House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the Republican Party removes Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her leadership role, it would be “classic cancel culture.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about the big lie which you just brought up and what’s happening across the aisle in the House. Republicans are set to remove Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney from her leadership role because of her refusal to spread President Trump’s big lie that the election was stolen. These inarguably more conservative than Elise Stefanik poised to replace her. It seems to be about whether or not she’s willing to spread the lie about the election. What’s your take on all this?”
Clyburn said, “That’s exactly what this is about. You know, I don’t agree with Liz much politically, but, you know, that’s how we grow as a country. This whole thing that everybody ought to be in lockstep that is what leads people to destruction. People ought to have a diversity of thought. Diversity is very, very important through gender and sometimes race and also about strength. I want to see a strong Republican Party. My parents were Republicans, and I would love to see this party, but this Republican Party today is showing so much dishonor to the people who made it possible. The people down from Abraham Lincoln kept this party alive on the basis of anti-slavery, which itself was a big lie, and now they are perpetuating it. Now, they talk a lot about cancel culture. This is a classic cancel culture. They are perpetuating that which they argued that they are against.”

LOL, so now Democrats love the Cheneys.
The Big Lie is that the Big Steal wasn’t.
So Democrats think cancel culture is bad now?
Its not Cancel Culture when you rid yourself of someone who cannot lead. Its called representative caucus, the way democracy works.
What nimrods.
What about how the Democrats eventually got rid of pro-life Congressman Dan Lipinski of Illinois?
Thought Dems loved Repubs getting cancelled.
People ought to have a diversity of thought.

He doesn’t believe that.
Co-opting terms. Classic gaslighting from the Left.
Who ever this guy is he might want to get a clue
congressional representatives for us, the electorate. It’s why they’re called representatives. They don’t represent the Bushes nor the obamas nor Trump (who is aware of this) nor The GOP. If the electorate disapproves of the representative’s actions then they are out
They ran out all of the “Scoop Jackson Democrats” years ago.
Liz Cheney isn’t a Republican. She voted Democrat for President in the last 2 elections.
Clyburn is a Clymer. Big Time
They better get used to it. We have only begun! Clyburn will be sterilized as well.
There is nothing "cancel" about it.
She is getting canned for her lies about PDJT.
As in "YOU'RE FIRED."
.
She should switch parties, then see how much she's loved.
Translation, the Democrats need her in there.
There are thing we can learn from the Rats. We must use all options in this war
You betcha, Mr. CollideBurn, it IS Cancel Culture.
Good over Evil.
CollideBurn should check it out, sometime.
Well, Jimbo. What’s stopping you from inviting her to join your party?
If Clyburn is against it I’m for it and if he’s for it, I’m against it.
I don’t even need to know the issue.
