MAGA Supporters Mock Dick Cheney’s Death, Turn Their Attacks on Daughter Liz Cheney

Former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away Monday night surrounded by his family, marking the end of one of the most influential and divisive careers in modern American politics. But even before the news fully broke, pro-Trump factions online were already celebrating his death with taunts and vitriol aimed at his daughter, Liz Cheney.

Cheney’s family announced his passing in a Tuesday morning statement, saying he was “surrounded by his beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members.” For many Americans, his death symbolized the closing of a political chapter that spanned wars, controversy, and power. For parts of the MAGA movement, it was an excuse to cheer and to reopen old wounds with his daughter.

Liz Cheney became one of Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican critics following the 2020 election, accusing him of betraying the Constitution and enabling the January 6th insurrection. She famously appeared alongside her father in a 2022 campaign ad where Dick Cheney called Trump “a coward” and “the greatest threat to our republic” in U.S. history.

The ad made Liz Cheney a hero to Trump’s opponents but a pariah within her own party — a break that cost her her congressional seat. And now, in the wake of her father’s death, Trump loyalists are relishing the opportunity to attack her again.

Social media quickly filled with mockery and hateful posts. “Darth Cheney is done. Hell has a new resident,” one user wrote, tagging Liz directly. Another sneered, “Couldn’t take Liz with him, I guess.” Others dispensed with any pretense of civility, posting crude and misogynistic remarks one user even referring to her father as “evil” and “in Hell.”

The online reaction underscores how deep the fractures within the Republican Party have grown. Once hailed as a conservative titan who defined GOP foreign policy after 9/11, Cheney is now vilified by a movement that sees loyalty to Trump as the ultimate test of faith.

Even in death, Dick Cheney’s legacy remains divisive — not just for his record on war and national security, but for what his family’s feud with Trump represents: a Republican Party still at war with itself.
