Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming called out two members of her party who spoke at an event organized by White nationalist Nick Fuentes.
"As Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling," Cheney tweeted Saturday.
"All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now," she added.
Greene, a Georgia Republican, spoke at the America First Political Action Committee's conference in Orlando, Florida, on Friday -- an event founded by the far-right activist Fuentes as an alternative to the annual Conservative Political Action Committee, which is taking place this week.
Gosar appeared at the conference via a pre-recorded video, HuffPost reported. The Arizona Republican attended the same conference last year, and Cheney was the only member of House GOP leadership to directly call him out over it at the time.
Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who, like Cheney, has been increasingly marginalized within the GOP after criticizing former President Donald Trump's hold on the party, also made his criticism known, tweeting Saturday at Greene, "If this was not bizarro world, you would be the one censured and excommunicated from the GOP."
Fuentes, who has been labeled a White supremacist by the US Justice Department and the Anti-Defamation League, has been banned from most major social media platforms for his White nationalist rhetoric.
After Russian forces invaded Ukraine this week, Fuentes wrote on the messaging app Telegram, "I am totally rooting for Russia," while also referring to Russian leader Vladimir Putin as "my Czar."
And the Republican Jewish Coalition took aim at Greene and Gosar for associating with Fuentes.

Bush League Republicans want you all back on the plantation voting for amnesty candidates.
A "white nationalist event", declares the Post-Gazette.
There is nothing wrong with being white
FOAD Liz.
CNN is in the byline, so I’m guessing that’s their doing.
"White Nationalist, White Nationalist, White Nationalist"
So once again Hispanics are white people, and not only are they white they are RACISTS!!!
Hispanics are so convenient for the racial entrepreneurs.
They can be a white devil when you need a white devil, or an innocent minority victim when you need an innocent minority victim.
Liz is ready to step down as a footnote in history.
What did she say about Biden when came out and pledged to nominate a Black woman to replace retiring U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer?
Not seeing how a guy named Fuentes could be a “white nationalist”...an idiot, yes, and a Putin buttkisser, but the name sounds Latino to me. They should just stick with criticizing them for associating with a Putanista idiot.
I call out Lizzard for associating with communist insurrectionists who tried to overthrow President Donald Trump. She has committed treason, and so have many more.
Shaddup, Lizard-breath.
Exactly. Picking a supreme court justice because of their skin color or sex rather than just merit is every bit as prejudicial as being a Latino who runs a “white nationalist” group.
Isn’t Black Lives Matter a “black nationalist group?” How about Hillary’s pals the Black Panthers?
I will be so glad when Liz goes in the trash bin of history, becomes a paid commentator on Fox News, and can be further ignored.
It wasn't until George Zimmerman that the phrase, "white Hispanic" was ever heard out loud in public discourse. I won't hold my breath for a logical defense of this torture of the English language.
I'll just keep an ear open for the eventual use of 'white Indian' or 'white oriental.'
Only white people are nationalists, you know.
