Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance said he has a “low” opinion of Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney, claiming she is motivated by “an obsessive hatred” of those who contributed to her 2022 reelection loss, not love for country.

“I’ve known a lot of people in Washington who served with Liz Cheney, and what they would tell you to someone is that Liz Cheney is motivated by an obsessive hatred of the people who cost her the seat in Congress from Wyoming. She is not motivated by love for this country. She is a resentful, petty person, and if Kamala Harris wants to parade her, she is welcome,” Vance said in response to a question from a reporter in Waukesha.

As he often does on the trail, Vance said former President Donald Trump is a symbol of the “big tent common sense team” that includes former Democratic Rep. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tulsi Gabbard, former Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley and Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia as examples.

Cheney, who is supporting Harris, will campaign with the vice president tomorrow in suburban Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Vance also commented on Trump working as a fry attendant at McDonald’s earlier Sunday and suggested, as Trump has claimed, that Harris did not actually work there.

“President Trump, he made it hard for Kamala Harris to run for president, but he made it a little bit harder because I don’t know if you saw today that he went to work at McDonald’s for about 15 minutes,” said Vance. , while the crowd cheered loudly. “I caught him on the drive here and said, ‘Sir, I think you worked at McDonald’s about 15 minutes longer than Kamala Harris.'”

A campaign official told CNN that Harris worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, in the summer of 1983, while she was still a student at Howard University in Washington. She worked at the cash register and manned the chip and ice cream machines, the official said.
