Former Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney cut a campaign ad on behalf of daughter (and three term Congresswoman) Liz Cheney, who is facing an uphill battle for the GOP nomination for Wyoming's only U.S. House seat.

As an aside, did anyone else notice that VP Cheney barely blinked during that entire diatribe? Was he slipped the same medication that President Joe Biden is being administered?
I digress.
While I've made no secret of the fact that I hope Donald Trump doesn't run again (as well as firmly believing he's unfit), I stop well short of saying he's the biggest threat our Republic has faced in its 246 years. Seems to me the hyperbolic former Veep is steep in "recency bias."
John Wilkes Booth assassinated the president and tried to kill/capture two other cabinet members in a desperate bid to prevent the Union from winning a literal civil war. Get a grip. It’s not like Trump started a disastrous 20-year war over non-existent WMDs. https://t.co/Bk9NsHlXxM

In the end, I look at this video screed as little more than a father standing up for his daughter as well as making a vow that Liz will ensure Trump never sees the Oval Office again. While this will likely not assist Congresswoman Cheney in winning the GOP nod for her House seat, it serves as a message that if she's struck down she'll become more powerful than we can possibly fathom.....or something. A rather ironic implication given that Dick Cheney himself was often chided as "Darth Vader" while serving as Vice President.
