President Trump released a statement Wednesday criticizing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Rep. Liz Cheney, and former Vice President Mike Pence, and blamed them for the 2020 election steal. This from westernjournal.com.
“Warmonger Liz Cheney, who has virtually no support left in the Great State of Wyoming, continues to unknowingly and foolishly say that there was no Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election when in fact, the evidence, including no Legislative approvals as demanded by the U.S. Constitution, shows the exact opposite,” Trump said in a statement on his newly launched communications platform.
Cheney has repeatedly publicly pushed back against Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent or stolen.
“Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.”
The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.

She also voted to impeach Trump during House Democrats’ second impeachment effort.
As a result, the Wyoming Republican Party voted to censure her and asked Cheney to resign [from her position as House Republican Conference chair], NPR reported.
President Trump is also reportedly backing Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York to replace Cheney as the House Republican Conference chair, according to The Hill.
The President also attacked Pence for refusing to reject certifications of election results in states Trump narrowly lost, like Arizona and Georgia.
“Had Mike Pence referred the information on six states (only need two) back to State Legislatures…we would have had a far different Presidential result, and our Country would not be turning into a socialist nightmare!”
In Pence’s first public speech since leaving office, he spoke warmly of his time working with Trump and said it was a “privilege,” Forbes reported.
However, Pence has been absent from Trump’s list of Republican potential successors even though the former vice president has been viewed as a possible 2024 contender.
But we all know the phrase “possible…contender” is weak and gratuitous at best. Pence gave up all possibilities of any political future when he drew the short straw and stabbed our President in the back. Whether he was being blackmailed, his family being threatened with death or grave bodily harm, or he simply experienced a departure from reality, Pence violated his constitutional responsibility and will forever be remembered by conservatives as the Benedict Arnold of the 21st century.
Finally, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell will certainly never again be praised by President Trump. The two have been exchanging barbs at least since January 2021.
McConnell denounced Trump’s rhetoric after the incursion of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
President Trump responded by saying:
Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again.
And:
McConnell’s dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse.
Wednesday on his newly launched communications platform the president specifically stated the following about McConnell:
…and had gutless and clueless MINORITY Leader Mitch McConnell (he blew two seats in Georgia that should have never been lost) fought to expose all of the corruption that was presented at the time, with more found since, we would have had a far different Presidential result, and our Country would not be turning into a socialist nightmare!
Very strong words indeed for each of these three turncoats, however, pejoratives of the deepest disrespect are due each of them for their betrayal of the President, the nation, and the American people.
The President ended his statement by stating: “Never give up!” And it is his words that give encouragement to all deplorable conservative patriots.
What say you Def-Con News readers? American political history relates similar contentious exchanges throughout our two hundred thirty-five year nation’s existence. This time, however, President Trump is fighting the politics-as-usual forces and he has the backing of at least 85 million supporters. He’s also fighting to save America from the harms intended by the socialist democrat party. If he wins, we win. However, the alternative is unimaginable. God speed President Trump.
