Republican turncoat, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who is hitting the campaign trail with Vice President Kamala Harris thinks millions of conservative voters plan to rebuke former President Donald Trump on Election Day.
According to Cheney, who has joined Harris to campaign in key “blue wall” battleground states, a significant number of Republicans will silently cast their votes for the Democratic nominee at the polls.
At a campaign event held in Oakland County, Michigan, Cheney spoke openly about encouraging Republicans to back a Democrat this time around.
She said that many Republicans have privately told her they can’t be vocal about their support due to concerns over potential repercussions, but they intend to vote according to their “conscience.”
“I certainly have many Republicans who will say to me “I can’t be public.” They do worry about a whole range of things regarding violence, but they’ll do the right thing,” the former member of Congress told the crowd.
“If you’re at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and never have to say a word to anybody, and there will be millions of Republicans who do that in November,” she encouraged.
Her comments were made during an event moderated by “concerned citizen” and journalist Maria Shriver, who refused to allow audience members ask questions that weren’t “predetermined.”
“Hopefully I’ll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so,” she told attendees.
Despite refusing to answer their queries, Shriver said she wanted the event to “be like a kitchen table, like just think that we’re sitting around at the kitchen table and we’re jamming about all kinds of stuff.”
She introduced Cheney as an “incredible courageous public servant,” who was willing to cross party lines to back her preferred candidate.
“I grew up in a political family and people of both parties used to get along really well,” Shriver said about belonging to the Kennedy clan. “Now you’re getting to see it in real life because you haven’t seen it in decades.”
During the event, Harris noted that she’s observed many Republicans approach Cheney and “thank her” for betraying their party.
The Vice President praised Cheney’s “extraordinary courage” in speaking out about January 6 events despite the “undercurrent that is violent in terms of the language and the tenor.”
“I’ve seen Republicans come up to her, and from my viewpoint, she’s not alone,” Harris stated.
This election marks Cheney’s first time voting for a Democrat, with her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also lending his support to Harris in the 2024 race.
Cheney stressed the importance of this election, stating, “It’s not about party lines; it’s about choosing between right and wrong.”
She also denied being afraid of publicly supporting Harris, despite being a career Republican.
“It wasn’t scary at all in terms of making this decision because when I look at the nature of the threat that Donald Trump poses,” Cheney commented.
Cheney stated she could have simply focused on opposing Trump, as some Republicans have suggested, but she chose to proudly endorse Harris instead.
“Donald Trump is doing everything he can to try and get people to forget about what he did, what he did on January 6, and when you think about that level of instability, the level of erratic decision making, the misogyny, that’s not someone you can entrust with the power of the Oval Office,” she added.
At a separate event, moderator Charlie Sykes, a conservative commentator, questioned Cheney about Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) remarks questioning why Republicans like Cheney and her father would endorse Harris.
“Don’t listen to Lindsey Graham, number one. It’s good life advice actually,” she flippantly replied.
Cheney and Harris took aim at Trump throughout the event, pointing out how some former Trump officials have cautioned against him.
They cited former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark Milley, who reportedly referred to Trump as “a total fascist.”
“If you think about, how you conduct your life outside of politics… those are the kinds of people that you trust, those are the kinds of people you would work with,” Cheney stated.
“If you wouldn’t hire somebody to babysit your kids, then you shouldn’t make that guy the president of the United States.”
Harris warned about Trump’s susceptibility to flattery, citing his relationships with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Vladimir Putin would be sitting in Kyiv if Donald Trump were president,” Harris asserted.
Cheney is full of BS. Liz Cheney and her father are marxists to the core, as is Harris and Walz. Her father is also a war monger. How can she even think that Putin would be sitting in Kiev when President Trump was harder on Putin than any other president. There were no new wars under President Trump. There are two new wars under Biden along with a completely botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Liberals please wake up. A Harris/Walz administration will be a continuation of the current administration made 10X worse.
Exactly
Liz Cheney is no longer a public service speaker, a congresswoman, or a Republican. Just like her father, she is a liar, a traitor, and an unwanted piece of work. She needs to stop her BS and start rocking the chair. Millions of Americans don’t listen to her and don’t give a dam what she has to say. Americans will vote for Trump no matter what others think or say. Bye-bye B***h.
I’ve never seen so much HOPIUM!
Liz had better hope she’s right (she hasn’t been yet), because a Trump Administration WILL prosecute her!
Liz and her old man were never conservatives. They were always Rinos. Hell both Bush administrations acted like demonRATS. T
Talk about delusional…Liz is certainly a sterling example!!
Cheney is a vile, despicable woman who stood for nothing for decades while republicans supported her and her Dick daddy. 🤮
