Former Vice President Dick Cheney is apparently planning to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The news was first delivered by former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, then confirmed by the man himself.
The funniest thing about this is that some Democrats are celebrating this endorsement by Dick Cheney as if it was a good thing. They literally called this man a war criminal for years, but now cheer him as a member of their team.
NBC News reports:
Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he will vote for HarrisFormer Vice President Dick Cheney announced Friday that he will cast his ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris this fall, confirming news that was first made public by his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney, earlier in the day.Both Cheneys are Republicans, and the elder served under President George W. Bush. The younger Cheney, who endorsed Harris earlier this week, is one of former President Donald Trump’s most prominent conservative critics.”In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Dick Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris,” he added.Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said that the vice president was “proud” to have Cheney’s support.
Never-Trumpers on the right also celebrated this development. In the clip below, Nicolle Wallace, a former George W. Bush staffer who is now a popular MSNBC host, speaks to Tim Miller of the anti-Trump publication, The Bulwark.
These people seem to harbor some fantasy that if they can just get rid of Trump, they will be brought back in to resume control of the GOP. They’re wrong.
If anything, most voters on the right are just disgusted.
The always great Ace of Spades commented on this:
The betrayal is now almost complete. Everything we ever said about them — that this is a cadre of people who hate us so much but pander to us, completely insincerely, about the handful of issues we care about so they trick us into voting for them so they can pass endless tax cuts for themselves and fund endless foreign wars — is now proven.
When Ace says the betrayal is ‘almost’ complete, I think you know what he means.
Last word goes to Kurt Schlichter.
