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.

With less than 7 percent of Republicans House Members being women, you can see why Trump and Goetz would target her.

1. trump for jail

What the Phuck is wrong with republicans who are willing to continue kissing trumps ass? Were all of you jerks born in a barn and suffer from frostbite?

2. Love the infighting - it does nothing but help us.

19. Forget about The Bus

there's a whole fleet of them revving up.

[George II]

21. They've even ordered several of these:

[denem]

22. Good One.Yes, they would want not want too many arms and legs sticking out,

of fallen comrades acclimatizing to permanent shade.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. "10's of billions of dollars" from our allies"?

Let's see the receipts on that pResident Liar.

[trusty elf]

12. "so-called allies"

Totally outrageous!

[oasis]

4. Watching with interest.

[Nikki28]

5. Antichrist

It fits Trump or Jim Jones when the poor creatures drunk the cool aid.I hate to be mean and do not want to feel this way,;but I hope Iran story of putting a hit on him is true and he fears for his life so much that he stays in his bunker. He is nothing but a mobster.When is Bill Barr going to be impeached or testify because we know he won't show up.

17. I think he really fears for his life from Putin,

even more than he fears for the lives of his family (even Ivanka). I'm sure that Putin has pointed out that his international connections have no problem making a hit even in democracies such as the UK, even on the rich and famous. There have even been highly suspicious deaths right here in this country.

* Kompromat
* Death and/or disfigurement threats
* Trump's personality failings of narcissism, fearfulness, avarice, power hunger, ego, and more combined with a failing brain

This is the triple threat that keeps him under Putin's thumb and doing his bidding. Putin's ultimate aim is a bloodless coup, where he can enrich himself from America with none of the messy management details required in an actual physical takeover. All he needed was the key - the right presidential candidate.

Just my thoughts.

6. Never did I ever think I'd be concerned over the treatment of a Cheney by the GOP.

[LakeArenal]

7. She's positioning herself to forefront the new GOP

Let’s face it. Political figures gonna politicate.

[comradebillyboy]

15. I will root for the neo-cons over the tea

baggers every time. Liz is deplorable in her own right but sill vastly better than anyone in the freedom caca.

[Polybius]

20. Not me

I hate warmongers the most.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. This is just a prelude to the internal warfare in Greed Over People Nov 4 and beyond. . . . nt

[COLGATE4]

9. i love the sound of Repubs savaging

other Repubs. It's a bonus that they're doing it to Lucky Sperm Club charter member Liz Cheney/

[SunSeeker]

10. This can't just be over Fauci. Something more is going on here.

I think they fear she will leak embarrassing intel on the Putin bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan.

[hlthe2b]

11. Gawd, I detest Dick and Liz only slightly less, but I say (re: Dick) Release the Kracken!

I have little doubt the senior a'hole is stilll fully capable of hitting back from the sidelines and in a way Trump will never see coming.

[pandr32]

13. This is interesting

I am actually rooting for her now even though I detest her.

[MFGsunny]

25. Boy howdy ... never thought I'd have "Root for Liz Cheney" on my bingo card.

But in view and consideration of sequence of events ....

[pandr32]

32. We are in insane times!

[Laelth]

14. At this rate, Liz Cheney is going to have to switch parties.

That’s something I had never before imagined. We live in interesting times.

-Laelth

[Greybnk48]

36. She'll have to go to the Green Party, because she will NEVER be a Democrat

with her evil gene pool. She's just like daddy, and everyone should know that.

[Laelth]

39. I didn't say we would want her.

But the truth is that we can’t stop her from running as a Democrat if she so chooses.



-Laelth

[comradebillyboy]

16. Don't piss off Dick Cheney or his

demon spawn daughter. Liz and Dick will rip them to shreds.

[Thomas Hurt]

18. tsk, tsk, Disagreeing with Emperor Petulantus Maximus means you are instantly a dirty socialist.

[elleng]

23. Oh GOOD, they're fighting eachother!

And tho her father is, imo, way high on the despicable list, let them shed those who don't agree on either.

[benld74]

24. Cheney could kick both their collective arses

And not even break a sweat

[greenjar_01]

26. My dude bout to find out about Evil Dick

Cheney's grown old, but no less vicious. HE'S WATCHING.

[athenasatanjesus]

27. I get that these people are evil

But don't they understand that one day Trump will turn on them too.

[Fla Dem]

28. God forbid anyone in the GOP stand up for their principles. Tarred and feathered.

[beachbumbob]

29. nothing makes me smile more than watching GOP eat their own, and this will be

non-stop up to Nov 3rd as the writing is on the wall and desperation increases

[Bayard]

30. "They must, at least, treat us fairly!!!"

In other words, "We want you to do us a favor, though".

[Cha]

31. STFU, trump, you TREASONOUS FUCK. you Don't Get to TALK about

OUR Country when you're Putin's GD PUPPET.

Putin putting Bounties on our American and UK Soldiers Ring any GD BELLS for you!?

[RussBLib]

33. how DARE you?!?!

How DARE you contradict our lying, full-of-shit president!! Why can't you lie like everyone else? Your father was great at it!

[BlueIdaho]

34. Republicans attacking Republicans - I like it!

Have at it - assholes!

[paleotn]

35. And that's why few ever break ranks...

It's not about ideas or debate. The whole rotten mass that is the Rethuglican Nazi Party is about power, control and above all, money. They will destroy their own if they step just a little out of line. So I don't ever want to hear the media talk about "moderate Rethuglicans." There are no moderates in that party. From Susan Collins to John Cornyn, they're all a bunch of rat fucking bastards! And until they are all rounded up and removed, by hook or by crook, this country will remain mired in the mess we find ourselves in.

[Ilsa]

37. I feel so violated. GOP makes me want to defend

Liz Cheney of all people. Next, they'll do something to have me praying for an apocalyptic asteroid to hit Earth, or hoping the Four Horsemen in trump's Cabinet overthrow him.

[flibbitygiblets]

38. "our so-called allies", FFS. Putin must be ecstatic.

[Buckeyeblue]

40. Trump is doing her a favor...she'll be anti trump

And in 4 years be in a position to rebuild the party. I think she could be a front runner to 2024. She'll be conservative but anti-Trump. Cotton will have to continually defend his support of Trump. Let's watch this.
