Meghan McCain slammed Rep. Liz Cheney, R- Wyo., on Twitter Thursday after the congresswoman touted the success of various torture techniques and enhanced questioning programs as she responded to Sen. John McCain’s criticism of Gina Haspel, President Trump’s nominee for CIA director.

“The Enhanced Interrogation Program saved lives, prevented attacks, & produced intel that led to Osama bin Laden. The techniques were the same as those used on our own people in the SERE program,” Cheney tweeted at Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. “No one should slander the brave men & women who carried out this crucial program.”
