Former Rep. Liz Cheney made headlines during her appearance on CNN's 'State of the Union' where she criticized former President Donald Trump, calling him 'unstable,' 'depraved,' and 'cruel.' Cheney also expressed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 election.
Cheney highlighted her concerns about Trump's behavior, stating that he lacks a conscience and has brought violence into politics in an unprecedented manner. She also mentioned that former Trump administration figures, such as John Kelly, have spoken out against Trump, acknowledging his erratic and chaotic nature.
Furthermore, Cheney, who identifies as pro-life, raised issues regarding the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court. She criticized certain states for implementing laws that restrict women from accessing life-saving care, leading to uncertainty among physicians about providing necessary medical treatment.
Cheney emphasized the importance of women's reproductive rights and stated that pro-life and pro-choice women are uniting behind Harris to ensure that they have access to essential healthcare services without facing legal barriers.
Despite her pro-life stance, Cheney explained that her decision to support Harris is based on the current reality following the Roe v. Wade ruling. She was among the House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, which ultimately led to her removal from her leadership position.
Cheney's vocal criticism of Trump has not gone unnoticed, as Trump has retaliated by labeling her as 'Muslim-hating warmonger Liz Cheney' and 'Crazed Warhawk Liz Cheney.' Despite facing backlash from Trump and his supporters, Cheney remains steadfast in her opposition to his leadership and policies.
