Liz Cheney Agrees With Claim That Trump is a 'Fascist,' Warns Against Supporting Him

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney again warned against electing Donald Trump as president, agreeing with the claim that he is a "fascist" and making ominous warnings about a potential second term of his.

Speaking to NBC's Meet the Press, Cheney said Trump "believes he will be immune for anything he does once he's in office" and won't "respect the rulings of our courts."

"People have to realize our courts can't enforce their own rulings. So if a president refuses to carry out his obligation to do so, then we are no longer a nation of laws," she added.

Cheney, who has formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' and other Democrats across the ballot, also warned that "the people that stopped him from his worst desires last time around won't serve again" if he wins. And didn't disagree with claims from retired Gen. Mark Milley, who chaired the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump and Joe Biden, and who called Trump a "fascist to the core" in Bob Woodward's upcoming book "War."

Cheney has been actively campaigning for Harris, recently speaking at a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin, considered the birth place of the Republican party. There, she urged voters to "reject the depraved cruelty" embodied by Trump's project. "We cannot turn away from this truth," said Cheney, who largely departed from the Republican party following the January 6 assault on the Capitol.

Cheney made reference to the incidents, recalling that Trump "did not condemn them." "That's who Donald Trump is," added Cheney, who also served as vice chair of the House select committee that investigated the attack and supported impeachment efforts against him.

Eventually, her stances led the House GOP to oust her as conference chair and replace her with a top Trump ally, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. Trump reacted to Cheney's latest statements in an interview with Fox News, calling her a "low IQ stupid war hawk."

Trump also criticized her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has said he will vote for Harris as well. "Her father, Dick, was a leader of our ridiculous journey into the Middle East, where Trillions of Dollars were spent, millions of people were killed – and for what? NOTHING," Trump said.

Liz Cheney has clarified that she has serious policy disagreements with Harris on a variety of issues, but chose to support her because she feels that "those of us who believe in the defense of our democracy, in the defense of our Constitution, and the survival of our republic have a duty in this election cycle to come together to put those things above politics."
