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:

Yea, trade in that cackling hyena for an angry lesbo…….
Actually, it’s her sister who is the lesbo, but I wouldn’t vote for her anyway!
DO IT, PLEASE!!!!
Tom is a left wing jerk.
far worse than that
notice he only suggested RINOs ?
Who the hell is Tom???????
The DemoRats won’t have him run.
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
cheney is no Republican
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.
Noah Shachtman has it right. This is a brain fart from a nincompoop.
Before or after Biden, the Putz in Chief, is impeached?
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.
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?
Joe Biden + ANYBODY is a non-starter! Unless he promises to commit suicide on inauguration day!
LOL
sorry can’t stop laughing…….
Maybe Sleepy, Creepy Joe will go the way of Nixon, the Do Do and the white buffalo through impeachment.
This article sent me to the bathroom.
So basically, a democrat for a democrat? Still no.
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.
Why wait till 2024? Dump Commala now! Joe too!
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.
Racism. Run the black lady off for a white one. Boy oh boy. Will this racism never end in the democratic party??
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.
Bring it on! Let Xiden cut his own throat.
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!
Actually, not a bad idea, Biden-Cheney 2024. It will finally politically bury Liz Cheney once and for all…
Yes, yes! But ditch Kamala first, THEN resign.
