Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, a member of the establishment elite, has dived into the deep end of the political pool by announcing her upcoming campaign appearance with none other than Vice President Kamala Harris. This unlikely duo will be cozying up in Ripon, Wisconsin—the historical birthplace of the Republican Party, believe it or not. The irony is rich enough to spread on toast, and one can only imagine what the founding fathers must be thinking as they roll over in their graves.
Cheney’s decision to share the stage with a figure she previously labeled a “radical liberal” could raise a few eyebrows among traditional conservatives. It essentially highlights the political circus that the Republican Party has become since the days of Donald Trump—who famously booted Cheney out of Congress by a whopping 40 points in a Wyoming primary. To add insult to injury, Trump called her a “warmonger” and an “establishment hack,” both of which certainly seem to stick. The spectacle of Cheney now embracing the very brand of politics she once railed against is a lesson in political contradictions, and it appears she’s on a crusade to prove that loyalty to the party isn’t nearly as important as opposition to Trump.
A reminder that if you want more war, vote for Harris.

Days after endorsing Kamala Harris, Cheney is taking the plunge to align herself with the current Vice President, citing the “danger” Trump poses as her reasoning. This perfectly encapsulates her newfound trajectory, where Trump becomes the ultimate bogeyman who drives her to align with the very leaders she once fought against. It’s puzzling that someone of her pedigree, with roots embedded at the highest levels of government thanks to her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, would now be hitching her wagon to a member of the party that stands in stark opposition to her own.
At the event, attendees can expect Harris to trot out her usual talking points, praising Cheney for supposedly placing her country before her party. It’s a story that writes itself: a “patriot” who is willing to ally with the very party that some argue is driving American values into the ground. Harris is expected to launch barbs at Trump over his controversial comments regarding the U.S. Constitution as if Democrats have a monopoly on constitutional integrity. The irony drips—when one considers the myriad of ways the left has tested the limits of constitutional interpretation, one has to wonder where Harris finds her moral high ground.
Cheney’s astonishing fall from grace didn’t stop at losing her position in the Republican House leadership; she has shamelessly become a symbol of the neocon establishment. After her political career fizzled out, she gracefully transitioned into academia, where she can channel all her wisdom into indoctrinating the next generation with liberal ideals. This rapid transformation—alongside her reported efforts to cozy up to former Speaker Paul Ryan—shows just how far she has strayed from the Republican platform that once made her a household name.
Cheney’s actions reveal a critical shift within the party, where allegiance to the establishment is now being measured against the willingness to align with Democrats to take down Trump. With this latest rendezvous, she illustrates the lengths to which some disgruntled members of the GOP will go to undermine their party. As they cozy up with radical leftists, one can’t help but wonder: where will it all lead?
