Cheney: McCarthy Has Empowered White Supremacists

“What we’ve seen is a result of the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6.

“Looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we’ve seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the house, including Jim Jordan. elevating those members, frankly, some of whom are white supremacists.

“Some of whom are anti-semitic, and a number of whom were involved directly in the attempt to seize power and overturn the election. Those have become part of our politics in a way that certainly they never should.

“That kind of acceptance of violence is completely inappropriate and dangerous in our politics. I think you would certainly have to trace it back, in its modern version, to Donald Trump.” – Liz Cheney, today on CNN.
