uglier when cheney breathed new life into a 2015 tweet from trump, himself, calling paul who was then his republican presidential rival, a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain. cheney piled on, tweeting, "no truer words were ever spoken." adding, "hi, rand paul, i know the 2016 race was painful for you since you were such a big loser then and now. with a dismal 4.5% in iowa. no surprise since your motto seems to be terrorists first, america second." paul swiped back, tweeting, "hey, liz cheney, i feel like you just might be mad still about when candidate trump shredded your dad's failed foreign policy and endless wars." just a few minutes later cheney again, "weeird, i don't see you on stage here, rand paul. oh, right, my bad, you had already lost." she added " #weirdrand."
