Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday tied the “dangerous” House GOP chaos to former President Donald Trump’s behavior and the Republicans supporting him.
“I wish that it were surprising. You know, what we’ve seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6. And, you know, 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,” Cheney told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Her comments come amid the House GOP’s high-stakes speakership battle after McCarthy was ousted more than two weeks ago. Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday became the latest to exit the race, prompting a crowded candidate field to seek the speakership.
Trump is merely a symptom, the disease is the radicalization of the Republican party and it’s voters.
The disease is unlimited money in politics.
There are billionaires who were already radicalized to this level. They’re just pouring their fortunes into bringing everyone else into their fold, too.
Remember 15 years ago when Republicans finally stopped going after LGBTQ folks, and how that slowly started to erode after Citizens United? It is not coincidental. There are evangelist billionaires whose only concern in the world is a regressive future, and that’s bad for everybody.
The disease is racism, it doesn’t go deeper than that
Weird comment to post in reply to something about LGBTQ+ discrimination. Are you implying that America’s right isn’t loaded with homophobes?
Akshually…the disease is deez
That’s just nuts!
True, he’s an extremely malignant tumor, not the underlying cancer. As with literal cancer, though, the tumor will still kill you…
