Bernie Sanders Reminds Liz Cheney of Iraq War Lies After Daughter of Bush VP Attacks So-Called 'Fraud of Socialism'

From the article:

After Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)—daughter of the notorious warmonger former Vice President Dick Cheney—attacked the so-called "fraud of socialism" in a "Trumpism-inflected" speech on the U.S. House floor on Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) clapped back with a reference to what has been called her father's "biggest lie."
"Really? I wasn't aware that it was 'socialism' that lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and got us into a horrific war that we should never have started," Sanders tweeted Friday, a clear reference to Dick Cheney's hand in misleading the American public ahead of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq that launched a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people—including, by some estimates, more than 200,000 civilians.

Another lying Cheney with nothing productive to say. Like the Bush crime family, and the Trump crime family, the Cheney crime family infests and poisons US politics.

Billions every year for the greater glory of Halliburton and Dick Cheney's deferred compensation. Sorry about all the dead military personnel and the dead civilians, but Dick gots to get paid.

...eventually. Careful Dick... if you take too long to put yourself in the ground, your progeny may step up and do it for you.

A war that will cost trillions of US tax dollars. And the Afghani and Iraqi losses are never even considered.

All to protect Big Oil.
