Republican Cheney has already paid a high price for her open criticism of ex-President Trump and lost her leadership role within the party. That’s why she doesn’t keep her opinion behind the mountain. In a TV commercial, she even describes Trump as a risk for America.
Republican Liz Cheney warned against ex-President Donald Trump in a television commercial. “Donald Trump has proven that he is unsuitable for the office. He is a risk that America can never take again,” says the politician in it. The video shows images of the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cheney himself is not in the clip, but did narrate the lyrics.
The arch-conservative politician is the loudest Trump critic among Republicans. She paid a high price for this. She lost her leadership role within the party and eventually her seat in the House of Representatives.
She played a leading role in the committee of inquiry into the attack on the US Capitol and repeatedly warned that Trump posed a threat to democracy. In the past, Cheney has shown himself open to running for president in the 2024 election.
The commercial should now be shown around a CNN broadcast with Trump. In it, Trump wants to answer questions from Republican supporters, among other things. It is the first time Trump has appeared on a CNN program in a while. The ex-president usually complains loudly about the broadcaster, which is considered to be rather liberal.
Trump wants to run again as a Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election. To do this, however, he must first pass the internal party primaries – so far he has been ahead in polls.
