Trump Fumes Over 'Irrelevant' Dick Cheney In Post-Harris Endorsement Meltdown

Source: Huff Post

Sep 7, 2024, 01:28 AM EDT


Donald Trump ranted about Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), on Friday after the two threw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign this week.

“Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races!,” wrote the GOP nominee on his Truth Social platform. His post comes on the same day that Liz Cheney revealed that her father, who once endorsed Trump’s 2016 campaign before becoming a harsh critic of the former president, would be voting for the Democratic nominee in the fall.

Dick Cheney, who served as former President George W. Bush’s VP, later released a statement confirming that he’s backing Harris and warned that Trump can “never be trusted with power again” due to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Trump, in his Truth Social post, railed about Dick Cheney not pardoning his ex-chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby who in 2007 was convicted of four felony charges of perjury and obstruction of justice related to a CIA leak scandal.

W waged an all out assault on American democracy in Florida in 2000. No one should ever forget that. W claiming to support democracy in 2024 would be like Dracula now promising to protect the blood supply. Hypocrisy at its worst.

with the help of his little brother Florida Governor and his Florida campaign co-chair/Florida Secretary of State. This is the anti-democracy road map the orange turd is now using. No one should ever forget Florida 2000 and the Bush's responsibility for it.

Dumpy the Clown

Had a big frown

Because Dick came to town

And with his daughter Liz got down

With the black woman they'll go

Said he was too slow

His mind was gone and didn't know

His rant was on blast to show

People how unhinged was he

Only MAGAts could understand with glee

To everyone else he was simply an empty calorie

He tried to make up for it by yelling more loudly

About Dick (Cheney) - 😁 - not pardoning Scooter Libby? What. The…

The Apricot Antichrist should know full well that the VP has no power to pardon anyone. Seriously, this is so stoopid (sic) that it not only hurts my head, it also needs a double 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

There once was a time, long ago in your frolicking youthful naivety that we thought Dick Cheney was the epitome of evil. Boy were we wrong. Now even Vader hates Donny and yes, that's relevant.
