New York Times Columnist Tom Friedman set social media alight on Tuesday after he suggested that President Joe Biden trade in Kamala Harris in exchange for the notorious Republican Never Trump congresswoman Liz Cheney for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election.

As Fox News reports:

Friedman wrote a piece extensively focused on Israeli politics and the “most diverse national unity government in Israel’s history,” something he suggested, “might be a harbinger for politics in the U.S.”

“Is that what America needs in 2024 — a ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney?” Friedman wondered. “Or Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney? Or any other such combination. Before you leap into the comments section, hear me out.”

The Times columnist elaborated on the mechanics that led to the 2021 ousting of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and how an Israeli coalition across party lines elevated “rightist Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and left-of-center Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid” into power.

He asked political scientist Steven Levitsky, who warned “democracy cannot afford for this Republican Party to win again” for failing to commit to democratic rules, if a Biden-Cheney ticket is “such a crazy idea.”

Needless to say Friedman’s proposal was generally not received positively by political observers on social media:

  1. Two incorrect items in this story Biden will be Dead i n2 years or less due to alzheimers and Lezzie Chaney is not a republican

    1. She isn’t even acting like an American, as she is for power. It’s just so mind boggling that these people really believe that we elect them to control us. No, we elect them to represent us which they obviously do not.

  2. So the media is confirming all these Rino’s are really communist leaning dems. No real worry as Biden isn’t going to make it that long.

  3. How about Biden choosing Republican Trump as his running mate, then let’s say they win, Biden is quickly impeached and guess who’s President?

  4. Idiotic, first of all Hiden will not be running, if he does it will be a GOP landslide despite Democrats having more voters. Cheney, he’ll lose even worse, she is now a turncoat pariah who may not be around after 2022. Abrams? are you serious! Who the heck is she and might also be history after 22.

  5. Cheney is not a Republican, she is nothing but a bought and paid for RINO. Frankly, many of us don’t care who Biden picks for a running mate in 2024. He could pick Sister Teresa’s sister and he would still lose big time.

  6. Gotta do something to try to fool these 81,000,000 democratic voters. If he is so great why change horses. I wonder if the dems have ever thought of looking at the top of the ticket. After seeing this guy in action for a year don’t ya’ll ever say anything derogatory about Donald Trump again.

  7. Wonder what idiot told brainless Biden to do that! There desperate to win something as America is fed up with demorats! Liz C. Would be right up his alley as shes a demorat hiding under Republican name like McCain did! A plant! It wont get them votes as people know she is worthless blowhard! Republicans would be glad to get rid of her!
