Rivera is referring to Representative Liz Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming, who made headlines as one of the first House Republicans and the most senior ranking member of her party to support impeachment proceedings against the President (via CNN).
Rivera then followed up Tuesday’s message with another tweet on Wednesday, this time saying, “#DonaldTrump should be impeached. He should know history is judging him, whether or not he is convicted and removed from office. He should also apologize to the families of those who lost their lives. His actions were inexcusable and undeniable. This time, he did it.”

As reported by HuffPost, Rivera said on the show, “I just want you to know that as [Trump’s] friend — even if he may not be speaking to me right now because of my position on the election being over — but I think, I insist, that we have to recognize the role he played, the 45th president, in defeating a pandemic that has been so devastating to America.”
Rivera is quoted as far back as 2016, regarding Trump’s comments about Latinx immigrants and his aim to deport millions, as saying, “There is no amount of personal history, there is no amount of charisma that can sugarcoat that inhumanity (via The Kansas City Star).”
Whether or not this is truly the breaking point for Trump and Rivera’s friendship, only time will tell.
