The left has decided that they love Dick Cheney now, after lambasting him during the Bush years.

A recently published op-ed in The Hill explained how “the GOP’s Darth Vader turned into Luke Skywalker” by simply endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. The writer was surprised at how quickly politics would make “strange bedfellows” of liberals and a man they once hated with every fiber of their beings.

“But even though I know that politics can sometimes make strange bedfellows, I never dreamed, figuratively speaking, I’d ever crawl in bed with Dick Cheney. But I happily did so this week when the former vice president announced he would not only not vote for Donald Trump but cast his vote for Kamala Harris. Cheney is my new BFF,” the writer slobbered.

“For this dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, it’s hard to describe what an image-shattering transformation that statement is. During the build-up to the Iraq War, Democrats loathed Vice President Dick Cheney even more than they hated his boss, President George W. Bush,” he continued. “We called him “Darth Vader.” Books have been written about how Cheney led the younger Bush by the nose; Cheney who pressured the CIA to “cherry-pick” evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction; and Cheney who convinced Bush to launch the war in Iraq. And now the bad guy is suddenly the good guy. It’s enough to make your head spin.”

Lavishing praise on the Cheneys, he adds Adam Kinzinger to the list of “today’s profiles in courage” for no other reason than because they disagree with former President Donald Trump. This, alone, is clearly enough to redeem even the most hated Republican.

“In the world of politics, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger are today’s profiles in courage: those rare politicians who are willing to put the good of the country ahead of the good of their political party. What a contrast with so many other Republicans, who are afraid to stand up to Trump.”
