Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney sees common ground with former President Trump, who previously voted to impeach, and both oppose President Biden’s recent moves toward Israel.
Anti-Trump Republican lawmakers said Wednesday that withholding aid from America’s closest ally in the Middle East is “wrong and dangerous.” The comments came just hours after President Trump tweeted that Biden supports the terrorist organization Hamas and is “standing with the terrorists.”
“Withholding aid to Israel is wrong and dangerous. The United States must not abandon Israel, and doing so will mean a victory for Iran and all its terrorist allies,” she wrote.
Both Republicans reprimanded Biden after he promised to withhold weapons from Israel if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes ahead with an invasion of Rafah, Hamas’ last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. .
President Trump responds to judge who threatened to put him in jail with gag order: “Give me freedom or give me death.”
Cheney’s public criticism of Biden comes at the latest in her re-election battle with Trump, who has called Biden “weak” and said Biden’s foreign policy is “leading the world straight to World War III.” I woke up inside.
In his post, President Trump reminded Biden of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli border areas, which killed 1,200 people and was the deadliest terrorist attack in Israel’s history.

“The crooked Joe Biden just said, knowingly or not, that he would withhold weapons from Israel as it fights to eradicate Hamas terrorists in Gaza. They have killed thousands of innocent civilians, and if they have taken hostages, they are still holding Americans hostage.”They are still alive,” Trump wrote. “Yet, Crooked Joe stands on the side of terrorists, just as he has sided with extremist mobs occupying college campuses, because his donors are funding them and… Because there is.”
He added, “Biden is weak, corrupt, and leading the world headlong into World War III. Remember, this war in Israel, like the war in Ukraine, will be the same if… It would never have started if he had been in the White House. But soon, we will be back and demanding peace through force again!”
By removing Cheney, Trump expelled most pro-impeachment Republicans from the Republican Party.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was at one point an ally of Trump during his presidency and became chairman of the House Republican Conference.
Then, after Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election, she vehemently opposed him. She further angered Republicans when she appeared on a House special committee on Jan. 6 investigating the events surrounding the 2021 Capitol riot.
