Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Monday she believes women will “save the day” in the election and defended telling women to “vote your conscience” regardless of their husbands’ voter preferences.
Cheney said in an interview on ABC’s “The View” that “women are going to save the day” on Tuesday, and she defended her comments from a campaign appearance late last month when she told women, “You can vote your conscience and never have to say a word to anybody.”
The issue has been in the spotlight recently following the release of an ad narrated by actor Julia Roberts that encourages women to vote for Vice President Harris, even if their husbands are voting for former President Trump. Conservatives have broadly criticized the campaign ad.
“Every time you see people like Charlie Kirk or Donald Trump, those people come out and act as though they’re somehow horrified that a woman might make her own decision about how she’s going to vote,” Cheney said Monday. “I mean this stuff, it’s like, are we really in 2024?”
“They have actually, you know, talked about repealing the 19th Amendment, some of those people working for Donald Trump,” Cheney added. “People need to really, really remember the misogynist aspect of all of this.”
