Vice President Kamala Harris rallied supporters on Thursday in the city of Ripon, Wisconsin, known as the birthplace of the Republican Party. Harris was joined on stage by Republican and former Wyoming Congressmember Liz Cheney, who has endorsed Harris for president.
Vice President Kamala Harris: “Liz Cheney really is a leader who puts country above party and above self, a true patriot. And it is my profound honor — my profound honor — to have your support.”
Harris also thanked the Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney — Liz Cheney’s father and one of the most influential architects of George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq — for his endorsement. Speaking to Harris’s supporters, Liz Cheney took aim at Donald Trump, calling him “petty,” “vindictive,” “cruel” and “depraved.” During her three terms in Congress, Cheney voted against an assault weapons ban, earned an “A” rating from the anti-abortion group Pro-Life America and expressed support for plans by Israel to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.
