Tulsi Gabbard had strong words for Kamala Harris after the Democratic nominee expressed that she was \u201chonored\u201d to receive endorsements from Liz and former Vice President Dick Cheney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this week, former VP Cheney, a prominent architect of the Iraq War, declared that he would be voting for Harris in November. In his endorsement statement, he reiterated his frequent criticisms of Trump, calling the former president the \u201cgreatest threat\u201d America has ever faced. He also falsely accused Trump of \u201cdirecting\u201d his followers to \u201cviolently overturn the election,\u201d ignoring the fact that Trump told protesters to remain peaceful on January 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cActually I was honored to have their endorsements, and I think that they both, as leaders who are well respected, are making an important statement, that it\u2019s okay, and it\u2019s important to put country above party,\u201d Harris&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlexThomp\/status\/1832486613537935627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>&nbsp;in response to the Cheney\u2019s backing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During an event in Colorado with former Fox News star-turned-Independent media mogul Tucker Carlson, Gabbard had strong words for the Cheneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have a very simple message for my Democrat friends, my Independent friends, those who&nbsp;may not be sure about who they\u2019re voting for in this election.&nbsp;Dick Cheney has just made the choice very clear.&nbsp;A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has&nbsp;gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades,\u201d Gabbard told the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gabbard, who contested both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, made headlines with her criticism of Harris. Although Gabbard exited the race early, her pointed critique of Harris\u2019 job as a California prosecutor and state attorney general during a tense debate is often credited with significantly sinking the current Dem nominee\u2019s campaign before Biden picked her to be his running mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd so it\u2019s interesting because if you listen to the New York Times or some of the other mainstream media,&nbsp;they\u2019re saying, oh, you know, don\u2019t expect much from Kamala Harris in the way of policies and details and plans,&nbsp;and we\u2019re not going to know much about what kind of president she\u2019s been there, working in the White&nbsp;House the last three and a half years alongside Joe Biden,\u201d Gabbard continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s been the last one in the&nbsp;room, according to her, as these big decisions are being made. But we look at who she says,&nbsp;her response to the Dick Cheney announcement today was that she was honored to have his&nbsp;endorsement,\u201d the former Democrat added, turning to the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we got military veterans in the house. Got a lot of you who probably served in the Middle East like I did. And so it sickened me, Tucker, to read those words today,\u201d Gabbard noted further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, Gabbard&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/conservativebrief.com\/gabbard-flips-85501\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flipped the script<\/a>&nbsp;on CNN\u2019s Dana Bash during an interview after the host attempted to imply that Trump\u2019s visit to Arlington National Cemetery late last month was scandalous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former president, who several Gold Star families invited, helped commemorate the 13 U.S. servicemen and women who were killed during the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s horrendously chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. The U.S. military personnel were cut down by a suicide bomber at the Kabul International Airport along with at least 150 Afghans a few days before the last American troops left the country. Several more U.S. servicemembers were badly wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her interview with Bash, Gabbard\u2014who has since joined Trump\u2019s campaign to help him prep for his Sept. 10 debate with Harris\u2014said that, to her way of thinking, the real scandal was the lack of media coverage of the commemoration itself and the focus on Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know President Trump wanted to share that with others, especially given the fact that President Biden [and] Harris, I heard, were invited by some of these family members. They not only didn\u2018t come, they didn\u2018t even respond to that invitation,\u201d Gabbard said. \u201cNow to have Kamala Harris put this statement out yesterday saying that she stands with these families, she stands with the military and with veterans \u2014 you only have to look at the response that came from the Gold-Star families of these 13 service members of how offended they were by that statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGiven she has not made any effort \u2014 not on that third anniversary or any other time \u2014 to call them directly to offer her condolences and even apologies for their decisions that led to the loss of their loved ones,\u201d Gabbard added.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former U.S. Rep.
