Cheney's Endorsement of Harris Draws Flak from Trump

Fox Nation presenter Piers Morgan denounced the support of Vice President Harris by former Republican officials, including ex-Vice President Cheney, as "completely absurd."

Fox News host Piers Morgan fiercely criticized the recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by more than 100 former Republican officials, including former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, ex-Representative Liz Cheney.

These officials released an open letter declaring their support for Harris in the face of what they perceive as the dangers posed by a potential second Trump presidency. They cited concerns over Trump's "chaotic and unethical behavior," disregard for the Constitution, and erratic diplomacy.

Reacting to the endorsement on "Fox & Friends," Morgan expressed outrage, labeling it a betrayal of Republican values. "It is utterly ridiculous that these former Republican officials would throw their support behind somebody who is so radically opposed to everything they have fought for," Morgan exclaimed.

The letter, signed primarily by officials who served in the Bush and Reagan administrations, argued that Harris is a champion of the rule of law, democracy, and constitutional principles. They also praised her commitment to national security and her pledge to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet.

In contrast, the letter painted Trump as a threat to the nation, susceptible to manipulation by authoritarian leaders, and detrimental to national security decision-making. They emphasized his "contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior."

In response to the endorsement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung dismissed the signatories as individuals responsible for "getting our country into endless foreign wars and profiting off of them." He highlighted Trump's record of not engaging the country in new conflicts.

The letter's condemnation of Trump's dealings with adversaries, such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, drew a sharp contrast with the position of Trump surrogate Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard praised Trump's "tough work" in engaging with these leaders, an approach she deems essential for successful diplomacy.

The Harris campaign has actively targeted Republican voters through various means, including paid advertising and grassroots initiatives. Campaign spokesperson Ian Sams expressed pride in the bipartisan support garnered by Harris.

The endorsement of Harris by former Republican officials is a significant development in the political landscape, drawing strong reactions from both sides of the aisle. As the 2024 presidential race approaches, the battle for Republican voters will likely intensify, with the Harris campaign seeking to capitalize on the vulnerabilities of the GOP in the face of a potential Trump candidacy.
