House Republican leaders are rebutting accusations from Democrats, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and others that their rhetoric has contributed to white supremacy in light of Saturday’s Buffalo, N.Y., shooting, in which a white shooter targeted Black victims, killing 10 people.

“Same thing Cheney always does, just trying to play a political game when she knows something’s not true,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters Monday evening.

Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) similarly said that those accusing Republicans of racism are “trying to promote their own political agenda.”

Everybody just needs to shut the hell up and let this play out

[God luvs America]

Good to see they spoke out against dumb and dumber

[skeeter]

Well this is a refreshing change from the usual response of republicans p*ssing themselves when racism charges are flying.

[Antoninus]

So sick of the racism allegations. If anything, the Left are the ones doing the race-baiting here. This kid was a socialist freak.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, these days I’m literally shocked they had the functioning
brain cells to figure this out.

[Lazamataz]

They needed to grow some balls. Glad they finally did.

Why was the Waukesha, Wisconsin massacre of 5 people and the injuring of dozens other a one-day news event, while the Buffalo shooting by a mentally ill person is the subject of political rhetoric and wall-to-wall news coverage?
Asking for a friend.

[neverevergiveup]

They need to do much more than reacting, even if appropriately. They need to hang the left by their own petards and point out the incredible degree of racism and hatred being perpetrated/promoted by the left.

Look at the ubiquitous anti-white ‘song’ lyrics.
Look at what is being said in ‘churches’ like ‘Reverend’ Wright's.
Look at what is being perpetuated on BET and likeminded networks.
Look at how the founders of this nation, flawed and human as they were, are vilified as racist slaveowners.
Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

The left is the source of most of the hate in the world.

Why have Cheney and Kinzinger (CIA) not been kicked out of the GOP Caucus?

[Lurkinanloomin]

This is YOUR chosen #3 that is doing this Kevin.

[Lurkinanloomin]

145 GOP House member voted in Feb 2021 for Liz Cheney to lead them.

[Jane Long]

How many voted FOR XiDen’s $40B for his pal, Zelensky?

[Lurkinanloomin]

57 I think.

[packagingguy]

In other news water is wet.

[sten]

if you’re not a nationalist, someone interested in the betterment of the country, then you shouldn’t be in federal govt

being white would be unavoidable ... as would any other color, which only matters to racists

[Jane Long]

Too many.

[bantam]

Exactly—- this is our republicuck party!!!

[jersey117]

The bodies weren’t even cold when the rats started politicizing the incident. I hate them ALL.

[Candor7]

CRT says that all white peeps are White Supremacists.

Liz Cheney is acting like one.

[SunkenCiv]

This is a pleasant surprise.
