Former RINO Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s prior comments about Kamala Harris have resurfaced after she endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
Cheney, the eldest daughter of a man best known for accidentally shooting someone in a hunting accident, announced her support for Harris at an event in North Carolina.
“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she told attendees at Duke University.
Despite a long-standing detest for the former president, Cheney has not traditionally expressed fond feelings for his Democratic rival either. Minutes after her announcement, the Trump campaign shared a clip from 2020 in which Cheney described Harris as “to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren” and a “radical liberal”.
Meanwhile on social media, Cheney wrote on what was then-Twitter on August 11, 2020. “Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns and health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal government. She wants to recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle. We won’t give her the chance.”
Many on social media noted Cheney’s humiliating primary defeat to a Trump-backed challenger in 2022 may have been a reason for her leftward rhetorical switch.
Others noted a correlation between Cheney’s decision and globalism.
