Former No. 3 House Republican Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) recirculated Rep. Elise Stefanikās (R-N.Y.) statement on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack after the current House GOP Conference Chair reportedly deleted it off her website.
ā¦
On Saturday morning, Cheney posted on X that she was informed that Stefanik deleted her statement about Jan. 6 where she called for the Jan. 6 perpetrators to be prosecuted āto the fullest extent of the law.ā Cheney also shared the screenshot of Stefanikās statement.
In her statement on the Capitol riot, Stefanik characterized the violence as āanti-Americanā and called it a ātragic.ā
ā¦
Stefanik has since changed the way she describes those who stormed the Capitol.
During an appearance on NBCās āMeet the Pressā in early January, she stated she had āconcerns about the treatment of Jan. 6 hostages.ā
Thereās a limit to how much bullshit people will buy and for how long.
Itās taking longer than weād like, but the Trumpism of the Republican party has an expiration date. Over time, more and more people bend toward reality.
And then theyāll pretend like they didnāt support him all along. That he was a āfringeā candidate that somehow won the nomination and presidency, but was not a true Republicanā¦
Correct, in ten years you wonāt find anyone who voted for him. Just a fever dreamā¦
Naw, their go-to plan so far has just been to find someone worse, so that the previous terrible president doesnāt look so bad in hindsight.
The line is going to be āat least he wasnāt smart or organized enough to do a successful coupā as the next candidate does one.
Itās the Overton window, and theyāve been pushing it hard since Nixon.
Or his reputation will fade and get rehabbed like Reagan and Dubya, especially when the next Republican administration is monstrous in new and terrible ways.
Dunno man. The maganuts seem to be able to inhale the goddamn ocean.
Even the oceans end. Maybe sooner than weād like in some respects.
