Dick Cheney, a controversial figure from the neoconservative era, has thrown a surprising endorsement toward Vice President Kamala Harris. On Friday, the former Vice President, now 83 years old, made headlines with his strong remarks about Donald Trump. He labeled Trump as “the greatest threat to the American republic in history,” claiming that there has never been anyone like him in our nation’s 248-year history.
Cheney didn’t hold back. He accused Trump of attempting to “steal the last election using lies and violence” to maintain power after voters had rejected him. His message was clear: “He can never be trusted with power again.” In a call for unity above partisanship, Cheney expressed his intention to vote for Kamala Harris, emphasizing the duty of citizens to defend the Constitution.
A Surprising Celebration from Harris’ Campaign
You might think that Harris would want to keep her distance from such a polarizing figure. Surprisingly, her campaign chose to celebrate this endorsement. They touted it as an achievement rather than something controversial. The campaign’s eagerness raises questions—why are they proud of this?

Who Exactly Is Endorsing Harris?
Let’s take a moment to clarify which Dick we’re talking about here. This is indeed the same Dick Cheney who many on the left have likened to Satan or Hitler over the years due to his role in various controversial decisions during his time in office.

War criminal Dick Cheney, who lied about weapons of mass destruction, and is responsible for over a million civilian deaths, is voting for Kamala Harris.

Warmongering, draft-dodging, torture-approving, 83-year-old neocon endorses Kamala may not quite be the win you think. https://t.co/V23KZMtzwm

The Irony of Political Alliances
This brings us to an interesting point: Remember when Cheney was seen as public enemy number one by many Democrats? Now he’s aligning himself with a Democratic candidate! Who would you choose if faced with such an odd situation—Cheney or Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? It certainly highlights how political allegiances can shift dramatically.

Liz Cheney Joins Her Father’s Camp?
To add another layer of complexity, Liz Cheney has also endorsed Kamala Harris. This move seems especially ironic given her previous criticisms of Democrats just a few years ago. How does she reconcile these past remarks with her current support for Harris?

Trump Responds with His Signature Style
No surprise here—Donald Trump had something to say about all this drama. True to form, he took aim at both Cheneys while promoting himself as “the Peace President.” In a statement filled with his characteristic flair, he accused them of being warmongers and called out Liz for her involvement in what he termed “the Unselect Committee.” He claimed they destroyed crucial evidence and painted himself as the only one capable of preventing World War III.
This exchange between political figures raises eyebrows and sparks debate across party lines.
Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races! They couldn’t get Scooter Libby, who did so much for them (but was so unfairly treated!), PARDONED. I did it! He’s the King of Endless, Nonsensical…
