On 25 Jan 2022, Trump Mentally Disabled <fdsan@gmail.com> posted some news:ssqbp9$m259$4@news.freedyn.de:

Liz Cheney should never ever be in another political or government
job.

Former Representative Liz Cheney didn't have the warmest welcome when she traveled to Colorado College to give a commencement address to her alma
mater on Sunday.

Cheney, who was ousted from her Wyoming seat in August after a tumultuous
few years in Congress, has lost a lot of support from the Republican Party
for openly criticizing former President Donald Trump after the U.S.
Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. She was removed from her position as the third-ranking Republican within the House of Representatives after voting
to impeach the former president for his alleged involvement in the insurrection. Cheney also served as one of only two Republicans on the
House select committee that investigated the riot, with former
Representative Adam Kinzinger being the panel's second GOP member.

On Sunday, some students at the private liberal arts college seemed eager
to express their distaste for Cheney by booing her. Some of the graduates
also turned their chairs away so their backs were facing the former congresswoman as she delivered the commencement address. Although she
received a negative response by some, the Daily Mail reported that many students and their parents applauded throughout her remarks.

Newsweek reached out to Cheney's political action committee by email for comment.

Meanwhile on Twitter, photos showed one graduate with an inscribed
graduation cap that read: "Why listen to a racist, imperialist,
transphobic, war monger?? Your hate is loud." Many social media users
believed the student's message was a swipe at Cheney and the Republican
Party. However, Trump supporters felt the graduates were booing and
turning their backs on Cheney because they were supportive of the former president instead.

"Liz Cheney gave the commencement address at the Colorado college she
graduated from and half the graduates turned their chairs to show her
their backs!" Twitter user @Daytobehappy tweeted, who claims to be "ultra
MAGA" in her Twitter bio.

Other people within the MAGA community also felt the negative reaction was because of Trump supporters in the crowd. Most MAGA members denounced
Cheney after Trump called her a "bitter, horrible human being" when she
was purged from the House of Representatives in 2021.

"She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country. She is a talking point for Democrats, whether that means the
Border, the gas lines, inflation, or destroying our economy. She is a
warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle
East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our Great Military, the
worst decision in our Country's history...," Trump said in a statement in
May 2021.

According to the Daily Mail, Cheney spoke poorly of Trump and the
Republican Party during her speech to the graduates, specifically
regarding the 2020 election and the insurrection, but didn't expound on
Trump's 2024 presidential bid. She also avoided addressing her own future
in politics, which has been a question ever since she was ousted by Trump- endorsed Harriet Hageman last year.

"Returning from sister's Colorado College graduation where most seniors
turned their backs in protest on commencement speaker Liz Cheney. MAGA sentiment now reaches deep into liberal arts campuses," Twitter user
@jawillick tweeted on Sunday.

However, some people respected Cheney for turning her back on the
Republican Party.

"Liz Cheney calls out Trump & DeSantis. 'Any candidate who says he will
pardon Jan 6th defendants isn't qualified to be president.' And during
speech at Colorado College, Cheney said Republicans wanted her to lie, say
2020 election was stolen. But Cheney put country over party!" Twitter user @AlexButterfly01 tweeted.

For months, people have questioned if Cheney will throw her hat into the
ring for the 2024 presidential election in an effort to block Trump in his
path to reelection, but the former congresswoman has yet to officially
announce any future political plans.

Meanwhile, Trump remains the GOP frontrunner in polling for the 2024
election. A recent Harvard/Harris poll conducted from May 17 to 18 shows
Trump has a 42-point lead over his closest contender, which is Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis. The poll surveyed 2,004 registered voters.
