### Liz Cheney Criticizes JD Vance Over Attacks on Former Trump Administration Officials

Former Representative Liz Cheney strongly criticized Ohio Senator and GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance for his comments against former Trump White House officials. Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming and a prominent critic of Donald Trump, made these remarks during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union."

Cheney's critique of Vance follows his recent remarks concerning John Kelly, Trump's longest-serving chief of staff, who has accused the former president of repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler. In response to these accusations, Vance argued that Kelly and others, including Cheney, were displeased with Trump because he opposed extensive U.S. military interventions.

Additionally, Cheney condemned Vance for what she described as "stunning" attacks on former Vice President Mike Pence. This comes amidst growing tensions between Pence and Trump following Pence's refusal to contest the 2020 election results, a stance that resulted in considerable backlash during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Cheney highlighted that Vance's defense of Trump involved contortions and false narratives, particularly targeting high-ranking officials like General John Kelly. She reiterated that the Trump campaign and its allies are eager to undermine credible criticisms from senior members of the Trump administration who have warned against a second Trump term.

Moreover, a letter endorsed by over a dozen former Trump administration officials supporting Kelly's comments was also mentioned, urging Americans to heed Kelly's warning regarding the dangers posed by another Trump presidency.

In the letter, these officials emphasized their commitment to their country over their party, asserting that moments in history demand such a stance. They commended General Kelly for his candid deposition on the perils of re-electing Trump.

Vance's rebuttal included accusations that those who denounce Trump are distorting the truth and attacking his campaign without justification. However, the controversy highlights the broader divisions within the GOP, with former high-level officials from the Trump administration now openly questioning his suitability for office.

The impact of these revelations on the election remains uncertain, though commentators have speculated that they could significantly influence the final outcomes. With Election Day approaching, these developments hint at potential shifts in voter sentiment amid an exceptionally close race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
