Liz Cheney says she canceled her subscription to Washington Post after publication he announced that he would no longer support presidential candidates.
The former Wyoming Republican spoke The New Yorker editor David Remnick at the 25th annual New Yorker Festival on Saturday. She discussed her experiences campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of next month's election pitting Harris against former President Donald Trump. Cheney also addressed the Sendowned by Jeff Bezos, announcing in a statement Friday that the channel is “returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” marking the first time since 1988 that it has not endorsed one.
Cheney said on stage: “On the issue of Washington Sendlook, first of all, it's fear. He continued: “When Jeff Bezos seems afraid to throw an endorsement at the only candidate in the running who is a stable, responsible adult because he fears Donald Trump, that tells you why we have to work so hard to make sure Donald Trump is unelected.”
He added: “And I also think why we shouldn't forget what happened, forget who took courageous and courageous stands. And I canceled my subscription to Washington PostI'm just saying.”
Cheney, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump for years, is the latest notable figure to weigh in on the controversy surrounding the Send's lack of approval. Former Send employees Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein criticized the decision Saturday on X (formerly Twitter), while author Stephen King noted Friday that he had deleted his Send subscription after five years.
THE Send's announcement followed debate earlier in the week regarding the Los Angeles Times decide not to support a presidential candidate in the 2024 race.
