Been going on for a year

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.

That “Freedom of Speech” is so passe...
Cheney sounds like a white globalist.
Don’t know much about this guy, but it seems that anyone challenging the RINO establishment narrative gets hit with this label, including Trump himself. I guess the next step is to label him a domestic terrorist and put him on the no fly list. It won’t be long before they start rounding up those they consider ‘thought criminals’, freezing their bank accounts, ect. They don’t even bother hiding their fascism any more.
“US Justice Department and the Anti-Defamation League”
“Republican Jewish Coalition”
F all of them, a real team of fascists.
Air to enemies: Illegal immigrants, radical islamic imports, communist globalists, crimminals released and patriots gulaged.
Not any worse than a black nationalists
Traitors must swing.
Sure. But in American usage “Hispanic” doesn’t refer to people from Spain. They are properly called “Spaniards.”
WHITE
By accident of birth
NATIONALIST
By love of country and her founding principles
Something wrong with that?
The Founding Fathers set the treason bar very very high. They understood their English and European history very well, where treason was trotted out to remove political opposition.
The Burr Trial set the bar higher still!
If you make a treason charge easy at some point your side will be accused of it!
You start ‘denouncing’ BLM and all the other race-based crap and then we will see about running around in circles over something like this.
Otherwise stick it up our hypocritical arse
What’s the punishment for her going to be? LOL never mind.
I’m not supportive of Holocaust deniers. I’d need to know what this guy really did that caused him to be labeled as one.
Let’s hope the people of WY have finally figured her out, like the Arkansans did the Clintons.
She is being told what to do and say under threat devastating dirt on her father will be released if she does not.
Gosh, you mean Dick Cheney was as bad as GWB?
If you are a white person of Spanish ancestry, with a Spanish surname, and you check the Hispanic box, who is going to call you out for not being “Hispanic”?
There are people in Mexico and South America who are 100% white, especially among the upper class.
None of those things defines you as smarter than, more ethical than, more spiritual than, wiser, or more deserving than anyone else. That said, all of those things opened doors for you that others have to work much, much, much, much harder to break through - particularly when people of your ilk look down on them and slam doors in their faces.
You need to reassess who you are and make changes - not lecture to the rest of us.
"There are people in Mexico and South America who are 100% white, especially among the upper class."
The traitor wing of the Republican party is alive and well.
