So Liz Cheney was ousted from her House GOP leadership post today for daring to speak out against Donald Trump after the January 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.
Moments after being removed from the No. 3 spot, Cheney told reporters that she will continue to “do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.”
And moments after that, Madison Cawthorn took to Twitter to mock her. The 25-year-old Nazi enthusiastic misquoted the lyrics from the song “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” that is frequently sung at sporting events.
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Liz Cheney

And now, the responses…

This guy doesn’t have a legislative staff because he wanted to bulk up on PR staff… and this is the material they come up with.

I can see why a childish troll who completely fabricated his biography would feel threatened by a woman who refuses to go along with a lie.

Is this the boy who lied about his friend leaving him for dead after a car crash, even his parents came out and said that statement was untrue

The fact that a sitting member of Congress would tweet this and think it’s a good idea tells you everything you need to know about today’s Republican party.

Don't worry you'll be voted out soon enough and we'll sing this song for you. I bookmarked this tweet so I don't forget. Good day, idiot! https://t.co/wkCDPPkp1D

You can’t even see how Liz Cheney just outplayed you all.
If your judgement was any worse you’d be a young woman who agrees to a date with Madison Cawthorn. https://t.co/g36umTXl8G

It’s really very concerning how afraid they are of facts.
JustMuscles1
Mad “cow thorn in my side” is a twit!
rockland2u
SSSHHHHHHHHH!! Madison, the adults are talking, maybe you should go out, and practice your bullying on the playground, definitely needs work.

Karl Rove called Cheney’s ouster a “pyrrhic victory”. That’s sugarcoating the mess the Republicans find themselves in, but I admit that any thing that validates Trump or hints of his reemergence makes me queasy. These nutcases with power – a second time around – would be truly dangerous (see January 6, 2021).
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
One rino down, romney is next
Fahd
Liz Cheney a rino – lol. Check her voting record – (voting to impeach the orange insurrectionist/traitor/conman wasn’t about being Republican, it was just the right thing to do.)
barryaksarben
LIz is NOT a RINO she is a republican. ANyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot and obviously seriously infected with the Trump virus. Trumps so called party is definately NOT the republican party. To be a republican you must have a party platform something Trumpers did away with since the ONLY thing they care about is an old nasty con man who has his hands in their pants
BoomerMyles
I’d like to see Qawthorn rolled down a steep flight of stairs.
barryaksarben
Preferably the ones in “The Joker”
Harley
I’m sure Betty Davis could give him a hand.
davybaby
Okay, I hate Cawthorn at least as much as anyone does, but he does have one thing right: It’s two “hey”s, not three. Listen to the song or look up the lyrics. Please change the headline and don’t go along with the trolls claiming he doesn’t “hey” enough.
Heywood Jablowme
When I look up the lyrics I see it both ways, depending on the site. Sports audiences always seem to spontaneously agree it’s something like “hey, hey-ay.”
GJ
I’m glad Liz Cheney FINALLY drew a line against Trump. But, she helped create this Frankenstein and supported him all the way until the insurrection. She deserves what she gets from her Republican “friends”. She’s one of them, through and through.
miller2900
…….it’s easy to initially feel sorry for ole Liz until you remember how she got to where she is to begin with…. along with her voting record. I also am reminded of who her father is and the old saying “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”. When you wallow in sewage as part of your career, you’re not going to come out smelling like a rose.
Celtic
I continue to believe this little piss bucket is queer. North Carolina has shown her true colors as a racist, pre-adolescent state. What a piece of white trash!

Why is Queerty talking and showing airtime for Madison? Serisously this needs to stop.

matt gaytz gets it, i bet. i wonder if they both wear their buttplugs to work?
ChrisGMN
This kid is an absolute dipshit. But the people who elected him are even worse. Do we seriously have this level of sophomoric behavior in Congress?
BaltoSteve
Now if she would just draft a resolution enforcing section 3 of the 14th amendment. She is sure to get plenty of Democrats to vote Yay! (In case anyone is wondering, it says anyone who invites, takes part of an insurrection, offers comfort to or aids an insurrectionist is ineligible to hold ANY political office in the US of A. Only needs a simple Majority in both houses to take effect, but requires a 2/3’s vote in each house to reverse.).

when is he going to wheel away?

I can only hope Trump passes away before 2024. But then I hoped the same thing for Dick Cheney.

Madison is mad at the world. After his spinal injury he can’t get it up anymore! That is why he is mean!
