‘I also want to thank your father, Vice President Dick Cheney, for his support, and what he has done to serve our country,’ Harris said, thanking his daughter Liz Cheney for delivering a speech for Harris.
Harris' embrace of former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney appeared to be hard to swallow for some Democrats, but the praise of her father appeared to be a step too far for many Democrats and anti-war journalists.
‘Dick Cheney not only committed war crimes and helped kill 100s of 1000s of Iraqis but he also caused the deaths of 1000s of American soldiers,’ wrote journalist Mehdi Hasan.
‘They should send Liz Cheney to Michigan to campaign for Kamala in Dearborn and Detroit,’ wrote journalist Glenn Greenwald. ‘She can explain why she and her dad still support Guantanamo, CIA black sites, torture, rendition, drones and the war in Iraq.’
‘Yeah imagine how much worse off we would be without the service of Dick Cheney,’ wrote right-leaning podcaster Saagar Enjeti sarcastically.
President Joe Biden also praised Dick Cheney on Friday after he watched Cheney and Harris campaign together.
‘I know her dad. … We argue like hell but I always admired his courage and honesty,’ Biden said, and added, ‘She and her father have character. Character dammit is what we need in this country!’
But many left-leaning Americans felt differently.
'We'd better win if we have to put up with this s***,' wrote TV writer Ben Siemon.
'If you were to pick a single most evil man in the 21st century it would be hard to beat Dick Cheney. People can do what they want but I’ll never vote for this,' wrote podcaster Sean Padraig McCarthy
