Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has been brutalizing neoconservative Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) throughout the day over her family’s legacy of death and destruction throughout the globe in a series of savage tweets.
Cheney is a leading proponent of continuing the war in Afghanistan, which already stands as the longest war in U.S. history. After the recent dismissal of former national security advisor John Bolton, neocons like Cheney are increasingly worried that the Trump administration may be going in the direction of peace and non-intervention.
She attacked Paul on Wednesday for suggesting that the President should put American lives first instead of fighting endless wars hatched by her globalist father.
I stand with @realDonaldTrump and our men and women in uniform who will never surrender to terrorists, unlike @RandPaul, who seems to have forgotten that today is 9/11. https://t.co/P0Ok2w48d5

This caused Paul to unleash on Dick’s daughter, eviscerating the disreputable warmonger for pushing her failed foreign policy agenda in a Republican Party that soundly rejected it with the election of President Trump.
Hi @Liz_Cheney, President @realDonaldTrump hears all your NeverTrump warmongering. We all see your pro-Bolton blather. I’m just grateful for a president who, unlike you, supports stopping these endless wars.

Hey @Liz_Cheney I feel like you might just be mad still about when Candidate Trump shredded your Dad’s failed foreign policy and endless wars. https://t.co/pTZBivqWaq

After Cheney hit Paul back with childish insults, the Kentucky Senator made it clear that the Cheney family were “Never Trumpers” because they hated the President’s “America First” mandate.
This #ThrowbackThurday let’s take a moment and remember some of the instances where both Cheneys came out against @RealDonaldTrump and his America First policies. #WarmongerCheneys #NeverTrumpCheneys

.@Liz_Cheney didn’t agree with @RealDonaldTrump on having allies pay for American protection. Why should the US taxpayer always be stuck with the bill? She blasted the president! #WarmongerCheneys #NeverTrumpCheneys https://t.co/JZQnYIz4py

Let’s not forget her father Dick Cheney who got us into so many of these wars in the Middle East. Just last year he got up in front of Vice President Mike Pence and wrongfully confronted him on why this administration resembles Obama’s. #WarmongerCheneys https://t.co/MvnXH0YSxm

While they might exist, I sure haven’t heard of a war that Liz _Cheney didn’t want us to get involved in. When @realdonaldtrump wanted to end the war in Syria – you guessed it, #NeverTrumper Liz Cheney came out against the president. https://t.co/CdiExhi44L

When @realdonaldTrump declared his desire to get out of Afghanistan, after 18 years of losing blood and treasure, and countless sacrifices. Well, you know who was against it. @Liz_Cheney #WarmongerCheneys #NeverTrumpCheneys https://t.co/ccJBqQ0YHz

President Trump has made comments in recent days regarding the dismissal of Bolton that indicates he is far closer to seeing eye-to-eye with Paul than with Cheney.
“So, John is somebody that I actually got along with very well. He made some very big mistakes,” Trump said while addressing reporters at the White House on Wednesday.
“As soon as he mentioned that, the Libyan model, what a disaster. Take a look at what happened to Gadhafi,” Trump elaborated about Bolton’s incompetence. “I don’t blame Kim Jong Un for what he said after that. And he wanted nothing to do with John Bolton. And that’s not a question of being tough. That’s a question of being not smart to say something like that.”
“John wasn’t in line with what we were doing and actually in some cases he thought it was too tough what we were doing. Mr. Tough Guy, you know, you had to go into Iraq. Going into Iraq was something he felt very strongly about,” Trump added.
Whether Cheney will admit it or not, Trump is desecrating her father’s legacy in spectacular fashion. By being willing to meet with the likes of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and the Taliban, Trump is doing the opposite of what the Bush administration would have done in terms of foreign policy.
The neocons will ultimately be remembered only for their spectacular failures as they take their rightful place among the ash heap of history.
