Donald Trump on Friday ranted about Dick Cheney after the former Republican vice president threw his support behind Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris campaign.

Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races! Trump, the GOP nominee, wrote on his Truth Social platform.

His post came on the same day that Cheneys daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) who lost her 2022 primary race in one of the biggest defeats for a House incumbent in decades revealed that her father would be voting for Harris, the current vice president, in the fall.

Soon after her announcement, Dick Cheney released a statement confirming that hes backing Harris and warning that Trump can never be trusted with power again, citing his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Cheney, who served in George W. Bushs presidential administration, previously endorsed Trumps 2016 campaign but has since become a harsh critic of the reality star turned politician.

In his Truth Social post, Trump railed against Cheneys camp for not obtaining a pardon for I. Lewis Scooter Libby, Cheneys former vice presidential chief of staff who in 2007 was convicted on felony charges of perjury and obstruction of justice related to a CIA leak scandal.

They couldnt get Scooter Libby, who did so much for them (but was so unfairly treated!), PARDONED. I did it! wrote Trump, who pardoned Libby in 2018. (Bush, who did not pardon Libby, has said that his own inaction made his VP angry. )

Trump added about Cheney: Hes the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris. I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III!

He went on to criticize Liz Cheney for her work on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Like he has before, Trump pushed false claims about the committee and who was responsible for security at the Capitol on the day of the deadly riot.

With Fridays endorsement of Harris, Dick Cheney joined a number of Republicans formerly on the GOP presidential ticket who have signaled that they wont be voting for Trump in November.
