A furious former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) Wednesday slammed House Republicans for "blindly" following former President Donald Trump after he spread a debunked conspiracy theory she warned could provoke violence.

Cheney took to X Wednesday afternoon to condemn Trump for spreading the conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden had planned to assassinate him — a claim repeatedly debunked by political experts and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials.

"Donald Trump is unstable and dangerous," Cheney wrote. "He knows this is a lie that could again provoke violence from those who blindly follow him."

Cheney's next comment was directed at House Republicans — who the same day moved to strike from the record a Democrat's summary of the many criminal charges facing the former president.

"You know Trump is unfit," Cheney wrote. "When will you put aside your cowardice and stand up for what you know is right?"........................

1. Nikki Haley needs to speak out

as well. It's a matter of decency.

8. "It's a matter of decency"

……which disqualifies her because she’s a shameless opportunist and a POS.

Trump projecting again, I have no doubt he’d love one of his wacko flying monkeys in MAGAtland to try something violent. Trump is so evil and despicable and it makes me sick to see so many people not only following him but lining up to kiss his ass and humiliate themselves.

4. Respect for Liz Cheney on this!

[panfluteman]

9. Donald Trump Saying that Biden Wants to Assassinate Him Is Tantamount to Telling One of His Violent Goons

To go out and assassinate Biden.

And Liz Cheney is right. Her courage, valor and patriotism cut across party lines and unite us as a nation.

11. They won't say anything.

They want to keep their jobs. Speaking out means getting primaried and voted out like Cheney and others.

[Justice matters.]

15. Which is proof of their cowardice.

Just a few had the courage (which is not difficult to do) to say that's it and not running again.

The rest of them (most of whom do know better...) are too chicken to do it.

They want more money and the power to tell others what to do.

12. Then why was warrant served when Orange Pantload not at home?

21. Now you're adding facts. You know those don't exist in The Republican Reality

13. Kick

14. The GOP can't face Trump's Alternative Reality.

People would ask . . . so admit he is on a different planet; why not cut loose from the Apricot Colored Hell-beast?

Obvious answer - the GOP has no one else, the GOP would just shrivel up and die.
(I live in hope.)

The GOP has spent decades attracting the wrong people, and it shows.

[PSPS]

16. They all want to be part of trump's "unified reich."

Including Haley, who has said she will vote for trump

20. Haley just boarded the Titanic

and is well on her way to History's Dustbin.

[Raven123]

17. Well said.

Not a Cheney supporter, but at least there is a red line for her, and TFG crossed it.

[FakeNoose]

18. Liz Cheney is like the little boy in the story "The Emperor's New Clothes"

"The Emperor has nothing on!"

[bluestarone]

22. I'm thinking when it's closer to election she WILL add much more

She KNOW how bad TFG will be!!
