After actor Kevin Costner threw his support behind Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney in the upcoming midterm election, Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert attacked him—then was immediately trolled for it.

Boebert accused Coster—the Academy Award-winning director of Dances with Wolves—of "slumming with RINOs."


RINOS, or Republicans In Name Only, is a pejorative applied to officials elected as members of the Republican Party whose positions don't align with everything GOP leadership does. In recent years, the term has been applied to any Republican who criticizes or disagrees with former Republican President Donald Trump.

Boebert tweeted:

"How did Kevin Costner go from Dancing with Wolves to slumming with RINOs?"

Her tweet prompted a response from habitual Twitter troll Three Year Letterman (@3YearLetterman), who purposely misled her, referring to her as a "Senator" and saying Costner was not in Dances with Wolves, but in Field Dreams.

He was in both.

Three Year Letterman assured Boebert she was thinking of Big Lebowski actor Jeff Bridges who was in neither of those films.

A visibly annoyed Boebert responded she is "not a Senator" and Costner "acted in and directed the dang thing."

Letterman replied demanding she refer to him as "Coach" and she not "ever question" him about movies, claiming to "own over 600 DVDs."

The exchange went viral and was applauded as an example of A+ trolling after Boebert took the bait.

Cheney, who has received enormous praise for her work overseeing the House Select Committee's investigation into the January 6 insurrection, later touted Costner's endorsement, saying that "Real men put country over party."

Cheney's opponent, Harriet Hageman, has received former President Trump's endorsement. Hageman has backed Trump's "Big Lie" that the 2020 general election was stolen.

Cheney angered her own party and was ousted from her leadership position in the House after she pushed back against Trump's falsehoods about the 2020 general election. Trump had issued a statement, more than three months after President Joe Biden took office, calling Biden's victory "the big lie."

Cheney responded shortly afterward with a statement of her own affirming that the election "was not stolen," adding that anyone who says it was is "turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has long denied that the successful effort to remove Cheney from her position as the House's third-ranking Republican is in any way related to her vote to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection against Congress.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
