Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Tuesday night that Donald Trump was working against American interests after the former president offered praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin during a Tuesday interview on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.”
“Former President Trump’s adulation of Putin today – including calling him a ‘genius’ – aids our enemies,” Cheney tweeted. “Trump’s interests don’t seem to align with the interests of the United States of America.”
In the interview, Trump knocked down Biden and said that under his presidency Putin never would have recognized two breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine and moved troops into the Donbas region.
But Trump also said Putin’s strategy was “genius” and “pretty savvy” and appeared to praise his military might.

Putin is Putin, not Hitler, Stalin,Ted Bundy. But all of these questions are silly because the answer to them is the same for Putin as it is for countless other horrible actors, living and dead. And “hate” is misleading too. I don’t “hate” Putin. I see him for what he is. https://t.co/eIyLJFhfXH

As still “technically” a member of house Republicans, let me, with all my might, condemn this damn awful tweet during this crisis. You can criticize policy but this is insane and feeds into Putins narrative. But hey, retweets amirite? https://t.co/1b22DGMENl
