Former Rep. Liz Cheney has blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's call for the U.S. to have a “national divorce” to separate red and blue states and to “shrink the federal government.”
, R-Ga., for calling for the U.S. to have a “national divorce” to separate red and blue states and to “shrink the federal government.”
In a tweet responding for Greene, R-Ga., Cheney said the far-right lawmaker’s remarks were “unconstitutional."."You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress should advocate secession, Marjorie.”“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” Greene, R-Ga.,. “Everyone I talk to says this.
Greene, an ally of former President Donald Trump who supported the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack, previously suggested calling for a “national divorce” in October 2021. During her last term in Congress, Cheney faced backlash from fellow Republicans after she publicly condemned Trump over the Capitol attack. She served on the House committee that investigated the attack and has remained a vocal critic of the former president's false claims of widespread election fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
Greene’s latest demand is among a series of incendiary remarks that have drawn backlash. Greene was stripped of her committee assignments in the last Congress after comments that mused over the execution of Democratic lawmakers.
