Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., announced this week that they will vote for Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, but Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called them "irrelevant RINOs" (Republicans in name only) and said their anti-Trump politics should be dismissed, if not "prosecuted."
"Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races!" Trump wrote Friday night on Truth Social. "They couldn't get Scooter Libby, who did so much for them (but was so unfairly treated!), PARDONED. I did it!
"He's the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris."
By contrast, Trump has long campaigned on the fact he is the only president in the past few decades not to start a foreign war, saying he is the only candidate that can prevent World War III after multiple wars have erupted under President Joe Biden and Harris.
"I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III!" Trump's post continued, turning his ire to Liz Cheney, who was voted out of office and disavowed by the Republican Party in Wyoming after serving on the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"What Liz Cheney did with the Unselect Committee of Political Losers is unthinkable. She and her Unselects deleted and destroyed all evidence and information - IT'S GONE. Much of it proved that Nancy Pelosi was responsible for J6 - DIDN'T PROVIDE SECURITY. Cheney and the others should be prosecuted for what they did, but Comrade Kamala is even worse!"
