  • On Aug. 17, 2022, a screenshot of a tweet from U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., was tweeted by @DefiantLs, showing the words, Here’s a sound bite for you: Bring it. We often run across bogus social media posts that were created by fake tweet generators. However, a quick search showed that this was a real tweet from Cheney's official and verified account, @Liz_Cheney. On Sept. 9, 2021, Cheney responded on Twitter to an endorsement from former U.S. President Donald Trump for GOP primary challenger Harriet Hageman. In Trump's endorsement, he said that Cheney was the Democrats' number one provider of sound bites. Cheney replied, Here’s a sound bite for you: Bring it. Eleven months later, Cheney lost the Wyoming primary to Hageman in a landslide, as was reflected in the bottom half of the Twitter screenshot. The screenshot was also shared in the r/AskThe_Donald subreddit on Reddit. After the primary loss, The Associated Press reported that Cheney, who also served as one of the only Republicans on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection, was already looking ahead to a political future beyond Capitol Hill that could include a 2024 presidential run, potentially putting her on another collision course with Trump: In sum, yes, Cheney once tweeted to both Trump and Hageman to bring it, then lost her primary to the latter 11 months later.
