Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in a Thursday X post that former President Trump “threatens to destroy our republic.”
“Please take a few minutes today to read David McCullough’s speech, ‘America’s Glorious Cause.’ For 248 years, our freedom has survived. Now it is our responsibility to protect it. We must defeat the former president who is trying to destroy our republic,” said Cheney, a vocal critic of Trump. Said.
“You must not fail.”
Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted last Sunday to impeach President Trump following the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, and served on the committee investigating the incident. went This comes after Trump reposted a meme suggesting the Wyoming Republican had committed “treason.”
“Donald, this is the kind of thing that once again shows you are not a stable adult and unfit for public office,” she said in a post to X at the time.
Cheney’s post came in response to a MeidasTouch post that shared a screenshot of a meme reposted on Truth Social that suggested the former president should be prosecuted in a televised military tribunal.
Cheney’s PAC launched a subtle critique of the former president in early June with an ad centered on D-Day.
“America deserves a president as good and strong as our country, a man of character who is driven by a noble purpose and respects the sacrifice of our soldiers,” Cheney said in the ad.
“This is not a man consumed by malice, vengeance or self-pity,” continued Cheney, who lost in the primary to a Trump-backed opponent.
In response to Cheney’s latest post, Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chang said, “She has decided not to seek treatment for Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“She is living a miserable life befitting a loser of the highest order,” Chang added in an emailed statement to The Hill.
