Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) PAC donated $2.5 million in October to a Super political action committee (Super PAC), backing Vice President Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Cheney’s Super PAC, Our Great Task, gave $2.5 million to American Bridge 21st Century (AB PAC), one of the Democratic Party’s top opposition research organizations on Oct. 8, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports filed on Thursday.

AB PAC has gone after former President Trump, Harris’s rival, this year, targeting him with negative ads on abortion and the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Cheney’s PAC, formed in March of this year, took subtle shots at the Republican nominee in June with a D-Day-themed ad.

I think she knows wealthy people who don't want Chump back in the White House. BUT they don't want to be on the record for supporting Harris/Walz either. So Liz is a convenient "middle man."

Liz Cheney would ally with Democrats. But in the struggle against Trumpism I welcome any ally in this battle.

people like her will be deemed traitor "RINOs" and eliminated.
