Liz Cheney calls on GOP to do more to reject "white supremacy"
CBS News via Yahoo ^ | February 23rd, 2021 | Aaron Navarro

Liz Cheney, the third ranking House Republican, on Tuesday called on the Republican party to "make clear we aren't the party of white supremacy." Cheney's remarks came during an event hosted by the Reagan Institute.

"It's very important for us to ignore the temptation to look away," Cheney said. "And it's very important, especially for us as Republicans, to make clear that we aren't the party of white supremacy.

"You certainly saw anti-Semitism. You saw the symbols of Holocaust denial... you saw a Confederate flag being carried through the rotunda," she said, referencing the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. "We, as Republicans in particular, have a duty and an obligation to stand against that, to stand against insurrection."

Cheney has been one of the most vocal Republicans to speak out against the insurrection and what she sees as former President Trump's role in inciting the events of January 6. Cheney on Tuesday voiced support for the creation of a "9/11 type commission" to investigate the assault. She said part of the commission's mandate should be to take a "clear eyed look" into Mr. Trump's and his allies' false allegations of a widespread fraud and a "stolen" election leading up to the attacks.

It’s like constant non-sequituring.

Where is this white supremacy? Where is this white privilege? Where are these evil white bigots?

Please point out groups of any significance, and incidents actually connected directly to them.

“White supremacy” allegations are a straw-man argument, idiot.

It is so obvious what is going on here. The Cheneys know the extent to which the deep state intelligence structure has dirt on everyone. They also how much dirt could be uncovered on them.

Like the Bushes, Kasich, Ryan, etc...they are compromised.

I wish someone would define "white supremacy" so we could actually do something about it.


Of course, that's not their goal. They want an invisible boogey man to claim is out to get us so they can save us.

Being Caucasian means being a white supremacist in the feeble minds of the Left, so getting rid of Cheney would be a first step.

Reject Liz Cheney. “White Supremacy” isn’t the problem.

145 House GOP voted to retain her in leadership.

This IS the GOP.

They hate their voters and want them replaced with a new Democrat majority that they have been importing for 30 years.

I must have missed it.

She’s part of the Republican leadership. She’s saying what a lot of Republican politicians believe.

The definition is quite easy. If you are white, simply hold up a hand held mirror, and look at it.

All of my life, I have heard sad stories from the press and media about Americans of African Descent.

I hear the same stories year after year.

Frankly, I’m immune to those stories because I’ve heard them so often.

I hope that all Americans of African Descent work hard and enjoy the freedom and opportunity we all have in this country.

So, this is the main issue she wants to work on? Is she saying Violent White Supremacy Actions are running rampant in her own political party? Her top issue should be that the man nominally in charge of the US has dementia. She is showing her low IQ.
