CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 7, 2024
FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN LIZ CHENEY IS CAMPAIGNING FOR KAMALA HARRIS IN THE SWING STATE OF WISCONSIN. IT’S MORE ANTI-TRUMP THAN PRO-HARRIS. CONSIDER, THOUGH, WHAT CHENEY HAS SAID ABOUT HARRIS IN THE PAST.
EVEN AFTER THE JANUARY 6, 2021 CAPITOL RIOT, CHENEY CALLED HARRIS A “RADICAL LIBERAL” WHO “SOUNDS LIKE KARL MARX.”
SHE ALSO OPPOSED HARRIS WHEN HARRIS SAID WE SHOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER CONVICTED FELONS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE, SOMETHING BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTS.
WHEN JOE BIDEN PICKED HER TO BE HIS RUNNING MATE, HERE’S HOW CHENEY REACTED: “KAMALA HARRIS IS A RADICAL LIBERAL WHO WOULD RAISE TAXES, TAKE AWAY GUNS AND HEALTH INSURANCE, AND EXPLODE THE SIZE AND POWER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SHE WANTS TO RECREATE AMERICA IN THE IMAGE OF SEATTLE AND PORTLAND. WE WON’T GIVE HER THAT CHANCE.”
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WITH CONVICTIONS, RIGHT? NOT IN WASHINGTON WHERE THE ONLY POLITICIANS WITH CONVICTIONS ARE IN OR ON THEIR WAY TO PRISON.
LIZ CHENEY IS ENTITLED TO SUPPORT WHOMEVER SHE WISHES, BUT SUCH A RADICAL SHIFT RAISES A LOT OF QUESTIONS. SHE REMINDS ME OF THE OLD GROUCHO MARX LINE: “I HAVE PRINCIPLES. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM, I HAVE OTHERS.” I’M CAL THOMAS.
