Killer endorsement. House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney has earned the support of convicted felon turned Twitter pundit OJ Simpson, amid the fight for her political life. Cheney (R-Wy.), the No.3 Republican in the House, earned the Juice’s respect because she “stands up for truth.” Simpson offered his kind words via video posted to Twitter Monday, noting that at first, “I gotta admit, I was not a fan of Liz Cheney.” “Don’t get me wrong, I’m 50-50 on her politics, but I didn’t like her. And then I just realized recently, the reason I didn’t like her had to do with her father, probably my least favorite politician of my adult life, former Vice President Dick Cheney,” he continued. “Then I saw a show the other day and I saw a quote by Voltaire and it said that patriotism was the enemy of mankind,” Simpson then said, noting the quote incorrectly. The actual quote from the French writer reads, “It is lamentable that to be a good patriot, one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.” Simpson went on to say that while thinking about the quote, he “somehow started thinking about the Republican Party.” “It’s seems that big truth and honesty, seems to be the enemy of many of these Republican politicians,” he continued, “And Liz Cheney stands up for the truth, that’s got her a lot of heat.” “She may lose her position in the party, she may even lose her career as a politician, but that is something to be admired.
