Liz Cheney, a prominent figure in American politics, has taken a surprising stance in the upcoming elections.
Despite her previous criticisms of Kamala Harris, Cheney has now pledged her support for the Democratic vice-presidential candidate.
This decision comes as a shock, given that Cheney had previously labeled Harris as a "commie" during the 2016 elections.
In a recent interview with Kristen Welker, as reported by RedState, Cheney expressed her support for Harris, stating, Absolutely. And I would say the extent to which she and I certainly have had our disagreements. But when you look at the whole range of issues, for example, with respect to support for Ukraine, with respect to the fact that she is saying that the United states has to lead in the world, Donald Trump is embracing tyrants." Cheney's endorsement of Harris seems to hinge on her belief that the Democratic candidate will take a stronger stance on international relations than President Trump.
When questioned about her previous harsh language towards Harris and Biden, Cheney admitted, "Look, I think certainly those were harsh things that I said. I think that they reflect absolutely that we had a policy disagreement on a series of issues. But I also think that's why it's so important for people to focus on the fact that I am supporting her now. Cheney's change of heart appears to be driven by a shift in her political priorities, rather than a change in Harris's policies.
Critics of Cheney's decision have accused her of suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), a term used to describe an irrational dislike of President Trump. Some argue that Cheney's endorsement of Harris is driven more by her opposition to Trump than by any genuine support for Harris's policies. This sentiment is echoed by those who believe that Cheney's father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also suffers from TDS.
The phenomenon of TDS is not limited to the Cheneys. Mark Cuban, the former owner of an NBA team, has also been accused of falling victim to TDS. Critics argue that his opposition to Trump is irrational and driven by personal animosity rather than policy disagreements.
In a recent appearance on Fox News, Harris faced tough questioning and criticism. Despite this, Cuban praised her performance, stating, "The beautiful thing about the @BretBaier interview is that @KamalaHarris understood and responded to each question. She used examples of policies. She gave real world context. When Brett went hard after her. She didnt call him names. She didnt quit the interview." This praise was met with skepticism from some viewers, who accused Cuban of being blinded by his dislike of Trump.
As the election approaches, the political landscape remains fraught with tension. Critics of Trump, including those accused of suffering from TDS, continue to voice their opposition to his presidency. Meanwhile, supporters of Trump remain steadfast in their belief that he is the best choice for America's future. As the nation awaits the results of the election, one thing is certain: the political divide in America shows no signs of narrowing.
