‘You Can’t Trust Ted Cruz’: Liz Cheney Shreds Texas Senator
Former congresswoman does sit-down with Democrat
Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney backed up her support for the Democrat running to unseat Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas) with an appearance with that opponent, Rep Colin Allred.
Cheney sat beside Allred for a joint media interview.
The one-time lawmaker from Wyoming recently announced that she will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for president, and at the same time, threw her support behind Allred’s bid to defeat Cruz.
Cheney lost her seat in Congress after serving as just one of two Republicans willing to work on the House select committee investigating the events surrounding the violent January 6, 2021, insurrection.
“You know, I feel that this race is such an important one. I have not endorsed in any other Senate race this time around. But I served with Colin. I know him. I know what kind of a congressman he’s been. I watched him,” Cheney said. “As you said, we were on opposite sides of issues and opposite sides of the aisle. Not every issue on opposite sides. But I also know Ted Cruz, you know, I’ve known him for over 20 years and I know that that he will say anything if it serves his own political purpose.
“And the nation is at a moment where we need public servants who are men and women of goodwill, who are men and women who will do the right thing. We need serious people in office and the choice for the people of Texas is just a very clear one,” she added. “And, you know, I think as we begin to look beyond the kind of politics that we have seen, particularly over the last three or four years, I think it’s really important that we have serious people in office.
“And so, when there’s a candidate who is as competent and somebody, the kind of character as Colin, I think it’s very important that we support them,” Cheney said.
