Endorses primary challenger to Liz Cheney, calling her a "warmonger" and disloyal

Trump issued a written endorsement of Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman's primary challenge to Rep. Liz Cheney, one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach him after January 6. The statement called Cheney a "warmonger and disloyal Republican" and a "RINO," and gave Hageman his "Complete and Total Endorsement." News coverage tied the endorsement directly to Cheney's impeachment vote and her public rejection of Trump's stolen-election claims. Cheney responded publicly, telling Trump "Bring it."
