Former Vice President and Iraq War criminal Dick Cheney intends to vote for Kamala Harris in November’s presidential election, according to his daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. The former Wyoming Congressman revealed her arch-neoconservative father’s candidate preference in an interview with Mark Leibovich of the globalist Atlantic magazine during the Texas Tribune Festival earlier on Friday.

Liz Cheney told Leibovich and the crowd at the confab that her father—who oversaw the aggressive and heretofore irrevocable expansion of the U.S. surveillance state—believes former President Donald J. Trump is a “grave threat to our democracy.”

According to his daughter, the former vice president, who served under George ‘Dubya’ Bush, considers Trump responsible for the January 6 Capitol riots.

“My dad believes — and he said publicly — that there’s never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is,” the former Congresswoman said. The elder Cheney’s endorsement comes on the heels of his daughter’s decision publicly backing Harris, announced earlier this week.

Both Dick and Liz Cheney are notable Russia hawks, with the former opposing the normalization of relations with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union while serving as the U.S. Secretary of Defense under the late George H.W. Bush. However, their backing of Harris has placed them in the same camp as Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced his preference for the Democratic Party nominee on Thursday.

The Iraq War, championed by Dick Cheney and other neoconservatives in the Bush White House, resulted in the deaths of nearly 5,000 American military service members, with an additional 32,000 wounded in action. An estimated 1,500 military contractors working for the U.S. and its allies also lost their lives. Upwards of half a million Iraqis died in the conflict. Meanwhile, the power vacuum created by removing Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of the Islamic State terror group and the expansion of Iranian influence throughout the Middle East.

Other speakers joining Liz Cheney at the Texas Tribune Festival include Georgia election denier Stacey Abrams, Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX), Biden-Harris Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI).
