Harris’ Speech at the DNC Is a Speech that ‘Reagan Could Have Given’: Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney

‘It’s very much an embrace and an understanding of the exceptional nature of this great nation, a love of America’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CHENEY: "But I think that it’s a very important point. If you look at vice president Harris’ speech for example, at the democratic convention, it is a speech that Ronald Reagan could have given. It is a speech that George Bush could have given. It’s very much an embrace and an understanding of — of the exceptional nature of this great nation, a love of America, a recognition that America is a special place, a recognition that we all have to work together to ensure that, and you contrast to ensure that we maintain it. You contrast that with what we hear from Donald Trump, again, on a daily basis, that America is a failing nation, that America is a laughing stock. The trash talking of the United States of America very much is part of the message that Donald Trump is pushing, and so at the end of the day, I think it’s important for people to recognize he’s not a conservative. The policies that we’re seeing him put forward including, you know, again, on an almost daily basis, this notion of embracing global tariffs, that he’s going to impose 100%, 200% tariffs. That is fundamentally an anti-conservative policy. It’s also a policy that I point out to friends of mine who say, well, we’re going to vote for him because of his economic conservativism. It will choke off global trade, will likely lead us down a path that we’ve seen before, for example, in the 1930s, lead to — at that point, it was a depression. The important thing for people to remember about something like the tariffs that he’s promising, including, you know, in addition to the fact that it’s disastrous policy, he can do it alone. He does not need Congress if he were to be re-elected to impose those massive tariffs that will, in fact, kill the American economy and the global economy."
