Snopes has determined that a viral story claiming former U. S. Representative Liz Cheney is divorcing because of an alleged affair with Rep. Jamie Raskin is false. The rumor originated from a satirical Facebook post by the account “America’s Last Line of Defense,” which identifies itself as a troll page. The post was shared on X without its original context, leading some users to believe it was credible. Snopes found no public divorce documents or reputable news coverage to support the claim, and searches of major search engines yielded no evidence of a divorce filing. The debunking highlights the importance of verifying sources before sharing sensational claims on social media.
