.MaddowBlog: Liz Cheney has some excellent advice for the party that ousted her from leadership. Whether the GOP intends to follow it is another matter entirely.
Yesterday, in the wake of deadly gun violence over the weekend, Cheney raised the volume on her concerns. NBC NewsRep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Monday accused House GOP leadership of enabling white supremacy and antisemitism, which she suggested has inspired people to act upon those threats, leading to dangerous consequences.
It was over the weekend when a suspected shooter attacked a Buffalo grocery store, killing 10 and wounding three others. The accused gunman posted a hate-filled document online, promoting, among other things, the same “great replacement” conspiracy theory that far too many congressional Republicans have touted in recent months.
