Liz Cheney tells Republican voters to secretly cast their ballots for Kamala Harris

Former Rep. Liz Cheney said Monday that millions of Republicans need to look both ways, not “say a word” and secretly vote for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

“I think that we are facing a choice in this election. It's not about party, it's about right and wrong and I certainly have many Republicans who will say to me, ‘I can't be public.’ They do worry about a whole range of things including violence, but they'll do the right thing and I would just remind people, if you're at all concerned: you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody and there will be millions of Republicans who do that on Nov. 5.”

Cheney made the comments in Royal Oak, MI, outside of Detroit, while campaigning for Harris in the battleground state. She joined the vice president for three events that day. Royal Oak was the second event in which Harris attempted to use Cheney, widely derided as a RINO by other Republicans, as her means of communicating with GOP voters who might be uncertain about former President Donald Trump being the Republican presidential candidate, PBS News reported.

During the first event, in Malvern, PA, Harris said that Trump “has been using the power of the presidency to demean and to divide us” and “people are exhausted with that.”

“People around the world are watching,” Harris said. “And sometimes I do fret a bit about whether we as Americans truly understand how important we are to the world.”

Cheney is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has also endorsed Harris. She marginalized herself from Republicans when she accepted an offer from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to participate in and then become the vice-chairwoman of the J6 Select Committee that led what has been called a highly partisan investigation into the Capitol riot and protests on Jan. 6, 2021. After losing her congressional primary, Cheney moved back to private life and started a job at the University of Virginia to teach at the Center of Politics.
