Liz Cheney Torches Tucker Carlson as Part of Brutal Anti-GOP Rant: He’s ‘Platforming Pro-Nazis’ and ‘Himself Pushing Pro-Nazi Propaganda’
Days after announcing her intention to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney went after Tucker Carlson Sunday — as part of a larger rant against the GOP.
Appearing on ABC’s This Week Sunday (in what host Jonathan Karl billed as the former congresswoman’s first TV interview in months), Cheney condemned Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) over his upcoming scheduled event with Carlson in Hershey, PA.
“We now have a Republican Party that is embracing isolationism, that is embracing Putin, that we’ve seen just in the last week, the Republican vice presidential nominee willing to appear, willing to be interviewed by Tucker Carlson — who is platforming pro-Nazis, is himself pushing pro-Nazi propaganda,” Cheney said. “That is not the party of Ronald Reagan.”
Cheney was alluding to Carlson’s recent interview with Daryl Cooper — who engaged in stunning Holocaust revisionism and called Winston Churchill, rather than Adolf Hitler, the “chief villain” of World War II. Carlson, speaking with Charlie Kirk on Friday, defended the interview.
“Why the hysteria?” Carlson said of the backlash.
Karl followed up on that comment by asking Cheney — who had just mentioned Ronald Reagan — who the late 40th president would support in the 2024 election.
“There is absolutely no chance that Ronald Reagan would be supporting Donald Trump,” Cheney said. “Donald Trump doesn’t stand for any of the things that Ronald Reagan did. And it’s another place where I would urge my Republican colleagues, both in the Congress, but across the country, to really look at Donald Trump’s policies. To really look at the danger that he presents. To look at what he was willing to do to stay in power. It’s a firm rejection, not just of traditional Republican policies, but of the constitutional order on which this country depends.”
