U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, appeared on Monday to troll Arizona MAGA Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake after she suffered an embarrassing defeat in her race for governor.
In a tweet on Monday, Cheney quoted a tweet from Lake from late last month that included a letter that mockingly thanked the congresswomen for her “anti-endorsement.” Cheney had weighed in on the race by urging voters to cast a ballot against her fellow Republican.
“You’re welcome, @KariLake,” Cheney said in her tweet Monday.
In her letter to Cheney, Lake said donations to her campaign had skyrocketed and her website crashed. Lake also noted Cheney’s loss in her own election.
“Thank you again for the huge boost to our campaign! Enjoy your forced retirement from politics,” Lake said in her letter. “I know America will rest easier knowing that one more warmonger is out of office.”
Cheney’s tweet came just after Arizona counties reported its latest round of ballots and after several networks called the close race for Democrat Katie Hobbs.
You’re welcome, @KariLake. https://t.co/5jVFIprwxS
