Donald Trump has it in for Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and he wants her gone.  However, he’s run into a snafu since Twitter has permanently banned him from posting.

Drop-kicking her from office has been a goal for Trump because he’s been angry ever since she spoke out in favor of his impeachment — and then voted in favor of doing this — but he’s having a tough time exerting influence over the GOP since he no longer can use the social media platform, Raw Story reports.

And the Daily Beast notes:

“Due to Twitter’s banning of the @realDonaldTrump account following the Capitol riot that Trump instigated, he has not been able to personally trash Cheney via his once widely-read tweets. He has written out insults and observations, several of them about Cheney, but with no ability to tweet them himself, he has resorted to suggesting put-downs for others to use or post to their own Twitter, according to a person with direct knowledge of this new habit.”

Trump has chided Cheney and called her “totally phony” for supporting him on foreign policy and other key issues but then speaking out against him for helping to incite the deadly Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol building, which led House Democrats to impeach him for an unprecedented second time before he left office.

Now he’s pushing Republicans not to let Cheney “get away with” supporting his impeachment. But GOPers are angrier about her statement — which Democrats repeatedly quoted during deliberations, even though she didn’t speak at the time — than they are about her vote to impeach.

“You’re given resources to protect members, and you did the opposite,” said one congressional aide. “That’s where the anger lies.”

Being the cheesy human being that he is, Trump has crowed that “Cheney has no friends” because apparently, she’s not on the Democrats’ list of favorite people. And allies of the former president are trying to have her removed as the third-ranking member of the GOP. Raw Story reports that Trump views this as a test of his post-presidency powers.

But a few Republicans are casting aspersions on these intentions.

“I don’t think any outside observers are taking us seriously as a government party moving forward,” one House Republican aide said. “We’re going to have a conversation about Marjorie Taylor Greene, and then vote to remove the top female leader of the party?”

In no way am I defending Trump’s behavior or that of his allies here, but I’m going to say Liz Cheney is not a nice person. In 2013 she told Politico that while she’s opposed to a constitutional amendment forbidding gay marriage and said that people shouldn’t be discriminated against on the basis of their sexual orientation, she believed that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Even though her sister Mary, is married to a woman.

“I love Mary very much, I love her family very much,” Cheney said in a Fox News interview. “This is just an issue on which we disagree.”

“I believe in the traditional definition of marriage,” she added.

I can’t help but think this must be hurtful to her sister, but if you’re wondering why I’m mentioning this, it’s for two reasons: Firstly, when someone does something that we know is the right thing to do, we tend to lionize them and put that person on a pedestal, even when they are sometimes awful. Seems to me our memories sometimes short when it comes to these things. But here’s the second point: If someone like Cheney calls out Trump for his epic awfulness, perhaps she has a really good point here?

Which means that perhaps Republicans should quit supporting their former boss? Just saying.
