Harris’s embrace of the Cheneys: Project for the Old American Century

“In states like Pennsylvania and Michigan with significant Arab-American constituencies, for whom Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza and the assault on Lebanon are decisive questions, the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign is betting everything on turning ‘​blue wall’ suburban voters against Donald Trump.

Wade. Her support has notoriously been accompanied by that of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, widely regarded as the individual most responsible for the United States’[s] catastrophic invasion of Iraq, the consequences of which are still reverberating across the region, from a death toll in the hundreds of thousands to the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS).” (10/30/24)
