Former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney announced Friday he will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election.
Cheney declared former President Donald Trump to be a “threat to our republic” in a statement issued Friday. He also claimed that Trump “tried to steal” the 2020 election using deceit and emphasized the importance of putting country over partisan interests to defend the Constitution.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”

“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris,” he concluded.
Trump responded to Cheney’s endorsement of Harris by dismissing him as an “irrelevant RINO.”
“Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races! They couldn’t get Scooter Libby, who did so much for them (but was so unfairly treated!), PARDONED. I did it! He’s the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
As vice president under former President George W. Bush, Cheney was a pivotal figure in orchestrating the Iraq invasion and shaping the CIA’s interrogation strategies following the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, CBS News reported. The announcement comes on the heels of similar remarks by Liz Cheney.
“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Liz Cheney announced on Wednesday.
This Cheney should just keep his big mouth shut. He is such a hypocrite it makes you sick. He and his spoiled daughter have no say in election. What Harris and Biden has done to our country, I consider them both traitors. They get rewarded for their evil doings and so many people have died under their Administration. If Cheney was honest, he would stop being so jealous of Trump. He would help close our borders. How dare he flap his mouth when he has no knowledge of how Harris and Biden have destroyed our country. He turns his back on the American Citizens, and no way in hell do we care what he has to say. To Cheney, how is Halliburton doing?
Oh yes, the hated Chaney’s are still lurking around like slugs. No surprise here!
Why are these traitors allowed to stay on the Republican rolls. They should be forced out of the party!!!
Liz Cheney is not a conservative and neither is her rhino father!
These elite clowns, Bush et al, are an embarassment to the Republican party and conservatives. They are so above the fray and out of touch with what’s really going on it’s sad.
They don’t feel prices at the pump, have illegal migrants intruding on their exclusivity or taking their jobs, living in fear for themselves & family as the avaoid crime ridden streets, have to trade out grocery items so they can afford to feed their family etc. In fact, they don’t need to concern themselves should the Dems and the evil progressive cousins win the Presidency & Congress.
By not supporting the current Republican candidate because of past petty grievances could result in just that.
But, what do they care? It’s the rest of America that will suffer.
