Actor Kevin Costner is defending Liz Cheney, saying he is “proud” of her after she decided to side with Vice President Kamala Harris.

He made his case on “The Michael Smerconish Program” on SiriusXM, celebrating the woman who bucked the Republican Party to condemn President-elect Donald Trump.

“I expect people in government to do the right thing. Public service is about public service. It’s not about your career. It’s not about your ego. Your four years is your four years,” the actor explained.

“When I think about our country, we have to think about other people.”

Costner, who had previously endorsed Cheney during election midterms two years ago, said he was “proud” of her.

“I found a person who’s completely at odds with one side and willing to stand up,” he said. “And we should applaud her. We should protect her.”

“This woman should never be threatened and neither should anybody that stands up in America because we admire the people of the Revolutionary War that stood up.”

“So when someone stands up — even if we don’t — we can’t let her be vulnerable. As a man, I can’t — I won’t allow it. We shouldn’t allow that,” he concluded.
