Bush to headline fundraiser for Cheney after Trump backs foe

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Former President George W. Bush will headline a fundraiser next month for top Donald Trump critic Liz Cheney, turning her reelection race into a proxy war of sorts between the ex-presidents who represent two competing factions of the Republican Party. Cheney, a daughter of Bush’s two-term vice president, Dick Cheney, was the most prominent House Republican to vote to impeach Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Trump on Wednesday evening fired back in a statement that cast Bush as a “Republican in name only,” despite his lengthy leadership of the party, and labeled Cheney “warmongering” and “so bad for Wyoming.” Cheney’s campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday on the significance of the fundraiser. While Bush has generally kept a low profile since leaving office in 2009, he delivered a pointed speech earlier this month on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in which he warned of the country’s growing internal division and a “violence that gathers within.” “There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,” he said as he delivered the keynote address at the national memorial to the victims of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
