The MAGA minions who hang out on Twitter and still defend failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump are absolutely apoplectic about a tweet sent out by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) touting the endorsement of Oscar-winning actor Kevin Costner.
The Hill reports that Cheney tweeted out a photo of Costner wearing a T-shirt that makes clear who he supports:
ITK confirmed that Costner is the smiling figure featured in Cheney’s tweet, which included a message: “Real men put country over party.” Cheney’s office didn’t respond to questions from ITK about details of Costner’s backing.
Costner’s support comes at a critical time for Cheney, as a poll released just last month shows her trailing her main primary challenger, Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, by more than 20 points.
In case you’re wondering, Costner considers himself to be an independent, telling The Daily Beast in 2020:
“I vote for who I think has the best interests of the country and how we sit in the world.
“The Democratic Party doesn’t represent everything that I think, and neither does the Republican Party right now — at all. So, I find it too limiting.”
However, a quick look at some of the postings in response to Costner’s T-shirt backing Cheney makes it clear that the Trump faithful consider the actor to be a traitor, even though they know nothing about him.
