Liz Cheney (R-WY) works for preserve her position within House GOP leadership, unlikely allies have rushed to her defense, including convicted\u00a0felon O.J. Simpson.<\/p>\n<p>In a video posted to Twitter on Monday Simpson, who was famously acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in the mid-1990s before being convicted of armed robbery in the early 2000s, said that Liz Cheney has earned his respect because she \u201cstands up for truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gotta admit, I was not a fan of Liz Cheney,\u201d he said. \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m 50-50 on her politics, but I didn\u2019t like her. And then I just realized recently, the reason I didn\u2019t like her had to do with her father, probably my least favorite politician of my adult life, former Vice President Dick Cheney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I saw a show the other day and I saw a quote by Voltaire and it said that patriotism was the enemy of mankind,\u201d Simpson said as he reflected upon how the quote made him to think about \u201cthe Republican Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Simpson misquoted the philosopher who said, \u201cIt is lamentable that to be a good patriot, one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to O.J., truth has become the \u201cenemy\u201d to many Republican politicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s seems that that big truth and honesty, seems to be the enemy of many of these Republican politicians,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd Liz Cheney stands up for the truth, that\u2019s got her a lot of heat. She may lose her position in the party, she may even lose her career as a politician, but that is something to be admired. Standing up for the truth, that\u2019s something I know her father wouldn\u2019t have done so, right now I\u2019m kind of a fan of Liz Cheney.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.2612612612613\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To dislike doesn\u2019t mean to disrespect. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nOK2SuY5hx\">pic.twitter.com\/nOK2SuY5hx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 O.J.

A jury acquitted Simpson in the infamous criminal trial, later memorialized for a new generation in the FX miniseries, \u201cThe People vs. O.J. Simpson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The football player-turned-actor was later found civilly liable in a 1997 \u201cwrongful death\u201d case. To this day, he still owes the Goldman and Brown families an estimated $70 million in civil damages.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, Simpson was found guilty of an armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas, Nevada. Simpson was sentenced to 30 years in prison with the possibility of parole in nine years. Eventually, the Nevada parole board ruled in Simpson\u2019s favor, granting him early release.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson has since joined social media and posts frequent commentary on political and cultural subjects.<\/p>\n<p>As to Liz Cheney\u2019s future in the Republican Party, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has endorsed replacing her as the House Republican Conference Chair. A vote is expected to happen later this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kevin-mccarthy-endorses-a-replacement-for-liz-cheney-in-house-leadership-with-vote-scheduled-this-week\">Kevin McCarthy Endorses A Replacement For Liz Cheney In House Leadership With Vote Scheduled This\u00a0Week<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
