Liz Cheney Teams Up With Trump

Who could have imagined that this would happen?

Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney and former President Trump, despite their previous conflicts, have converged in their criticism of President Biden’s recent actions regarding Israel.

Cheney, known for her anti-Trump stance and her vote to impeach him, spoke out against Biden’s decision to withhold aid from Israel, labeling it as “wrong and dangerous.” This stance aligns with Trump’s recent tweets accusing Biden of supporting the Hamas terror group and taking the side of terrorists by withholding aid.

Their criticism stemmed from Biden’s pledge to halt weapons shipments to Israel should Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proceed with an invasion of Rafah, Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza. Both Cheney and Trump see this move as detrimental to Israel’s security and as potentially empowering Iran and other terrorist groups in the region.

Trump, in his characteristic style, lambasted Biden for what he sees as weakness and corruption, asserting that under his leadership, such conflicts would have been handled differently. He also criticized Biden’s approach to other domestic issues, linking them to what he perceives as a broader pattern of capitulation.

Cheney’s public denouncement of Biden occurs amidst her ongoing political feud with Trump and her involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigation. Despite her past alignment with Trump on certain issues during his presidency, she has emerged as a vocal critic, particularly following his defeat in the 2020 election.

As the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney’s political trajectory has been marked by moments of alignment and divergence from the Republican Party’s mainstream. Her willingness to break ranks with Trump and her party on key issues shows the deep divisions within the GOP and American politics more broadly.
