Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) called out Vice President JD Vance for “surrendering” to Vladimir Putin on Thursday amid peace negotiations over Ukraine.
On Thursday morning, Vance trashed historian Niall Ferguson for citing former President George H.W. Bush’s condemnation of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein following the invasion of Kuwait in 1990 while criticizing the Trump administration’s policy on Ukraine.
The vice president responded by calling Ferguson’s points “moralistic garbage” and part of the “rhetorical currency of the globalists.” Vance then claimed that the war would have never occurred under Trump and that Ukraine never had a “pathway to victory.”
Vance’s post invoked a reply from Cheney, a famous critic of Trump, who claimed he and the president were “abandoning the cause of freedom.”
She wrote, “Rarely has so much ignorance and ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know you and @realDonaldTrump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, and destroying the security of America and her allies, but you would do well, @JDVance, to spend some time actually studying history.”

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump referred to Volodymyr Zelensky as a “dictator” after the Ukraine president claimed that he was repeating Russian propaganda.
Cheney concluded, “Start here with Ronald Reagan: ‘Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”
