'Bravo': Liz Cheney's stinging rebuke to Trump earns cheers on social media

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) clapped back at President-elect Donald Trump, who raged about the never-Trump conservative on his social media app, calling her a "Warmonger of low intelligence."

*snip*

In describing her, the White House said she "raised her voice -- and reached across the aisle -- to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency."

*snip*

Trump — and his MAGA allies — bemoaned President Joe Biden giving her the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday, accusing Cheney of being "totally corrupt."

*snip*

On Friday afternoon, Cheney issued a terse response.

"Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember."

NOTE: The article quotes extensively from Trump's hateful, lie riddled social media post. If you want to know what he said, you can go there to read it. I didn't want to waste space quoting his lies here.

No matter what anyone says, how awful her father is, or how many policy issues I disagree with her about; I believe Liz Cheney is a true patriot who cares about this country. If you don't believe me, I recommend reading her book, Oath snd Honor.
