Liz Cheney has become a prime target for MAGA Republicans, facing not just political opposition but potential physical threats. The situation is striking, given the stark contrast to her father, Dick Cheney, who, as vice president under George W. Bush was once considered one of the most dangerous men in the world, largely due to his involvement in the Iraq War. Despite his notorious reputation, it’s surprising to see his daughter now on the receiving end of such intense hostility from Trump Republicans.
Cheney has only intensified her stance against the MAGA movement by officially endorsing Kamala Harris for president, putting herself squarely in their crosshairs.

Cheney’s defiance in the face of this looming threat underscores her courage, making her a figure worthy of praise.
