Dick Cheney calls Trump ‘coward’, ‘greatest threat to Republic’

Washington : Former US Vice President Dick Cheney has attacked ex-President Donald Trump, calling him a “coward who lost big” and who poses the “greatest threat to our Republic” in what appears to be a vociferous defence for his daughter Liz Cheney, Vice Chair of the January 6 Capitol Hill insurrection panel, a target of Trump and Republicans’ ire for her statements in the panel against Trump for “dereliction of duty”.
Dick Cheney, known as a Vice President who yielded enormous power under George W. Bush’s presidency as a Republican, branded Trump as the greatest “threat to our Republic” in a new campaign ad for his daughter Liz Cheney, who is running for re-election in Wyoming.
Poll pundits rate her re-election chances as fairly low with Republicans campaigning for her opposite GOP candidate Hariet Hageman, who has endorsed Trump’s claims of a 2020 stolen election.
“In our nation’s 236-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our Republic than Donald Trump,” said Dick Cheney, who served as Vice President for two terms under George W. Bush.

He is a coward. A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters. He lost his election, and he lost big. I know it, he knows it, and deep down I think most Republicans know it,” Dick Cheney was quoted by The Guardian in the campaign ad for his daughter Liz Cheney seeking re-election from Wyoming in the midterms for the House of Representatives. .
Dick Cheney also said how proud he was of his daughter “for standing up to the truth, doing what’s right, honouring her oath to the Constitution when so many in our party are too scared to do so”.
