Never be so clever you forget to be kind...Never be so polite you forget your power. Never wield such power you forget to be polite," wrote Cheney.
Netizens, particularly MAGA fans, made fun of lawmaker Liz Cheney shortly after she tweeted her post about attending Swift's London show. An enraged MAGA fan posted, saying, "I hope you enjoyed yourself as you’re a traitor to this Country and when Trump wins and the 1/6 committee is investigated, you will be convicted for your blatant lies, deception and destruction of evidence. America deserves the truth, not your treasonous lies. Travel home safe."
