Liz Cheney Fires Back at Christian Bale for Calling Dad ‘Satan’ by Bringing Up Assault Allegation
Liz Cheney did not take kindly to the words Christian Bale used to describe her father during his Best Actor acceptance speech for playing Dick Cheney in Vice at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night.
In addition to calling the former vice president a “charisma-free asshole,” Bale also thanked “Satan” for providing the inspiration to channel Cheney in director Adam McKay’s divisive biopic.
“Satan probably inspired him to do this, too,” the Republican congresswoman from Wyoming tweeted shortly after Bale collected his award. She included a link to an article about the actor’s 2008 arrest for allegedly “assaulting” his mother and sister. Left out of Cheney’s tweet, however, was some important context.
