After Donald Trump re-posted a meme accusing Liz Cheney of 'treason' and calling for 'televised military tribunals,' Cheney fired back on X.



Former Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney criticized former President Donald Trump after he shared an image accusing her of treason and calling for "televised military tribunals."

Trump 're-truthed' the meme on his social media site Truth Social, which shows Cheney sitting in a chair onstage and addressing an unseen audience.

The image featured the following caption:

"Elizabeth Lynne Cheney is guilty of treason. Retruth if you want televised military tribunals."

Trump's reasons for sharing the image are pretty clear.

Cheney angered her own party and was ousted from her leadership position in the House of Representatives after she pushed back against Trump's falsehoods about the integrity of the 2020 election. She even served as Vice Chair of the House Select Committee on January 6th, which later resulted in her losing her primary to MAGA extremist Harriet Hageman, whom Trump endorsed.

Notably, Trump issued a statement more than three months after President Joe Biden took office calling Biden's victory "the big lie."

Cheney responded shortly afterward with a statement of her own affirming the election "was not stolen," adding anyone who says it was is "turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system."

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy long denied the effort to remove Cheney from her position as the House's third-ranking Republican was in any way related to her vote to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection against Congress.

Trump's post soon caught Cheney's attention—who hit back with the following message:

"Donald - This is the type of thing that demonstrates yet again that you are not a stable adult—and are not fit for office."

You can see her post below.

Many concurred.

Cheney has continued to sound the alarm, stressing that Trump poses a significant threat to the republic.

In 2023, she criticized Republicans who supported Trump's call for the "termination" of the United States Constitution following the “Twitter files” leak of a series of messages between the social media platform's leadership team in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.

The "Twitter files" leak has sparked debates among pundits, media ethicists, and lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle as a sign of recklessness at Twitter, which was acquired by billionaire Elon Musk in October 2022.

Trump suggested the contents of the leak warranted either redoing the election entirely or a coup d'etat in which he would be installed as president, even though he was president in 2020, not Joe Biden. If there was any governmental pressuring of Twitter it would have been by his administration.
