Liz Cheney calls on GOP to do more to reject "white supremacy"
CBS News via Yahoo ^ | February 23rd, 2021 | Aaron Navarro

Liz Cheney, the third ranking House Republican, on Tuesday called on the Republican party to "make clear we aren't the party of white supremacy." Cheney's remarks came during an event hosted by the Reagan Institute.

"It's very important for us to ignore the temptation to look away," Cheney said. "And it's very important, especially for us as Republicans, to make clear that we aren't the party of white supremacy.

"You certainly saw anti-Semitism. You saw the symbols of Holocaust denial... you saw a Confederate flag being carried through the rotunda," she said, referencing the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. "We, as Republicans in particular, have a duty and an obligation to stand against that, to stand against insurrection."

Cheney has been one of the most vocal Republicans to speak out against the insurrection and what she sees as former President Trump's role in inciting the events of January 6. Cheney on Tuesday voiced support for the creation of a "9/11 type commission" to investigate the assault. She said part of the commission's mandate should be to take a "clear eyed look" into Mr. Trump's and his allies' false allegations of a widespread fraud and a "stolen" election leading up to the attacks.

The voters of Wyoming should reject Nepotism. Malcom Wallop is spinning in his grave. I hope she doesn’t squeek by with under 50% because 6 conservatives all decide to run against her. Does Wyoming have a runoff law?

It’s not stupidity with Liz Cheney, nobody’s that stupid. It’s just evil lies.

If she had opened her ears, she’d know Trump clearly rejected it. She needs to turn off CNN.

I didn’t see examples of anti-Semitism or Holocaust denial, and I saw mostly American flags.

All the Left has is screaming racism and Cheney is a tool. How about naming all this White Supremacy Democrats are obsessed with but never identify? Children are leading our government.

“End White Supremacy”: Destroy Western culture, capitalism and the American Revolution; accept the Marxist state run slave plantation.

The only way I know of is to get rid of democrats. Conservatives are not the ones that think black people are too stupid to get ID, or too stupid to do math, or too stupid to get online or find vaccines distribution centers, or that black businesses can’t succeed unless they are pushed by google, or given special treatment on training and loans, or that any testing or merit based systems always disadvantage blacks every time under every context. Or that they must get special help from white democrats for every aspect of their lives.

Or do I misunderstand the meaning of supremacy?

Now she’s using the Dem talking points. Great!
You know she doesn’t all of a sudden believe that about “rejecting white supremacy”. What white supremacy, where? Dick Cheney probably hears that phrase and has a good chuckle.

This is just another method of trying to inhibit republican boldness of action or of thought.
Just another plea to get things back the way they were before Trump, with most the GOP/Globalists bowing to the demands of the Dems.

Precisely same as she does to be...well....precise

I’m sick of them on the national stage and on this forum

Confederate flag bogeyman....

It’s so silly and likely a false flag op at the capital with the confederate flag....I mean if I wouldn’t bring one to a Trump rally why would ANYONE?

STFU...please. Seriously, where do these people come from?

Almost every single one of the people representing us are dumb as rocks. The Senate is even worse.

Murkowski, Collins, etc. Both sides. Total friggin losers.

This lady is crazy.

The face of the GOP.

Liz should lead by example and immediately resign in favor of someone who is not white. Otherwise, she is a “white supremacist” ipso facto.

You certainly saw anti-Semitism.

I see lots of it in the Democrat Party.

She’s a living breathing database of all the liberal catch phrases and talking points, like a good little RINO

I know what it means to hate Jews, I know Anti-Semitism.

This bull*hit narrative of the Republican Establishment that began with the elected Republicans in Idaho back in December aimed at pro-Trump, anti-mask mandate protesters grieves my soul.

The Neoconservative Establishment exemplified by Liz Cheney only wants to advance its policy agenda at any cost including the smearing of its opponents at haters and racists and Anti-Semites.

The real Jew-haters and Jew-baiters are drunk and crazy people often under the influence of drugs or in my case alcohol.

We need sobriety and sanity to get rid of racism not politics.
