Former Biden official Jen Psaki slams Kamala for campaigning with Liz Cheney

"I think we were speaking in a manner that was so academic an Ivory Tower, it wasn't talking about a lot of the things people actually care about…  I think they voted in some ways against protection of status quo and the disconnected academic Ivory Tower elite language that is too often used by Democrats," she said. "One of my takeaways after the election was cross-authoritarianism and oligarchy out of every script. Nobody talks this way."

Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was once supportive of President Donald Trump, but their relationship soured following the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Cheney became one of only ten Republicans to vote to impeach Trump after the riot, and went on to lose her Wyoming House seat after Trump endorsed her primary challenger, Rep. Harriet Hagerman.

Biden granted Cheney a pre-emptive pardon on his way out the door, along with Anthony Fauci and several other Trump antagonists.

During the podcast, Stewart lamented that the Democrats have become the "party of the government, the party of the status quo," which he claimed missed the reality that most Americans are facing.

"And institutions," Psaki agreed.
