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?"........................

which disqualifies her because shes a shameless opportunist and a POS.
Trump projecting again, I have no doubt hed 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.

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

(50,138 posts)They want to keep their jobs. Speaking out means getting primaried and voted out like Cheney and others.
Justice matters.
(7,007 posts)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.

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.
