REP. CHENEY ACCUSES TRIBES OF “DESTROYING OUR WESTERN WAY OF LIFE” OVER SACRED GRIZZLY PROTECTIONS BY NATIVE NEWS ONLINE STAFF / CURRENTS / 01 AUG 2019

RIVERTON, Wyo. — On a momentous day for Tribal Nations, Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY), the House Republican Conference Chairwoman, stated that the successful litigation by tribes and environmentalists to return the grizzly bear in Greater Yellowstone to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) “was not based on science or facts” but motivated by plaintiffs “intent on destroying our Western way of life.”

One of the largest tribal-plaintiff alliances in recent memory prevailed in the landmark case, Crow Tribe et al v. Zinke last September, when US District Judge Dana Christensen ruled in favor of the tribes and environmental groups after finding that the Trump Administration’s US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) had failed to abide by the ESA and exceeded its authority in attempting to remove federal protections from the grizzly. Tuesday, USFWS officially returned federal protections to the grizzly.

[katmondoo]

4. Liz! your Daddy did a good job of destroying the east and the west first.

[DBoon]

2. Western way of life?

Does that mean "shoot anything that moves"?

[Dennis Donovan]

7. It's white supremacist code...

[Pachamama]

13. I agree

[kwassa]

20. Absolutely

[stopdiggin]

12. anti-government

it's basic anti-government crap .. except if you take a knee during the anthem (and then you're a pinko, commie, fag) .. note, I didn't say anything about a rational point of view.

[Retrograde]

22. After stripping all the oil and minerals

dumping the debris into the rivers and streams, and letting someone else clean up their messes. And overgrazing their cattle on public lands.

Yeah, I think this is the Cheney view of "the western way of life"

[handmade34]

3. clueless

or incredibly vile...

[Mrs. Overall]

5. Dog whistle to white supremacists who are trying to "save Western civilization."

[malaise]

10. LOL

[fierywoman]

9. And the Indian way of life that was destroyed by those nice white folk? {{sarcasm}}

[gratuitous]

11. Here's another way to look at it, Liz

The government tried to shortcut its own established regulations, exceeded its authority, got caught, and were ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to knock that shit off. If by "Western way of life," you meant to say "Attempting to subvert the rule of law," then okay. But just say that, would you?

14. Liz Cheney goes all-in on Trump's racism: Meet the future of the Republican Party

It's become conventional wisdom among the punditocracy that former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador Nikki Haley is on track to be the first woman Republican presidential nominee. She's one of the few members of the Trump administration to escape with their reputations more or less intact, even having gotten away with publicly disagreeing with the president from time to time and remaining in his good graces.

There have been persistent rumors that now that he knows the conservative evangelical voters are his most loyal Christian soldiers, Trump has been thinking about dropping his sycophantic wingman, Vice President Mike Pence, in favor of the charismatic Haley as his re-election running mate. Some people believe having her on the ticket might be helpful since so many women in this country are violently repelled by him.

In a sane world, Haley would be an obvious choice for either spot on a GOP ticket. She is a Southerner, and she's accomplished and experienced while also being anti-feminist and very conservative. As the daughter of Indian immigrants, she is also a woman of color, which not too long ago was considered an asset for a party that boasts very few nonwhite members and is in desperate need of somehow refuting the notion that it has become a de facto white nationalist political party in a country that is more and more diverse. After Mitt Romney's loss to Barack Obama in 2012, the GOP did a full post mortem — driven largely by then-House Speaker Paul Ryan — that concluded the party needed to do serious outreach to minority voters or risk becoming a permanent minority itself.

But then Trump happened. And now the party couldn't refute its white nationalist ideology even if it tried, or more to the point even if it wanted to. Over the course of the last few days, the president and his accomplices in the Congress and throughout the rest of the GOP leadership have demonstrated that they are all in. Haley has had nothing to say about Trump's repeated racist rants on twitter and TV about the four Democratic congresswomen going "back to where they came from" because they "hate America." Her only tweet since it started was the following vague irrelevance on Sunday morning.

18. Liz, Liz, Liz....

The Nations are not intent on destroying the Western way of life....they are just intent on destroying YOUR way of life.

Why don't you take a trip to Yellowstone and study those Grizzles up close??

19. Coming from the party abusing children

Working for Putin, siding with people who traffic child sex rings, money laundering, and protect other leaders who murder people.

21. Wyoming's population entitles them to just one Representative...

but two Senators. I'm sure Liz is planning to become one of the Senators at her earliest opportunity. It would be way less expensive than buying your kid's way into Stanford or USC.

Please tell me how can we stop her. Apparently, being the daughter of a war criminal is not a deterrent.
