Tucker breaks down Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala and what it really means

September 8, 2024 | | Print Article

Distilling Vice President Kamala Harris’ latest “irrelevant RINO” endorsement to its simplest form, Tucker Carlson explained the actual split in the political divide.

Flipping “The Dark Knight” expression on its head, it appeared for the left one either died a villain or lived long enough to become a hero. But as corporate media lapped up former Vice President Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Harris to continue selling former President Donald Trump the worst of the worst, Carlson’s reaction detailed how the seemingly disparate veeps “have everything in common.”

“…if you think it’s okay to kill people in order to get rich, you’re on their side…”

During Friday’s stop of the Tucker Carlson Live Tour in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as the commentator was introducing former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard he touched on how the onetime Democratic congresswoman’s objection to the Industrial Military Complex had spelled a rapid fall from grace.

A ready contrast was made to the cheering for Cheney backing Harris as Carlson explained, “What they actually care about is the ability to continue to fight pointless wars because that’s where all the money is. That’s where all the money is and if you don’t believe it, maybe you haven’t checked your phone today to see that Dick Cheney and his horrible daughter have endorsed Kamala Harris. Dick Cheney! Now why is that? What does Dick Cheney have in common with Kamala Harris?”

“And it’s really interesting, actually, because they’re constantly telling us that the divides are along race and gender. And they were always telling us, ‘Dick Cheney is this rich white guy and Kamala Harris is this oppressed woman of color,” expressed the former Fox News host. “They’ve got nothing in common!'”

“But actually, they have everything in common. Because they’re both neocons,” Carlson said pointing to someone who called out from the audience. “That’s exactly right.”

“They have everything in common and it tells you what a lie this race and gender stuff is. That’s not the divide. The divide is in your heart, and if you think it’s okay to kill people in order to get rich, you’re on their side, and if you don’t, you’re on our side,” he surmised. “No matter what you look like.”

While Cheney clung to the belief that Trump “tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,” the president had his own take on the endorsement that aligned with Carlson’s analysis.

“Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races!” he’d begun a Truth Social post Friday. “They couldn’t get Scooter Libby, who did so much for them (but was so unfairly treated!), PARDONED. I did it! He’s the kind of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris.”

“I,” Trump differentiated, “am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III! What Liz Cheney did with the Unselect Committee of Political Losers is unthinkable. She and her Unselects deleted and destroyed all evidence and information — IT’S GONE. Much of it proved that Nancy Pelosi was responsible for J6 — DIDN’T PROVIDE SECURITY. Cheney and the others should be prosecuted for what they did, but Comrade Kamala is even worse!”

On that point, social media users could agree.
