- Trump vowed to defeat Cheney in next year’s primary election with his support for Republican attorney Harriet Hageman.
What do they say? “I was wrong. I was wrong. I love my sister and her family very much ”, declared the representative. “It is a very personal issue for me. I think my father was right. My sister and I have had that conversation. “
- “This (equal marriage) is an issue that we have to recognize, you know, as human beings we have to work against discrimination of all kinds in our country, in our state,” added the representative.
- Cheney also criticized Biden’s “really disastrous policies” on the economy and national security.
- “We were at an event a few nights ago and there was a young woman who said that she doesn’t feel safe sometimes because she is transgender. No one should feel unsafe. Freedom means freedom for all ”, he sentenced.
