Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) isn’t leaving Congress without a fight.
The congresswoman, who lost her primary bid for reelection this month, tweeted at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), describing him as someone who will “say anything, anytime” on Tuesday. Cheney also called Cruz a “chameleon,” saying, “He thinks he’s so smart no one can see through him.”

Cruz responded to Cheney by tweeting a GIF, a short-video format, depicting a scene from the TV show Mad Men that was captioned, “I don’t think about you at all.”
The tweet from Cheney followed a video released by a liberal activist showing the senator saying he would be in favor of a “complete housecleaning” of the FBI. Cruz later responded to the reporter’s tweet by defending his comments about the FBI, which has come under fire from Republicans over recent whistleblower complaints and the raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort as part of a documents investigation.
Earlier this month, Cheney lost the Republican primary for Wyoming’s at-large House seat to Harriet Hageman, who was endorsed by Trump. Cheney’s involvement in the Jan. 6 House committee and constant criticism of Trump fueled a rift between her and other members of the GOP.

Cheney hinted at a future presidential run during her concession speech, which took aim at Trump’s rhetoric and his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, noting that Abraham Lincoln lost races before becoming president.
