Kevin Costner recently voiced strong support for former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney during a live town hall on The Michael Smerconish Program on SiriusXM, praising her commitment to public service. Costner, known for his role in Yellowstone, stated, I expect people in government to do the right thing.
Public service is about public service. It’s not about your career. It’s not about your ego. Your four years is your four years.
Cheney has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, especially following the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump, in turn, has been critical of Cheney, branding her a war hawk and making disparaging comments about her stance on national security issues.
Despite their political differences, Cheney has recently shown support for Vice President Kamala Harris, aiming to bridge divides among voters, particularly pro-life and pro-choice women who may be rallying around Harris.
Costner publicly endorsed Cheney in the 2022 midterm elections, famously donning a T-shirt reading, I’m for Liz Cheney.
He emphasized his respect for Cheney’s courage to stand up against party pressures, saying, I’m very proud of Liz Cheney… We should applaud her. We should protect her.
