JD Vance DESTROYS Liz Cheney After Kamala Endorsement
One day after former Congresswoman Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris for President, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) annihilated the anti-Trump Republican with a stinging rebuke.
Central to former President Donald Trump’s appeal is his promise to “drain the swamp” of “uniparty” lawmakers who stay in power by collaborating on liberal, big government initiatives and spending. That critique has grown louder since Cheney and her former colleague Adam Kinzinger both endorsed Harris following her nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Like Kingzinger, who appeared on stage at the DNC, Cheney stated during a visit to North Carolina that she cares more about the Constitution than Republicans controlling the White House.
“I think it is crucially important for people to recognize, not only is what I just said about the danger that Trump poses something that should prevent people from voting for him, but I don’t believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states,” Cheney said in remarks captured by Revolver. “And 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.”
Shortly after her endorsement, Cheney ran headfirst into a bombastic buzzsaw laid out by Vance who said the daughter of neoconservative Vice President Dick Cheney would be “laughed out of the Oval Office” if she ever tried to visit with President Trump. “The next presidency of Donald Trump will make sure people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded. This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people’s children to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow we were going to turn Afghanistan into a thriving liberal democracy and for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of her children — Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make interesting partners. They get rich when America’s sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of wins wars. They get rich when America gets weaker in the world,” Vance said while speaking at a Turning Points USA conference.
Cheney and Kinzinger have been in the MAGA world’s crosshairs ever since they participated in a bipartisan select committee investigating the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol building, and even before. Since taking control of Congress, speakers including Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Mike Johnson (R-LA) have released additional footage they purport demonstrates that Cheney helped release selective evidence to cast blame on President Trump for violence that occurred that day. President Trump continues to be the focus of a criminal election interference case brought by Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith.
Cheney, 58, was first elected to Wyoming’s sole U.S. House seat in 2017. She was defenestrated in the Republican primary by Rep. Harriett Hageman (R-WY) 66.3% to 28.9%, a walloping that served as a reminder to anti-Trump Republicans still sitting in office today. Of the 10 GOP lawmakers who voted to impeach Trump following J6, just tw0 — Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) — remain in office.
