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.

What Cheney and others of her ilk refuse to acknowledge is that the majority of Trump supporters at the rally were not neo-Nazis or Ku Klux Klan members or rioters bent on destroying the Capitol and killing people. The Confederate flag is not synonymous with the Swastika. I imagine there are many southerners who are proud of their ancestors who fought for the Confederacy and who never even owned a slave. They fought for their homes and their region. And this is a descendent of Union veterans (Pa. Volunteer Infantry and Cavalry) who is saying this.

This woman hates Trump supporters as much as any Democrat does. Why is she allowed to remain in an elevated position in the House? She hates Trump because he ridiculed Jeb! and has continually assaulted Dick Cheney’s and W’s foreign policy. This is a personal, vindictive crusade for her. There is no other explanation for her vengeance. It makes no sense otherwise.

I couldn’t have said it any better. .

Too many here still willing to vote for this dreck simply because they’re not Democrats. And they don’t seem to mind the back slap to the face after the election.

For starters, the GOP should get rid of the Cheney princess.

She’s white. She is in a position of power. She must resign immediately, give up all her possessions, and move to Somalia.

Throughout life I worked my butt off to stay above water. When there was a draft, I got to serve in the military.

Dizzy Lizzy Cheney lived a spoiled life of plenty growing up in the family of a well-to-do elitist family in the upper echelons of Washington society.

And I’m the one whith the white privilege?

Reading the news, I see more stories about people believing in "white inferiority", or "people of color supremacy".

Liz Cheney is a pain. She is trying to make a name for herself by making stupid statements. The news media love that. It gives them something to write about that day.

You mean, I can’t like the Supremes, just the Platters, the Pips and the Temptations? If I don’t like Marvin Gay, am I homophobic?

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


About 2/3 voted of the House GOP conference for her AFTER she voted to impeach. Many of the rest would have if that wouldn’t have blown their fake MAGA cover.

Liz should take the first step by resigning, moving to a mixed low income neighborhood and donating her wealth to a shelter for cats

Using the propaganda phrase ‘white supemacy’ is a democratic trick. Liz Cheney using it tells us a lot about her alignment and it is not fully with the Republican party.

Liz Cheney is like that carnival Wack-o-mole. She keeps popping up and saying things you would not expect. People try to hammer her down and she keeps popping up.
