Republican leaders make white supremacy excusable, accuses Liz Cheney

Two days after the racist shooting took place in Buffalo, New York, the former number three Republican in the House of Representatives challenged his party leaders.

While elected Republicans for two days denied accusations that the rhetoric of some of them encouraged racism, Liz Cheney also stoned her former colleagues on Monday by posting her criticisms on Twitter.

The management of [Parti républicain] of the House of Representatives has made white nationalism, white supremacy and anti-Semitism tolerable. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in worse.

A quote from Liz Cheney, Representative from Wyoming

Leaders [républicains] must renounce and reject these opinions and those who defend themadded one who, until nearly a year ago, was part of the Republican high hierarchy in Congress.

Such criticism from a politician who has criticized the Republican leadership since the 2020 presidential election is not surprising in itself. Having been an outcast within her training due to her insistence that the presidential election was not stolen from Donald Trump, Ms. Cheney was even ousted from his position as president of the Republican Conference in the House.

Such an outing by a traditional and conservative politician, the son of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who links the white nationalism claimed by the author of Saturday’s hunt to the attitude of his own political family, is not somehow worthless.

Ms. Cheney was picked up by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who accused her of tweeting division and dangerous lies of the Democrats in an attempt to raise money from Democratic donors to retain his seat. It’s patheticdid he say.

Last February, Marjorie Taylor Greeene and her colleague Paul Gosar participated, with impunity, in a conference organized by a white supremacist.

If Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he was judging awful the conduct of the two members of his caucus, however, he did not impose any retaliation on them.

The “Great Replacement”

The Justice Department described the shooting that killed 10 people at a supermarket in a predominantly African-American area on Saturday as a angry crime and an act ofviolent extremism motivated by racism.

The man identified by law enforcement as the perpetrator of the shooting, Payton Gendron, 18, describes himself as a white supremacist in a 180-page document posted online shortly before the tragedy and considered by authorities and true.

The 18-year-old invokes in his manifest the conspiracy theory of great replacementa far right conspiratorial ideology according to which elites, especially Jews, want to replace the white population in particular by means of immigration.

Once marginal, the idea has now found its way into more conventional right-wing circles, in a reduced version where overt anti-Semitic themes have been evacuated.

Some, including Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger, have pointed to Liz Cheney’s successor, Elise Stefanik.

Did you know that Elise Stefanik advocates the white replacement theory? The number 3 of [Parti républicain] from the room, he wrote on Twitter on Saturday. Liz Cheney, of which she is one of the rare allies caught [de son poste] because he asked the truthhe denounced.

Kevin McCarthy questions about it must be answeredhe wrote, hyperlinking an article criticizing an ad by Ms. campaign team. Stefanik posted in September on Facebook.

Although the ad does not name the theory by name, it does reflect some element of its rhetoric.

Radical Democrats are planning their most aggressive coup: A PERMANENT ELECTION INSURANCE. Their plan to grant amnesty to 11 MILLION illegal immigrants will overthrow our current voters and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington.hammered the advertisement.

This type of message is increasingly being conveyed by elected officials and Republican candidates, as well as by right-wing media, such as Fox News.

A survey of New York Times published earlier this month showed that star host Tucker Carlson is claiming elites and the Democratic camp is trying to force demographic change in more than 400 episodes of his show, the network’s most popular cable news.

According to a poll by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s Center for National Opinion Research released days before the hunt, nearly one-third of Americans believe a group of people are bringing immigrants to the United States. United to replace the so -called Native Americans for political gain. Among Republicans, the proportion climbs to nearly one in two.
