JD Vance set off certain elements of the Republican Party on Thursday with a blistering critique of Liz Cheney. As RedState reported, Cheney recently endorsed Kamala Harris, citing Donald Trump as a danger to the country.
The former congresswoman has long been out of the good graces of most Republicans following her joining of hands with Nancy Pelosi for the January 6th Committee. That committee was later exposed as having suppressed and manipulated evidence to present a one-sided, highly politicized narrative. That included not sharing testimony corroborating Trump’s claim that he asked for the National Guard to be deployed.
Vance lit into Cheney following the endorsement, going after her over her foreign policy.
VANCE: Well, maybe the best thing, not the very best thing, but a very good thing I can say about the next presidency of Donald Trump is that he’s going to make sure people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded. Because this is a person whose entire career has been about sending other peoples’ children off to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow we were going to turn Afghanistan, a country that doesn’t even have running water in a lot of places, into a thriving liberal democracy and for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children.
Liz Cheney, you know what, I think it’s the best thing in the world that she’s supporting Kamala Harris. You are right, blessed are the peacemakers. Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners. They get rich when America’s sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of winning wars, and they get rich when America gets weaker in the world. We want American strength, American security, and most importantly, peace.
