The biggest news story of last week was the first televised hearing of the House of Representatives' select committee on the January 6 insurrection and Trump's role in the attack.
And perhaps no testimony made quite such an impression as former Republican President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, both for her comments as well as her appearance--for one Twitter user anyway.
Specifically, it was the way Ivanka's face lined up with the chandelier in the House chamber that reminded Twitter user Warren Cass of a certain film and music icon--none other than Cher herself, in one of her iconic Bob Mackie headdresses.
And as you might guess Cher had some choice words on the matter.
It all began with Cass, a Canadian lawyer, tweeting about Ivanka's "chandelier diadem...giving blonde cher."
And he's not exactly wrong about what he saw.
That does kind of look a lot like one of the many Mackie-designed eye-catching ensembles Cher has worn over her astonishingly long career.
But being compared to the treasonous former President's treasonous daughter isn't exactly flattering, no matter how apt.
So Cher quickly set the matter straight in the way only she could, answering Cass's question about "[believing] in life after lies" thusly:
"I Don’t Even Believe In Life After Davanka..Trumpvana Gervinka,Donalla jrYtanka Jr-tanka"
She followed up with a tweet for the ages, reading Ms. Trump to filth.
Cher wrote:
"She Looks Like Me,With"
"Plastic Jewels,On Low Rent Crown,IN TACKY VERSION OF BOB’S (“THE DRESS” ) MACKIE…SINGING”STILL HAVENT FOUND WHAT IM LOOKING FOR” FLAT🤮"
Hello 911?
We'd like to report a murder.
For the uninitiated, "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is Cher's signature opening number in her live shows, an epic cover of the U2 tune that only she—and certainly not Ivanka—could ever pull off, much like these perfect drags of the former first daughter.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter had an absolute meltdown—in a good way—over Cher's take on Ivanka.
Ivanka Trump made major waves in her testimony when she admitted that there was no evidence for her father's repeated lies about election fraud in the 2020 race between him and Democratic President Joe Biden.
Trump has since lashed out at his daughter on social media following her testimony.
Getting publicly dragged by your father and Cher within days of each other? And you thought you had a rough weekend!
