Lawrence: Liz Cheney endorsed Harris because she knows 'the danger Donald Trump poses'

>> YOU DON'T. NO INTERNET HIGHLIGHTS, YOU'VE BEEN SAVED THAT. >> AND FOR THAT I THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU. THE BREAKING CAMPAIGN NEWS IS A MAJOR ENDORSEMENT OF KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT. THIS IS AN ENDORSEMENT THAT COULD REALLY CHANGE VOTES IN KAMALA HARRIS' FAVOR BECAUSE IT COMES FROM ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST PROMINENT REPUBLICAN FAMILIES. FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN LIZ CHENEY, THE DAUGHTER OF FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY ENDORSED KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT TODAY IN COMMENTS SHE MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA, WHERE THE LIZ CHENEY ENDORSEMENT COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THAT STATE WHERE KAMALA HARRIS AND DONALD TRUMP ARE RUNNING WITHIN ONE POINT OF EACH OTHER IN MOST POLLS. LIZ CHENEY HAS MADE IT CLEAR SINCE JANUARY 6th THAT SHE COULD NEVER VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT. BUT SINCE DONALD TRUMP SECURED THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION, LIZ CHENEY HAS NOT SAID HOW SHE WILL VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION UNTIL TODAY. >> BECAUSE WE ARE HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA, I THINK IT IS -- IT IS CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE NOT ONLY IS WHAT I'VE JUST SAID ABOUT THE DANGER THAT TRUMP POSES SOMETHING THAT SHOULD PREVENT PEOPLE FROM VOTING FOR HIM, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE THE LUXURY OF WRITING IN CANDIDATE'S NAMES, PARTICULARLY IN SWING STATES. AND AS A CONSERVATIVE, AS SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN AND CARES ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION, I HAVE THOUGHT DEEPLY ABOUT THIS, AND BECAUSE OF THE DANGER THAT DONALD TRUMP POSES NOT ONLY AM I NOT VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP, BUT I WILL BE VOTING FOR KAMALA HARRIS IN THIS ELECTION. >> [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> LIZ CHENEY SERVED AS THE VICE CHAIR OF THE JANUARY 6th CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING DONALD TRUMP'S ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION LEADING UP TO AND ON JANUARY 6th. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP SAT IN THE DINING ROOM OFF THE OVAL OFFICE WATCHING THE VIOLENT RIOT AT THE CAPITOL ON TELEVISION. FOR HOURS HE WOULD NOT ISSUE A PUBLIC STATEMENT INSTRUCTING HIS SUPPORTERS TO DISPERSE AND LEAVE THE CAPITOL. THIS WAS AN UTTER MORAL FAILURE AND A CLEAR DERELICTION OF DUTY. >> LIZ CHENEY'S ENDORSEMENT OF KAMALA HARRIS WILL BE HEARD BY REPUBLICAN VOTERS. CHENEY REPUBLICAN VOTERS. IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF VOTERS THAT COULD TIP A SWING STATE OR SEVERAL SWING STATES IN KAMALA HARRIS' FAVOR IN AN ELECTION NOW WHERE THE CANDIDATES ARE SEPARATED BY ONE OR TWO POINTS IN THE IMPORTANT ELECTORAL COLLEGE SWING STATES THAT WILL DECIDE THIS ELECTION. THE LIZ CHENEY ENDORSEMENT SEEMS POSSIBLY INEVITABLE WHEN WE LOOK AT IT TODAY LOOKING BACK IN TIME, BUT IT IS NOT INEVITABLE. LIZ CHENEY HAS BEEN VERY CAREFUL IN THIS APPROACH TO THE DISCUSSION OF THE TRUMP CANDIDACY, SAYING SHE IS OPPOSED TO THE TRUMP CANDIDACY BUT NEVER GOING THAT STEP -- THAT NEXT STEP TO, OKAY, WHEN YOU'RE FILLING OUT YOUR BALLOT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WE NOW HAVE THAT ANSWER, AND LIZ CHENEY'S ANSWER MAY BECOME THE ANSWER FOR A CRUCIAL NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS OUT THERE WHO COULD END UP DECIDING THIS ELECTION. THAT ENDORSEMENT OF KAMALA HARRIS BY LIZ CHENEY CAME ON THE SAME DAY THAT ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND ANNOUNCED A NEW INDICTMENT OF RUSSIAN CITIZENS FOR TRYING TO INTERFERE WITH THE CURRENT 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AGAIN IN SUPPORT OF DONALD TRUMP. THE INDICTMENT SAYS RT, FORMERLY KNOWN AS RUSSIA TODAY, IS A STATE-CONTROLLED MEDIA OUTLET FUNDED AND DIRECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF RUSSIA. AFTER RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE IN FEBRUARY 2022, RT WAS SANCTIONED, DROPPED BY DISTRIBUTORS, AND ULTIMATELY FORCED TO CEASE FORMAL OPERATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE EUROPEAN UNION. IN RESPONSE, RT CREATED, IN THE WORDS OF ITS EDITOR IN CHIEF, AN ENTIRE EMPIRE OF COVERT PROJECTS DESIGNED TO SHAPE PUBLIC OPINION IN WESTERN AUDIENCES. THE INDICTMENT SAYS THAT RT AND ITS EMPLOYEES, QUOTE, DEPLOYED NEARLY $10 MILLION LAUNDERED THROUGH A NETWORK OF FOREIGN SHELL ENTITIES TO COVERTLY FUND AND DIRECT ENGLISH LANGUAGE VIDEOS ON MULTIPLE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, INCLUDING TIKTOK, INSTAGRAM, X, AND YOUTUBE. ACCORDING TO THE INDICTMENT, THOSE VIDEOS ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE CANDIDACY OF DONALD TRUMP. THE FIRST TIME DONALD TRUMP RAN FOR THE PRESIDENCY, HE OPENLY AND ILLEGALLY ASKED FOR RUSSIA'S HELP. >> RUSSIA, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, I HOPE YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND THE 30,000 EMAILS THAT ARE MISSING. I THINK YOU WILL PROBABLY BE REWARDED MIGHTILY BY OUR PRESS. >> RUSSIA DID EXACTLY WHAT DONALD TRUMP REQUESTED THAT DAY. AFTER MAKE GARLAND ANNOUNCED THE INDICTMENTS FOR RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THIS YEAR'S ELECTION TODAY, DONALD TRUMP COMPLAINED ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT IT WAS SOMEHOW UNFAIR FOR THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO CRIMINALLY PROSECUTE ILLEGAL RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS. THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT CAN SUCCESSFULLY INTERFERE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS THANKS ENTIRELY TO THE UTTER ABSURDITY OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE OPERATION IN 2016 TO TURN ENOUGH VOTES IN DONALD TRUMP'S FAVOR SO THAT DONALD TRUMP COULD ACTUALLY WIN THE MOST VOTES. DONALD TRUMP LOST THE VOTE AT THE POLLS BY 3 MILLION VOTES, A MARGIN THAT RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE COULD NOT POSSIBLY CLOSE, BUT THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE CAN BE WON BY TINY VOTE MARGINS IN A FEW STATES. DONALD TRUMP LOST TO JOE BIDEN BY 7 MILLION VOTES NATIONALLY AND HE WILL SURELY LOSE TO KAMALA HARRIS BY MILLIONS OF VOTES NATIONALLY. AND THAT IS WHY RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IS TARGETED AT THE KEY ELECTORAL COLLEGE STATES THAT DECIDE THE ELECTION. THERE IS NOTHING THE FOUNDERS FEARED MORE THAN FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS. THEY WOULD BE HORRIFIED TO KNOW THAT NOTHING HAS MADE FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
