WASHINGTON, DC: Former representative from Wyoming, Liz Cheney, publicly criticized Donald Trump on Sunday, June 30, and provided evidence for why the former president is "not fit for office", according to Raw Story.

Cheney made her remarks in response to a report that Trump had posted a photo declaring her "guilty of treason", and suggesting that she ought to face charges in "televised military tribunals".

The reposted image said, "Elizabeth Lynne Cheney is guilty of treason. Retruth if you want televised military tribunals."

Notably, on his own social media platform, Truth Social, Trump 'ReTruthed' the image, which prompted Cheney to comment on the post.

In her reply, Cheney addressed Trump by his first name. She said, "Donald - this is the type of thing that demonstrates yet again that you are not a stable adult--and are not fit for office."



 

Notably, Cheney was one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection after a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Internet reacts as Liz Cheney fires back at Donald Trump

People on the internet stayed divided and shared mixed reactions as Cheney criticized Donald Trump, and provided evidence for why the former president is 'not fit for office'.

A user wrote on X, "You are guilty of more than one count, and I hope they do hold you accountable."

Another added, "She’s guilty of treason? Trump tried to overturn the election, he sat for three hours watching the mob destroy the capital, while his family and staff begged him to call them off, while the mob tried to hang his VP! Who’s guilty of treason?"



 



 

A person also stated, "Donald Trump is the greatest president we have seen in the last century."

Another remarked, "Liz Chaney is a hero. Donald Trump is a zero. Every accusation is a form of confession. Right back at him!"



 



 

A user also commented, "What happened to that “no one is above the law” line that you Trump haters kept repeating over and over? Why aren’t you keeping that same energy?"



 

An individual remarked, "Televised military tribunals sounds nice and dictator-ish, but the military only tries service members, not civilian politicians. Trump's revenge fantasies are getting more graphic."

Another said, "Cheney is appealing to decency. It's refreshing. It's also why Biden won in 2020. More please!"

Another comment read, "Poor Donnie. When they come to take him away (ha-ha) he won't be able to wear a strait jacket - he's too crooked."

One user said, "Liz you helped build this monster. And speaking of monsters, how's your father?"

Another added, "She's a Cheney. She was born not to be trusted."

A comment read, "Pretty goddamn bad when Liz Chaney has to explain why trump ain’t qualified."
