Cheney fires back at Trump 'treason' meme: 'Not fit for office'

Source: The Hill

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) hit back at former President Trump for reposting a meme that suggested Cheney committed “treason.”

“Donald — This is the type of thing that demonstrates yet again that you are not a stable adult— and are not fit for office,” she wrote on social platform X.

Cheney was responding to a post from MeidasTouch, which shared a screenshot of Trump reposting a meme on his Truth Social media platform. The meme suggested that Cheney should be prosecuted in televised military tribunals, but it’s not clear for what.

The meme said, “Elizabeth Lynne Cheney is guilty of treason” and “Retruth if you want televised military tribunals.” Trump “retruthed” the meme, which was posted Sunday.

I'm sure she's doing a lot, but she's not very visible.

Also Meidas seemed invisible last weekend. Maybe it was just me, but I didn't see many posts after the debate. Maybe they were strategizing.

Doesn't matter what Trump's reasoning would be, just that he is President and when in office can (ab)use powers of the office at will.

She is not in the military.

Trump is going to go wild and out of control.

Power and money are like drugs to Trump.
The SC just gave him a tremendous amount of power.

He will be outer of control for sure.

As Americans, if Trump gets into the White House again - and decides to take out his political enemies as official acts?

I’m curious… and thinking….and asking…

Many of the Repukes don't even want him back there.

Every sane person in America understands that it would be a disaster to re-elect Chump.

Our job is to KEEP CALM and GET OUT THE VOTE.

Biden has kept this campaign close to his group and that is a mistake. He has to openly invite Cheney into the fold. He has to make a better push for Haley voters. This very close team concept is not good if saving democracy is the goal.

in my mind that he and his "new" Republicans would do that, AND FAR WORSE. He has been keeping a list of those he will punish for being against him...........
