Tulsi Gabbard: Cheneys’ endorsement, Harris response ‘sickened me’
The Hill ^ | 09/09/2024 | Miranda Nazzaro

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) slammed former Vice President Dick Cheney (R) and his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for endorsing Vice President Harris, arguing a vote for Harris is the same as voting for Dick Cheney and his foreign policy.

“I have a very simple message for my Democrat friends, my independent friends, those who may not be sure about who they’re voting for in this election, Dick Cheney has just made the choice very clear, a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades,” Gabbard said last Friday at an event in Colorado Springs, Colo. with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson.

Dick Cheney, who served under former President George W. Bush, was heavily criticized by Democrats during his White House tenure for his hawkish foreign policy stances and support of the invasion of Iraq.

Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 and endorsed former President Trump last month, took aim at not only the Cheneys’ statements backing Harris, but also the vice president, who said last week she was “honored” to receive their endorsements.

I wouldn’t have expected anything else from Cheney. She needs to keep her grift going of being the “anti-Trump Republican” on all the Sunday morning talk shows but they were losing interest. Being the anti-Trump Republican means you have to engage in an ever more sensational - to the point of hysterical - denouncements of Trump. The fact that she can get her bitter old daddy in on the act every once in a while is an added bonus for the MSM.

Miss Bananas 1965 was “honored” by their treason. That’s quite impressive. Maybe she can “honor” both of them with the RAT Medal of Treason.

If Trump gets elected I hope he unleashes Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Elon Musk and some others who have been targets of the Democrats and their weaponized administrative state.

Remarkably insightful response from Gabbard, whose maturity and clever instincts have surprised and impressed me.

Liz Cheney shares something with Mitt Romney the media inflating a small political history into national status of a major republican party leader.

Romney was a failed one term Governor who left office with 34% approval and no chance of reelection but to the media was a giant and was elevated to presidential candidate, Cheney is a smaller version of that, she was a failure as an office holder and rejected by the GOP voters in humiliation but here she is being elevated as practically a party peer of the GOP President running for his second term.

Dick Cheney has just endorsed Kamala Harris for President.

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Uni Party not only exists in fact, but that it has officially merged.

The parties are realigning.

The Cheneys are demonstrating that whatever grift or power they get from the Deep State is more important that America.

Tulsi & Kennedy are demonstrating the are willing to sacrifice their personal lives and careers to make America better.

Cheneys and their ilk remind me of…
“But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.” 1984

It’s not out of the question the Democrats will nominate Liz Cheney in 2028.

How is she different than Hillary? Other than abortion, which she will certainly do a turnabout on, she is a Hillary clone.

Wouldn’t it be ironic to see a Liz Cheney vs Tulsi Gabbard presidential race in 2028.

Indeed, and it also proves they are pure political whores, who will change their public world-view completely when their power and money is challenged in the slightest

IMO-—THE ENTIRE CHENEY FAMILY IS PROVING THAT MENTAL PROBLEMS CAN ALSO HAPPEN TO ELITES.

Had a ‘nice’ conversation on Facebook with a ‘tolerant’ Liberal friend about the Cheney endorsement of Kamala-Toe, and asked them if they remember railing against Cheney when he was Dubya’s Veep for his Haliburton ties and his warmongering attitude, and what it means for a person like that to endorse Harris.

All they could spit out was ‘Trump bad!’

Sounds like my friend whom I had lunch with on Saturday. He was truly giddy about it

Cheney is a fool to endorse Harris; but it’s a gross exaggeration to blame him for everything wrong in the Middle East. He was an ally of Israel. And the first Gulf War, which laid the foundation for the second, kept Saddam from establishing a new, oil-financed caliphate with no impediment to getting nuclear weapons.
