3:41Now PlayingOn Monday, Republican Representative Liz Cheney called out the leadership of her own party for, as she states it, enabling white nationalism and all other forms of hate. She isn't wrong, but her role in the party can also not be denied, either. The entire Party is responsible for what the Party has become, and as long as they call themselves Republicans, they will continue to share the blame. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Following the multiple tragedies this past weekend, but of course, the racially motivated one in New York, Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney took to Twitter yesterday and called out her own party for enabling white nationalism here in the United States. Here is what Liz Cheney had to say on Twitter. The house G O P leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and antisemitism history has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse, G O P leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them strong words, correct words, by the way, I am not arguing one bit with what Liz Chaney has to say here, except for one part of it. She only called out G O P leadership. And I guess to an extent, right, that that is true. You know, because the leadership kind of dictates what happens here. But at the same time, Liz, this applies to everybody who still sits there with an R next to their name.
If you are a Republican, this is who you are. If you're voting with Republicans, this is who you are. This is what you've decided is acceptable. You may go out there, you make your statements. You say, oh, this is so bad. I don't like this. You people are horrible now, what are we gonna vote on today? Right? We're all in sync here. Okay, cool. That's what happens folks. That's what happens behind the scenes. So these same people that Liz Chaney is out there calling white supremacists in her own party. And we all know the people she's talking about, right? Especially with the antisemitism she's directing at people like Marjorie Taylor green, you know, Matt gates himself has said in this tweet, resurface yesterday, that Tucker Carlson was right about the great replacement theory. Those are the people she's calling out, but those are also the people that she caucuses with. Goes back there behind closed doors has meetings with them where they all get together and find out how they're all going to vote on the issues.
So you can denounce them. You can condemn them all you want on Twitter. You can go out there, get your media appearances, clearly get your name in headlines with everybody saying, yay, Liz Cheney. You're taking 'em on. No, she is not. These are her friends. These are her allies. These are the people that she has chosen to align herself with. She is not a hero. Never has been. She's a Cheney folks. Let's stop trying to elevate this individual just because she hates the same person. We hate that. That's not comradery. We have a common enemy, not a common goal. Keep that in mind. Somebody I had seen months ago said that on Twitter, about somebody else. And that line has stuck with me. We have a common enemy, but not a common goal. Remember that be about
People like Liz Chaney. Remember it about people like Adam Kininger because when the day is done, they're still Republicans. They still refuse to leave that party even with as racist and hate-filled, as it has become, they still look at it and say, yep, that's my home. And that's who I am.
