Cheney, a former Republican Congresswoman from Wyoming and a vocal critic of Donald Trump following the Capitol riot, accompanied Harris during her recent visit to Royal Oak, Michigan. Cheney aimed to attract moderate Republicans to support Harris, as reported by Fox News. However, many in Michigan&#8217;s large Muslim community felt that this collaboration undermined Harris&#8217;s statements supporting Palestinians and appeared insincere. Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib expressed surprise at Harris bringing someone whose family name is associated with war crimes in the Middle East. He noted that it was disheartening for Arab Americans and suggested it could signal more conflict if Harris were elected. Ghalib criticized the move as insulting and counterproductive for her campaign. Similarly, Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi found it disappointing to have Cheney involved, stating there is no peace within her family legacy. The Council on American-Islamic Relations also rejected Cheney&#8217;s association with their community, labeling her an advocate of torture and anti-Muslim sentiment. The American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force condemned the partnership as an affront to those who opposed past policies linked to the Bush-Cheney administration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2359516,"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\/10\/Harris-and-Cheney.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[33002,23234,32438,40143,32504],"class_list":["post-2359515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-battleground-states","tag-campaigning","tag-kamala-harris","tag-liz-cheney","tag-political-strategy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harris-and-Cheney.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2359515","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=2359515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2359515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2359516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2359515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2359515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2359515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
