Former Rep. Liz Cheney took to Twitter to criticize President Donald Trump, stating that his actions are contrary to the values upheld by Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States. Cheney accused Trump of aligning the U.S. with adversaries of liberty, citing his relationship with Putin, stance on Ukraine, and dissemination of false historical information.
Cheney, who was among the House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the Capitol riot in January 2021, has been a vocal opponent of the former president. She warned that history will judge those who support Trump harshly, particularly individuals who claim to be Reagan Republicans while turning a blind eye to current events.
Trump's recent comments about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Truth Social drew criticism from Cheney and former Vice President Mike Pence. Trump referred to Zelenskyy as a dictator without elections and suggested that Ukraine was responsible for the conflict with Russia. Pence countered Trump's claims, emphasizing that Russia initiated the invasion of Ukraine, resulting in significant loss of life.
The U.S. has provided substantial aid to Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia, which began with a Russian invasion in 2022. Trump's remarks regarding the situation in Ukraine have sparked debate and condemnation from political figures like Cheney and Pence, highlighting the divergent perspectives on the crisis.
