Liz Cheney Lashes Out After Elon Musk Exposes Her USAID Ties — Says He Can’t Understand American History Because He’s South African

Liz Cheney is having a hard time of it lately.

The disgraced former Congresswoman, who wagered her entire political career on trying to defeat Donald Trump and lost spectacularly, lashed out at Elon Musk after he spoke out on her past links to USAID.

Musk, who is heading up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has recommended the gutting of the U.S. Agency for International Development and described it as a “criminal” organization involved in money laundering and wasting taxpayer dollars.

Posting on the X platform that he owns, Musk responded to a report by analyst Mike Benz that Liz Cheney had begun her political career at USAID.

”Interesting,” he commented.

Musk’s comment was picked up by Cheney, who used it as an opportunity to mock the fact that despite being a citizen, Musk was born and raised in South Africa.

“Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy,” she wrote.

“Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen.”

While Cheney is fast fading into political obscurity, she was spared the possibility of criminal prosecution over the array of crimes she committed while leading the persecution of January 6th protesters.

Hours before leaving office, Joe Biden issued Cheney a “pre-emptive pardon,” while doing the same for the likes of the seditious General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions,” Biden said in a statement at the time.

“Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.“
