Many conservatives have long derided former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney as a "RINO," an acronym which stands for "Republicans In Name Only."

Those allegations were vindicated this week when she lashed out in an angry rant against former President Donald Trump and Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance.

Cheney calls Trump and Vance "misogynistic pigs"

According to The New Republic, Cheney's remarks came as she spoke at an event in Texas this past Friday hosted by Atlantic writer Mark Leibovich.

Harris at one point asked the former congresswoman how Vice President Kamala Harris should approach her up coming debate with Trump, Cheney said she should "show the American people" who Trump is.

When Harris asked Cheney to elaborate on who she believes Trump to be, the former Republican replied, "This is my diplomatic way of saying it: They're misogynistic pigs. I think that will become clear."

Cheney and her father endorse Harris

"Look at what J.D. Vance says on almost a daily basis about women; that guy's got a real women problem," Cheney continued.

"I don’t know what it is, and I don’t want to psychoanalyze him, and there’s a lot of eyeliner jokes to be made in there," she added.

The New Republic noted how Cheney's words came days after she publicly endorsed Harris while slamming Trump as a "danger" to the country.

What's more, Cheney also revealed on Friday that Harris will receive a vote in November from her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney.

"In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," the former vice president said in a statement.

Trump: "Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO"

"He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again," the elder Cheney maintained.

He concluded by saying, "As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

The Hill reported that Trump responded in a post on Truth Social, writing, "Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races!"
