Vice President Kamala Harris' senior campaign spokesperson, Ian Sams, has faced scrutiny over his past criticisms of Liz Cheney, a former GOP Wyoming congresswoman and current Harris campaign surrogate. Sams had previously referred to Cheney as a 'warlord' and blamed her for leading the country into the Iraq War.
In 2019, Sams criticized Cheney on Twitter, accusing her of playing a role in leading the country into Iraq from a State Department Middle East post that he claimed was created for her by her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. Additionally, in 2013, Sams made disparaging remarks about Cheney, calling her 'crazy' and referring to her as an 'aspiring warlord' in social media posts.
