The GOP senator said that the former congresswoman was « selling out conservatism » as she campaigns for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Amid this year’s presidential election, Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, criticized former GOP Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney on Friday, stating that she is « selling out conservatism » by campaigning alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee.
This election cycle, Cheney has been hitting the campaign trail in support of the vice president in a push to win over GOP voters for the Democratic ticket. Cheney, who has endorsed Harris, has been a longtime vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.
During an interview appearance on Fox News on Friday, Graham, a Trump ally, told host Sean Hannity that the former congresswoman is « selling out conservatism » as she campaigns for Harris.
« As to Liz Cheney, she is selling out conservatism to stay relevant.she’s campaigning with Kamala Harris.So Liz Cheney, don’t listen to her, she’s not relevant in terms of conservatism, she no longer has a voice. » the senator said. « We’re gonna push through all this bull**** and I’m not gonna listen to anything she has to say—Liz Cheney—we are not garbage as Trump supporters.This is the election of a lifetime. Liz Cheney is campaigning for Democrats to take back the House.Don’t listen to a word she says. »
Graham’s « garbage » remark is seemingly in reference to a comment President Joe Biden made during his call on Tuesday with Voto Latino where he was heard saying, « The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters—his—his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.
