Cheney calls Trump ‘the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for’
Former Rep. Liz Cheney took to Twitter to launch a scathing attack on President Donald Trump, asserting that he is the complete opposite of what Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, stood for. In her tweet, Cheney accused Trump of aligning the U.S. with those who oppose liberty.
“Trump – with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend,” Cheney declared in her post.
Cheney, who was among the House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, has been a vocal critic of the former president for years. She warned that history will not look kindly on those who support Trump, especially those who claim to be Reagan Republicans while turning a blind eye to his actions.
The tweet from Cheney came after Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Truth Social, labeling him as “A Dictator without Elections” who has done a poor job. This criticism comes as the U.S. has provided billions in aid to Ukraine as the country battles against Russia following a 2022 invasion.
“You shoulda never started it. You could’ve made a deal,” Trump remarked in his post.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served alongside Trump during his first term, pushed back against Trump’s comments in a tweet of his own. Pence emphasized that Ukraine did not start the war, rather it was Russia who launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion that has claimed countless lives. He stressed the importance of truth in building a road to peace.
The ongoing war of words between Trump and Zelenskyy has escalated as the U.S. looks to wind down its involvement in Ukraine. Despite Trump’s criticism, GOP senators have supported his call for Ukraine to hold elections, though they have refrained from labeling Zelenskyy as a dictator.
As the political drama unfolds, it is clear that tensions are high and the stakes are higher. The clash of ideologies and personalities continues to dominate the political landscape, leaving many wondering what the future holds for both domestic and international relations. Only time will tell how this saga will unfold.
