Liz Cheney on Donald Trump and J.D. Vance: ‘This Is My Diplomatic Way of Saying It, They’re Misogynistic Pigs’

LEIBOVICH: “If you were advising Kamala Harris going into this debate on, I guess Monday — Monday or Tuesday? — Tuesday with Donald Trump, you know, he’s not a fun or easy guy to debate, obviously. How do you think she should proceed?”

Cheney: “Look, I think that, you know, every, every opportunity, that Donald Trump gets to show the American people who he is. He pretty clearly — and look, his running mate is doing this too, I mean, you know. This is my diplomatic way of saying it. They’re misogynistic pigs.”

(Applause)

I think that will become clear. I mean, I think that Vice President Harris has demonstrated, you know, particularly if you watch the speech we were talking about at the convention, a focus on seriousness and substance and policy. And you know, I just, I think that that, you know, for people who sort of say, well, you know, you have conservatives who might say, well, I’m thinking of voting for Trump because he’s a conservative. He is not a conservative. And when you — when you look at the contrast in terms of policies, for example, when it comes to things like NATO, when it comes to things like the support of Ukraine, when, you know, you look at the proposals that he’s made to impose massive tariffs, for example, you know, I think that there there are a whole range of policy issues that raise very serious concerns. But, you know, we would — we would — sometimes you hear from Trump supporters that, you know, they want to just let Trump be Trump. And like, I endorse that, like let that guy go, because the more people see him and the more, you know, frankly, at the end of the day, I think that women around this country, like, we’ve had enough. We’ve had enough.

(applause)

And I think what that means is that people have got to step up and realize, I mean, again, look at what J.D. Vance says on an almost daily basis about women. I mean, that guy has got a real women problem. I don’t know what it is, and I don’t want to psychoanalyze him. And there’s a lot of eyeliner jokes to be made in there. But — but I think that, you know, at the end of the day, if you listen to what he says about women, you know, and you look at Donald Trump and what Donald Trump has done and what he says about women, these are not people that we can entrust with power again, but that means women and men. But we’ve got to get out there and vote. We got to make sure people are registered. You got to drive people to the polls. It really, really matters this time.”
