Cheney Harasses Trump

Trump lives rent-free inside of Liz Cheney’s head.

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney recently utilized a Taylor Swift concert video to take a jab at Donald Trump’s rally attendance, marking another episode in her ongoing critique of the former president. Cheney, a prominent Wyoming Republican and vocal Trump critic, posted a clip from Swift’s sold-out performance in London, contrasting it with reports of Trump’s recent rally struggles.

In the video shared on social media, Swift is seen performing alongside her boyfriend Travis Kelce at Wembley Stadium, surrounded by a massive and enthusiastic crowd. Cheney’s post was clearly aimed at Trump, highlighting what she considers a stark contrast to the reportedly underwhelming turnout at his political events. This move underscores Cheney’s continued divergence from Trump, a shift that solidified after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, which she and others blame on Trump’s baseless election fraud claims.

Trump, who has long boasted about his ability to attract large crowds, faced scrutiny when footage from a Pennsylvania rally at Temple University’s Liacouras Center revealed significant numbers of empty seats in a venue that can hold 10,000 people. This drew mockery online and added fuel to ongoing debates about Trump’s political influence and support.

Cheney’s political journey has been marked by significant shifts. Once an ally of Trump, she joined nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach him following the Capitol riot. Despite losing her 2022 primary to Harriet Hageman, Cheney remains outspoken against Trump and has hinted she may not support him in future elections.

Thank you @taylorswift13 for giving us a million reasons to smile.
PS- @realDonaldTrump this is what a sold out crowd actually looks like. https://t.co/v7bDyunnlr

Meanwhile, Swift, a vocal political figure in her own right, endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, citing the need for leadership that addresses racial justice, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and public health crises. Despite Trump’s criticism of her political stance, Swift continues to advocate for voting and civic engagement among her fan base.

As the 2024 election looms, both Cheney and Swift represent voices critical of Trump’s presidency and advocacy for alternative leadership. Their actions reflect broader divisions within the Republican Party and the evolving role of celebrities in American politics.
