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