Harris senior spokesman silent on whether he still thinks Liz Cheney is 'crazy,' a 'warlord'

Vice President Kamala Harris' senior campaign spokesperson, Ian Sams, remained silent when pressed on whether he still believes in his previous sharp critiques of Harris campaign surrogate, Liz Cheney, who Sams described in 2013 as a "warlord" and blamed in 2019 for "lead[ing] us into Iraq." 

"Liz Cheney helped lead us into Iraq from a special State Department Middle East post her dad's administration created for her," Sams criticized Cheney on Twitter, now X, in 2019.

"Liz Cheney brings the crazy today," he said in a separate 2013 social media post, which linked to a Wall Street Journal op-ed that Cheney wrote at the time. Meanwhile, that same year, Sams shared an article from Salon.com, which referred to Cheney as an "aspiring warlord."

Fox News Digital uncovered several social media posts by Sams critiquing Cheney, who, in more recent days, has praised the former GOP Wyoming congresswoman following her endorsement of his boss.

Just over the weekend, Sams touted the fact that Cheney would be stumping for Harris in the battleground state of Wisconsin. A few days before that, he was defending Cheney from attacks by former President Donald Trump. 

"Congresswoman Cheney is a patriot," Sams told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell last month. "I think, in the last five years, we've seen over-and-over again, her put country over party. Or as John McCain would say, 'To put country first.'"
