Liz Cheney Must Explain Why She Thinks The GOP Is A White Supremacist Party
Cheney has defamed tens of millions of Republicans as white supremacists. I want to see her evidence.
The Federalist, Feb 24, 2024, David Marcus

Rep. Liz Cheney seems to think the Republican Party is the party of white supremacy. She is so convinced of this that she feels the GOP needs to make clear this is not the case. CNN and other progressive outlets could barely contain their joy. Here is how the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party down in Atlanta covered Cheney’s remarks: “In a speech on Tuesday in Washington, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said something remarkable.”

“It’s very important, especially for us as Republicans, to make clear that we aren’t the party of white supremacy,” she said at an event at the Reagan Institute. Of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Cheney added: “You certainly saw antisemitism. You saw the symbols of Holocaust denial. … You saw a Confederate flag being carried through the rotunda. We, as Republicans in particular, have a duty and an obligation to stand against that, to stand against insurrection.”

It is important to understand that the mere fact that Cheney is spewing this nonsense is an obvious invitation to the left to conclude that the GOP is racist. Just the fact that she is raising the question, they say, is evidence that something deeply wrong is afoot. But in fact, Cheney’s claims are utterly baseless, and quite frankly, if she really believes the GOP is a racist party, the moral thing to do is to quit the party immediately.

If Cheney really believes that huge swaths of Republicans are white supremacists, she should provide evidence today. Right now in fact. Does she think the record number of Hispanic voters who pulled the lever for Trump are so stupid as to vote for white supremacy? It would seem so. How remarkably condescending.

Cheney’s words are the very definition of useful idiocy. She knows very well exactly how her comments will be used. She knows they will be used to smear her colleagues and any American who dares to speak out against the excesses of the left. She doesn’t care because she foolishly thinks it will help her politically. It won’t.
