A good old fashioned social media spat broke out between Mark Levin of Fox News, and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) over an article in The Federalist that accused the J6 Select Committee of suppressing “exonerating evidence” regarding Donald Trump.

The “exclusive” article came out Friday with the heading, “Liz Cheney, January 6 Committee Suppressed Exonerating Evidence Of Trump’s Push For National Guard,” by editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway.

The article’s subhead read, “Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had ‘no evidence’ to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had asked for 10,000 National Guard troops.”

Hemingway cited “a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist,” and former Trump official Kash Patel as her reliable sources.

At 7:10 p.m. on Saturday, Levin posted on X (formerly Twitter), calling Cheney “sleazy” and demanding she be “compelled to testify” about hiding information that proved former President Trump did call out the national guard on Jan. 6, 2021.

Levin wrote:

Sleazy Liz Cheney needs to receive some of the Stalinist medicine she introduced into the body politick against scores of patriotic Americans — that is, she needs to be compelled to testify under oath about, among other things, what knowledge she may have about: possible witness tampering, censorship of exculpatory information and testimony, the destruction of committee evidence and data, etc. This is very, very important.

Cheney didn’t take the insult or the accusation lying down, posting:

Hi Mark: I see you’re still spreading BS. You & the bozo who wrote this might want to actually read the 1/6 report (eg, Appendix 2, 741-2, 127-8, 587-92), SecDef Miller’s transcript (Trump never ordered 10k troops), Judge Wallace’s finding (Kash Patel is “not a credible witness”) https://t.co/WdOxaEbVks

Levin responded, “I wrote it, moron” — evidently thinking that Cheney was referring to the post and not The Federalist article. He then let loose with the insults.

I wrote it, moron. You’re a pathetic disgrace and demagogue. And have exposed yourself for all time. Funny how you avoid public debates with your detractors, including me. Coward. You should consider professional help. https://t.co/gw5gkOl4HZ

Cheney replied:

Good morning, Mark – I was actually referring to the bozo who wrote the article you are peddling. If I had been referring to you, I would have used the term “angry bozo.” Have a nice Sunday. https://t.co/GpcEwm47J9

Back in 2022, Levin compared Cheney to infamous traitors Jefferson Davis and Benedict Arnold for her work on the committee.

Cheney received intense backlash from staunch Republicans over her investigation into the events of Jan. 6. She voted to impeach Trump for instigating the Capitol riot and ended up losing her seat in Congress.
