‘I don’t agree with her on anything,’ California Democrats say of Liz Cheney — as they donate to her race
LA Times“Republicans cannot be loyal to Donald Trump and to the Constitution,” Rep. Liz Cheney, vice chair of the House Jan. 6 panel, said of the GOP’s future in a June 29 speech at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. But that’s not the only work I care about.” Cheney’s donors include many bold-face Hollywood names, including studio mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, “Friends” producer Kevin Bright and movie director Gary Ross of “Seabiscuit” and “The Hunger Games.” Katzenberg, the co-founder of DreamWorks Animation and one of the entertainment industry’s top Democratic fundraisers, said he decided to support Cheney because he admires her principled stance on the peaceful transfer of power. “She’s just trying to do the right thing.” Some of the left-leaning donors, including Katzenberg, have previously given to Republicans, but not typically to politicians as conservative as Cheney. “She’s in deep manure,” said Stuart Spencer, an advisor to President Reagan and longtime friend of the Cheney family who first met Cheney when she was in kindergarten.
