Cheney, a Republican\u2062 and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been a\u2062 vocal\u200d opponent\u2062 of former President Donald Trump since her tenure in office. Her endorsement of Harris appears strategic, aiming to position the Democratic campaign as\u200b a \u200dunifying force against Trump&#8217;s\u200d divisive leadership.<\/p>\n<p>However, a resurfaced tweet from 2020 reveals Cheney&#8217;s earlier beliefs about\u200b Harris, labeling \u2064her \u200ba &#8220;radical liberal&#8221; and a &#8220;communist,&#8221; predicting \u200dshe would impose heavy tax\u2062 increases\u200b and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-wont-youngkin-commit-to-veto-bill-forcing-health-workers-into-unconscious-bias-dei-lectures\/\" title=\"Why is Youngkin hesitant to reject bill mandating &#039;unconscious bias&#039; DEI lectures for health workers\">undermine individual freedoms<\/a>. Critics, including Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and commentator Collin \u200bRugg, have highlighted this change in Cheney&#8217;s stance,\u2062 questioning \u2063her credibility and motives.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Cheney&#8217;s reported change of\u200b heart, her endorsement comes amid ongoing skepticism regarding Harris&#8217;s effectiveness and performance in office. Critics argue\u2063 that her issues with Harris remain valid, emphasizing \u200cthat the vice president has not demonstrated any \u200bsignificant improvement\u200b since Cheney&#8217;s initial criticisms. Many view Cheney&#8217;s endorsement as a reflection \u2063of her strong opposition to Trump rather than a genuine shift in her political beliefs.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former Rep.

Cheney, a Republican and the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump throughout her political career. Although this endorsement may not hold significant relevance now, Cheney believed that supporting Harris would present a united front for Democrats while portraying Trump as a divisive figure lacking support from his own party.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her current alignment with Harris against Trump, an old tweet has resurfaced showing that she was not always supportive of the vice president. In August 2020, Cheney described Harris as a &#8220;radical liberal&#8221; who would increase taxes, restrict gun rights and health insurance, and expand federal government power. She expressed concern that Harris aimed to reshape America in line with the unrest seen in Portland and Seattle at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s shift from stating &#8220;We won\u2019t give her the chance&#8221; to endorsing and voting for Harris is notable. Four years later, many believe that Harris has lived up to Cheney&#8217;s earlier criticisms. This change in stance did not go unnoticed; Republican Representative Matt Gaetz pointed out this contradiction on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Investor Collin Rugg also highlighted how Cheney had previously labeled Harris as essentially communist but is now supporting her candidacy. The Daily Caller\u2019s Henry Rodgers remarked that Cheney owed an explanation to her followers regarding this endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>Another user humorously questioned whether she planned to delete her previous critical post about Harris following her endorsement. <\/p>\n<p>The argument could be made that Cheney simply changed her mind about Harris between 2020 and 2024; however, critics argue there\u2019s a significant issue: Kamala Harris remains fundamentally unchanged since then\u2014arguably worse due to three years in office demonstrating ineffectiveness in her role. If Chenery truly altered her views based on new evidence or performance from Harris, it raises questions about what other beliefs she might have reconsidered. Ultimately, some suggest that Chenery&#8217;s actions reflect an intense aversion to Trump rather than principled political beliefs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cheney-Harris.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40229,6733,32438,40143,5894],"class_list":["post-2337410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-congressional-updates","tag-controversy","tag-kamala-harris","tag-liz-cheney","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cheney-Harris.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
