Former President Donald Trump called former Rep. Liz Cheney a “stupid warhawk” after the ex-lawmaker campaigned with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday.
“All she wants to do is shoot missiles at people,” Trump said of the former Wyoming congresswoman who appeared at a campaign rally for Harris in Wisconsin. “I think they hurt each other,” Trump added. “I think they’re so bad, both of them.”

Cheney overwhelmingly lost her congressional seat in deep red Wyoming two years ago after colluding with Democrats to impeach Trump over the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Voters elected Harriet Hageman, a prominent attorney in the state, by more than 37 points in 2022 despite the incumbent congresswoman’s strategy of courting Democrats to save her campaign.
Cheney, however, was exiled from the Republican Party long before voters removed her from office for running deep state campaigns to demand an aggressive interventionist foreign policy and foil another Trump presidency. In Congress, Cheney never met a war she didn’t like, including the lawfare campaign waged against political dissidents.
Months after Cheney corralled a few Republicans to join her in the 2021 impeachment vote against Trump, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi selected her to help run the Democrats’ Soviet-style inquisition known as the Select Committee on Jan. 6.
