Former Representative Liz Cheney recently appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” where she criticized former President Donald Trump, labeling him as “unstable,” “depraved,” and “cruel.” Cheney, who is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, also mentioned that figures from the Trump administration, such as former White House chief of staff John Kelly, have been speaking out against Trump, claiming that they understand Trump’s lack of conscience and his erratic behavior.
During her appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Cheney reiterated her concerns about Trump, stating that he has introduced violence into politics in a new and concerning way. Despite her pro-life views, Cheney explained that her decision to support Harris is based on the current situation following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, where some states have implemented laws that restrict women from accessing necessary medical care.
Cheney, who was one of the House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the January 6 Capitol riot, has been vocal in her criticism of the former president. She was subsequently removed from her position as House Republican Conference Chair and served on the House Select Committee investigating the events of January 6. Despite her opposition to Trump, he has also been vocal in his criticism of Cheney, using derogatory terms to refer to her.
In her support for Harris, Cheney highlighted the importance of women from both pro-life and pro-choice backgrounds coming together to ensure that their rights and access to healthcare are protected. She emphasized the need to consider the reality on the ground and the impact of recent legislative changes on women’s healthcare.
The collaboration between Cheney and Harris in campaigning for the upcoming election has drawn attention, with both women pushing for a united front against Trump and his policies. Their joint efforts in battleground states aim to mobilize voters and emphasize the importance of voting based on conscience.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the partnership between Cheney and Harris symbolizes a shift towards bipartisan cooperation and a shared vision for the future of the country. Despite facing criticism and backlash, both women remain steadfast in their commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of all Americans.
