A New York Times op-ed columnist is getting dragged for his suggestion for inspiring national unity and defeating presumptive Republican nominee former President Donald Trump in the 2024 elections. According to Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Thomas L. Friedman, it's as simple as replacing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris with Republican Wyoming Representative and vocal Trump critic Liz Cheney. Friedman uses Israel as a beacon for a way forward. And even if they loved Cheney, the Republican Party hasn't exactly shown interest in adhering to even the most basic of democratic norms. Though Friedman's proposal wasn't without its backers, by and large people were pretty much astonished by what they saw as an absurd idea.
