, so they go emotionally off the deep end.

If someone thinks Liz is bad, they can say, “she’s bad, and here’s why...” That is what Jesus followed “you brood of vipers” with. He called them that and then used examples to support his opinion.

Whenever someone on a liberal site says something along the lines of “you’re wrong and your stupid”, I just use the Dalton response: “Well, opinions vary. Thanks so much for sharing yours.”

It drives them up the wall and most don’t get it. They are so emotional they don’t even realize that their post was worthless without factual support. And neither is mine, except that their post is my proof, for all to see.

Meanwhile, here’s what Lizard said about Trump...

““Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. I will not participate in that,” Cheney said in a floor speech”

How do you feel about that?

Biden acts like a dictator with his executive orders, Cheney positions herself where she can fist bump her approval of his actions, and then accuses Trump of being an authoritarian who will destroy our democracy.

Instead of focusing on Biden and attacking his outrageous policies, she attacks Trump and lies about his accomplishments.

It is obvious Cheney is incubating globalism and pounces on Trump because she fears he will abort her vile spawn.

I hate to say this, but it is a much more civilized response. It begs the question, “what lie are you speaking about, and who gave evidence to show that it is a lie?”

Calling someone a liar is qualifiable and quantifiable. Of course, it’s also nonsense because all people are liars to one degree or another.

Re: "He's our once-in-a-lifetime prize fighter."

I disagree.

The Democrats, the Deep State, and the MSM, beat Trump to a pulp, non-stop, for four years.

If Trump ever threw a consequential counter-punch, I never saw it, or heard about it.

In spite of that, Trump did postpone America's political and economic suicide for four years, which is why I voted for him - twice.

Replace her in 2022 with pro-america candidate. She will be well taken care of, the deep state protects and enriches their own!

Many senseless endless wars...giving us more four star generals than we had at the hight of World War II... Bored Generals now tempted to make war on the American people for 'thinking the wrong political thoughts'.... Hell on earth - an unintentional byproduct of Bush/Cheney insanity...

Has Lizardlips Cheney put on one of those costumes from “The Handmaid’s Tale,” yet?

Can you think of a different/better way to describe her that could be said in mixed company?

I look at what he said as having been softened for delicate snowflake ears like yours. I would tell you what he was thinking as are most on FR but those terms would likely get me banned.

Not me.

It actually endears him to me even more.

If there's nothing more that I have learned in this life, its that you can't "Love someone into the kingdom", or in other words, soft-peddling, or being overly concerned about ones opinion, in the long-run, is counter productive.

The best policy is to be bluntly honest. People learn their lessons much, MUCH more quickly that way.

At least her replacement should be able to keep her mouth shut and work for the good of the party and not fracture it.

I’m sure you would respond in a very civilized way when someone publicly declares you an unrepentant and irredeemable liar.

We’re in a war and we are losing it badly. We desperately need leaders like Trump who are not squeamish about eviscerating our enemies and especially our traitors.

Yes. And I have. And I’ve been called much worse. Thing is, I believe the attack speaks more to the attacker’s quality than the atackee’s quality.

And I am Mr. Spock in arguments. If I get emotional, I’ve lost.

With that I agree. But they need to be objective, rather than subjective labels.

““Trump saying what he thinks AND correctly pointing out that Cheney, in fact, IS a “bitter, horrible human being,” is one of the very reasons to be “a Trump fan.” It’s why we LOVE TRUMP! “

Good reply.

Still a lot of BUSHIES here on FR.”
