Did you even read this article? This is what Liz Cheney actually said:

"Reactionaries make statements. Conscientious and thoughtful people take action because they know moral statements will never change the world."

If you're interpreting that statement as indicating support for Apartheid, then you clearly have problems with reading comprehension.

In any case, there's a big difference between Liz Cheney's bad opinion in 1987, and the guy who founded the "Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" in Louisiana. There's quite a gap in scale there.

Your "stone" seems to be more of a bouncy ball.

Dick Cheney is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Incredible that liberals will defend the Cheneys, not sure if it's that you don't care about people's lives if they happened to be born in another country, or if you're just willing to defend anyone and anything if you think it'll help you win.

How did Stein's response to David Duke's endorsement compare to Harris' response to Cheney's? Did she accept the endorsement?

Dick Cheney sweet heart. Dick. But liz is also a shit human. Seems like harris is attracting alot of them with a warm embrace. 🤔

But the article you linked is about an op-ed that Liz Cheney wrote while in college? I don't understand what point you're trying to make about Dick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

indeed it is. that op-ed is just as bad. anyways.

Dick Cheney voted against imposing economic sanctions on South Africa’s apartheid government and opposed a resolution calling for Nelson Mandela to be released from prison, saying Mandela was a “terrorist”—a position Cheney defended as recently as 2000, when he ran for vice president.

there are a lot of things about dick we can reference here if you want. but that was the relevant bit. I was just pointing in a direction for you to get you started.
