Trump Slams ‘Warmongering and Despicable Human Being’ Cheney After Warning of Potential Move

Former President Donald Trump responded to news that the Jan. 6 Select Committee could make a criminal referral to the Justice Department by calling out Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for her part in the proceedings.

Trump spoke out on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying that Cheney is out of favor with her constituency, personally offensive, and also out of step with fellow committee members in her assertions.

“Warmongering and despicable human being 👤Liz Cheney, who is hated by the great people of Wyoming (down 35!), keeps saying, over and over again, that HER Fake Unselect Committee may recommend CRIMINAL CHARGES against a President of the United States who got more votes than any sitting President in history,” Trump said in his post.

Trump continued writing, “Even the Dems didn’t know what she was talking about! Why doesn’t she press charges instead against those that cheated on the Election, or those that didn’t properly protect the Capitol?…..”

Trump’s frustration with Cheney stemmed from comments made by the lawmaker on Sunday during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”

The Wyoming Republican said that following the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, the committee is faced with a decision of whether to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
