Will the real pro-life senators please stand up?Will the real pro-life senators please stand up?Republican Rep. Liz Cheney claims that 'The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism'
GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming on Monday accused House Republican leadership of enabling racism.
"The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. @GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them," Cheney tweeted.
In response to Cheney's post, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele tweeted, "Word."
"She's right, you know... " leftist MSNBC host Joy Reid tweeted..
"My colleague has it right," Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. of New Jersey tweeted. "You can draw a direct line from the dangerous rhetoric and incitement of trump and gop leaders and the violence of rampaging neo-nazis, militia maniacs, Capitol insurrectionists and other rightwing domestic terrorists."

Cheney's tweet came after a white 18-year-old man perpetrated a shooting on Saturday at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. The attack left 10 people dead, all of whom were black — three others people were wounded, including two white people and one black person, according to the Associated Press. The individual has been arraigned on a murder charge, but has pleaded not guilty.
"How do we know Liz Cheney is correct?" Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California tweeted. "Because @GOPLeader refuses to condemn white replacement theory, which radicalized Buffalo murderer. And MAGA Republican @EliseStefanik ran ads promoting the vile, racist and anti-Semitic replacement theory."
In a statement, Stefanik senior adviser Alex deGrasse has rejected the idea that Stefanik ever promoted racism.
"Any implication or attempt to blame the heinous shooting in Buffalo on the Congresswoman is a new disgusting low for the Left, their Never Trump allies, and the sycophant stenographers in the media," deGrasse said in the statement. "Despite sickening and false reporting, Congresswoman Stefanik has never advocated for any racist position or made a racist statement."

Last year, Cheney was kicked out of a House leadership role. The congresswoman was one of the 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching then-President Donald Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. In May, 2021, the outspoken Trump critic was was ousted from her role as House Republican conference chair. Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York was later selected to fill the slot.
Cheney and GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois are the only two Republicans serving on the House select committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6 episode. The congresswoman, who has served in the House since 2017, is seeking re-election, but Trump has endorsed challenger Harriet Hageman who is vying to defeat Cheney in the GOP primary.
Cheney is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who served alongside President George W. Bush.
'If she's woman enough': Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears lays down challenge to Joy Reid over 'white nationalism' claims
Virginia's lieutenant governor-elect, Republican Winsome Sears, laid down a challenge to MSNBC's Joy Reid Wednesday night, daring the progressive news anchor to invite her on her show to have a "real discussion" about race and politics in America.
Reid had claimed during MSNBC's election night coverage that "white nationalism" played a major part in Republicans' sweep of three statewide offices. But those comments didn't sit well with Sears, who on Tuesday became the first black female lieutenant governor in Virginia's history.
"You have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous. This is not a party that is just another political party that disagrees with us on tax policy. At this point, they are dangerous to our national security," Reid said Tuesday night, arguing that Republicans were "stoking" white nationalism.
Speaking with Fox News's Martha MacCallum on Wednesday, Sears responded by daring Reid to raise that argument with her face-to-face.
"I wish Joy Reid would invite me on her show. Let's see if she is woman enough to do that. I would go in a heartbeat, and we will have a real discussion without Joy speaking about me behind my back," Sears blasted. "She talks about white supremacy. Does she know that I ran against a white supremacist? Joy, come on. Get your facts straight and then come talk to me."
Sears doubled down on Twitter, calling Reid's comments "shameful."

Sears, a Marine Corps veteran and naturalized U.S. citizen from Jamaica, delivered a rousing speech Tuesday night after defeating Democrat Hala Ayala, in which she referred to herself as "living proof" of the American dream.
She repeated that same sentiment on Wednesday while criticizing Democratic attempts to divide the country along racial lines.
"We are framing too many issues in terms of race. It continues to divide us. And unfortunately, politicians are using it as a tool because of the things that happened to us historically to advance, I think, their nefarious purposes," she told MacCaullum.
"If we stop looking at race and look at people. You see, I am destroying all of the narratives about race. Look at me! Look at me!" she continued. "I am a heartbeat away from the governorship, in case anything happens to the governor."
"How are you going to tell me I am a victim?" she asked. "And I didn't do anything special to get here, except stay in school and study. I took advantage of the opportunities available here in America."
Sears' victory came as part of a GOP sweep of three statewide offices in Virginia that sent shock waves across the country.
On Tuesday, Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe in the race for governor, and Republican Del. Jason Miyares defeated incumbent Democratic incumbent Mark Herring to become the state's next attorney general.
