Trump's Latest Target: Liz Cheney, "War Hawk" and "RINO"
The latest target of Donald Trump's fiery rhetoric? Liz Cheney, the Republican congresswoman who has been a vocal critic of the former president. Trump's latest attack, delivered at a rally in Wyoming, called Cheney a "war hawk" and a "RINO" (Republican in Name Only) for her role in the January 6th committee hearings.
"She's a war hawk," Trump boomed to the crowd, "She wants to go to war. She wants to go to war in the Middle East, she wants to go to war everywhere. She's a disaster." This isn't the first time Trump has used the "war hawk" label against Cheney. He has repeatedly criticized her stance on foreign policy, particularly her support for military intervention in the Middle East.
Trump's attacks on Cheney are part of a larger effort to discredit those who he believes are against him. He has also called Cheney a "RINO" and accused her of being disloyal to the Republican Party. It seems Trump's focus on "war hawk" rhetoric, like many of his other accusations, is an attempt to rile up his base and further solidify his hold on the Republican party.
The truth is, Cheney has been a vocal critic of Trump since the January 6th attack on the Capitol. She has been one of the most prominent voices within the Republican Party calling for accountability for the attack. She was one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the insurrection.
Cheney's stance has made her a target of Trump and his allies. Her primary opponent, Harriet Hageman, is a Trump-backed candidate who has pledged to be a more loyal supporter of the former president. The outcome of the election could have major implications for the future of the Republican Party.
The battle between Trump and Cheney is a microcosm of the larger divide within the Republican Party. It's a battle between those who still believe in Trump's vision for the party and those who are willing to break away from his grip. Only time will tell who will prevail, but one thing is clear: this is a fight that is far from over.
