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.

“Where is this white supremacy? Where is this white privilege? Where are these evil white bigots?”

You know the insane lib answer. “It is YOU — you are blind to it.” They liken us to a fish living in water and not even knowing it is in water.

Seems like everything I hear from the legacy media and leftist politicians is about “White Supremacy”

Could it actually be that Caucasians are indeed superior?

If 87% of the population were African and 13% white, would things be better?

They’ve really got me thinking.

“WS” is a racial epithet.

“White supremacy” is just rebranding of “racism”. Except it is racism itself since it mentions a race.

Would it be great if a prominent Democrat announced that the party must rid itself of socialism?

This isn't good enough for you, Liz?

"and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally."

President Donald Trump, August 15, 2017

Well then Cheney set the example and bury yourself in a pit of flesh eating ants.

Liz Cheney is talking about “white supremacy” because she is following the orders of her donors-not her constituents. Anyone who knows the demographics of Wyoming would know this is political suicide for Liz Cheney. She is probably aiming for a cushy lobbyist position inside the Beltway, since she doesn’t have a prayer of winning the next election.

The RATS are scared witless at the record percentage of votes that Trump got with minorities. That's what's up with all the hysterical race card screeching. Once that damn breaks wide open it's over for them.

Tackle real problems? NO. Tackle horsesh*t and solve a problem that never existed. Why YES! The democrats do it all the time and they get constantly elected.

It’s all pretend and play with these people.

“make clear we aren’t the party of white supremacy.”

Translation: “make clear that we are as hostile to white people as the Democrats are.”

We can all ignore reality and try to say that most white people don’t vote Republican and that most Republican voters are white. Liz Cheney is not satisfied with playing that game. She, like Kevin Williamson at National Review, would prefer that white people simply die off.

She needs to step down to show she’s serious about rejecting White supremacy.

Ok Liz, as a White Republican and thus inherently a "White Supremacist" I expect you will resign immediately.
