DOGE was throwing the Democrats into a tizzy this week after Elon Musk’s team turned its attention to USAID and started uncovering a pile of waste and bad things.

Dems have gotten so out of hand in response that even former Democrat representative Tim Ryan from Ohio called out Chuck Schumer and how they were responding. Even a CNN panel laughed their heads off at how inept the protest from the Democrats was.

In the whirlwind of all that, Mike Benz, the Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and a former State Department official, connected the dots to another thing that USAID was associated with — former Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney. He described her as being “spawned” out of USAID because she had previously worked for the agency earlier in her career.
Elon Musk responded, “Interesting.”
That’s when Liz Cheney got triggered and responded to Musk. Her response was bizarre.
Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen. https://t.co/lYpGhmVJnT

I’m not sure how this was responsive to the tweet, no one was talking about the Cold War, much less the Soviet Union. But doesn’t it figure that she’d jump into the middle of the scandal on the wrong side?
She didn’t even tag Elon with the proper name for his account — so much for any accuracy on her part. People on X had fun mocking her over that.

A lot of folks on X also mentioned the pardon she got from Joe Biden, but she didn’t respond when they asked her about that.
She acted like Musk didn’t understand our history and the times we “stood for freedom” and attacked his citizenship with the “you may be unfamiliar” with all that since he wasn’t yet a citizen. Hey, Liz, nice job attacking immigrants who become citizens; how vile are you?

In the words of Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), “Not cool.”
“I was a citizen before you were”

Musk put himself on the line buying Twitter, which he then renamed to X, probably overpaying for it but knowing that would make him a target of the Democrats. Then he really waved a red flag at the bull when he went all in to back Donald Trump, yet he did it anyway because he thought it was so important for freedom. He agreed to do DOGE to try to make America work better. He’s faced all kinds of lies and smears. That’s courage, something Cheney probably doesn’t understand.
Elon responded to Benz, reducing Cheney’s response to “Damn right I was spawned out of USAID.”
“No kidding,” he concluded. That explains so much.
