House GOP leader Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) repeated her call for Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to resign from Congress following his newly-publicized comments on rape and incest.

“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest?” King said earlier this week at Iowa’s Westside Conservative Club. “Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?”

King was apparently attempting to defend legislation to restrict abortion even in cases of rape and incest when he went on the bizarre tangent.

I place Lizzy in the same category as Me-gan McQueeq.

Her name alone should have made her toxic to decent people.

RINO Cheney needs to resign for being, likely, a Never Trumper and for living in the ‘rat infested Wyoming County of
Teton.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Liz Cheney has her dad’s political instincts, which weren’t good. She’d be better off in the private sector.

Similarly what would Dizzy Miss Lizzy say about Mohammed Ali when he said, upon returning from the "Rumble in the Jungle" in Zaire:
"Thank G-d My Granddaddy Got on that Boat"

“She’d be better off in the private sector.”

Her dad made money in the private sector (BIG money) by first being in the public sector.

“Liz is as insane as her father.”

What does it say about the GOP that she was given a top job in the House Republican Caucus, after being in office what - one, two, three - years?

Don’t tell me that the Bush Family doesn’t still run the Republican Party. Trump is an aberration, they’re just biding their time till he leaves.

Dumb thing for him to say but undoubtedly true.

If you go back 15 generations you have over 32,000 ancestors (barring any duplications where the same person is your ancestor on more than one line). Going back 18 generations you have over 260,000 ancestors. With such figures there are bound to be some individuals who were conceived because of rape or incest--and without their having existed, you would not exist.

Because, making a comment someone doesn’t like should be a disqualifying factor.

The GOPee will take back the reins of the Republican Party when Trump is gone.

And the country will never elect another Republican President.

Those are my predictions, and I’d take them to Las Vegas if I were a betting person.

Notice how the Dems never call on one of their own to quit?

That’s a lame argument. I have no reason to believe anyone in my bloodline engaged in rape or incest. Besides you can extrapolate forever about what if this happened or that didn’t happen, where would I be? Well, if the right people didn’t hook up at the right time, you very well might not exist and you know what? If you didn’t exist, you wouldn’t be able to give a damn.
