Cheney Warns of Trump Loyalists' Threats Against Media
- Liz Cheney expresses concern about threats by potential Trump cabinet members like Kash Patel to use government power to punish media critics
- Patel said on a podcast he would "come after" media people who "lied" about Trump and the 2020 election
- Axios reports Patel, Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon would likely be part of a second Trump cabinet
- Cheney says Trump would give "fringe" and "irresponsible" people like Patel "supreme and ultimate power"
- Cheney argues Patel and others around Trump have "no fitness" for appointed positions but would still get authority from Trump
