Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Tuesday responded to President Donald Trump’s racist tweets by suggesting that Democrats are baby killers if they support abortion.

At a press conference at the Capitol, Republican leaders — including Cheney — refused to condemn Trump’s tweets which suggested that four Democratic congresswomen of color should go back to their home country even though all four are American citizens.


Instead of calling the tweets racists, Cheney branded Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar (MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ayanna Pressley (MA) and Rashida Tlaib (MI) as “socialists.”


“This is the greatest nation that has ever existed,” Cheney said. “The exceptional nation and they are wrong when they fail to recognize that no people have ever lived in greater freedom.

“Our colleagues, our socialist colleagues on the other side of the aisle are wrong when they advocate abortion up until the moment of birth including partial term abortion, late term abortion and when they refuse to mandate care for babies who are born alive,” she continued, refusing to directly address the president’s tweets................................

She is an awful, awful woman. Like Ivanka, she has closed her eyes to her father's horribleness.

A Cheney spreading lies and fostering hate? Really, a Cheney? Must be a family thing.

Sorry, Liz, but the last Republican claims to decency were shattered by Orange Julius and his little helpers—of which you are one.

Oh, you mean Cheney's little girl! Couldn't stand Dick and can't stand Liz. They are both poster children for the new tRump party.

16. Is lying inherited or learned?

...an embarrassment to my state! Quit blatantly lying about a women’s right to choose! Plus your dear leader is a blatant racist, and blindly supporting him puts you in the same category!

How much did her baby-killing republican party fight for living baby Sun Hudson's life when he was deliberately killed by the state of Texas, against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state?

Republican governor, republican president.

[rockfordfile]

22. That comes from a person whose father is a war criminal. A fascist un-American pos.

23. yuk, she looks so much like Dick

[madaboutharry]

24. How does someone end up seeing the world this way?

Is it genetic or is it learned?

Daily life must be terrible for people who live in such a negative and ugly emotional space.

26. Dick Cheny's Evil Spawn Spews Venomous Lies & Hatred

She is daddy’s girl, through and through.

[BlueIdaho]

27. It's in her DNA...

She, by nature and nurture, has a heart filled with hate. It’s just par for the course for anyone raised in the cesspool that is right wing GOP philosophy. Having Dick as a daddy only makes her burn with more hatred and seek more cruelty.

[no_hypocrisy]

28. Classic logical fallacy of begging the question.

[kimbutgar]

29. Too bad the people of Wyoming are so stupid to elect her in the first place

She will nothing for the people but give tax breaks to the rich in Wyoming,

[Hekate]

30. Daddy's evil spawn

[solara]

31. Every single word that came out of Ms Cheney's

nasty, bigoted, racist mouth was a lie. And it sure seemed that she spoke the lies without caring or even being aware they were lies. Every word was poison, like her father's words, like McConnell's words and the words of most other republicans. It is so distressing, so heart breaking to see where our country is going with the tyrant trump in the lead.

They all just lie with impunity like their leader and there is no one to call them on it.

I used to be cautiously optimistic, but I seemed to have lost most of that optimism by the wayside. What has happened? How did we get here? What can be done?

[jmowreader]

32. When Trump started killing babies on the southern border, the GOP lost its right to use this term

[beachbum bob]

33. Liz sees no problem, same with most republicans

Why do we care? We know the enemy and we have just one avenue, to beat them into submission. No longer about getting sling, or working together. I view the opposition like I view Nazis, give them no quarter except unconditional surrender. Time to take it to them and quit pussyfooting around. Otherwise we prove what republicans have always said democrats are...

[JDC]

34. She is racist scum and embraces this direction

More will "come out if the closet" rest assured. They will go full blown, overtly racist as the election nears. That will be the platform.

35. The welfare for the wealthy line from Wall Street to the Potomac.

War, Inc lives.

36. she is a very, very ugly person

she does her daddy proud

[bucolic_frolic]

37. That's a tired old button you push, Swamp Lizard

Move aside, there's a new energy as Democrats smell blood in all these GOP Scandals!

[Brainfodder]

39. If you think I am paying attention to another Cheney....

HELL - O



NO!

[Politicub]

40. We are witnessing the implosion of the GOP. They are starting to unravel.

Cheney is so ignorant. So out of touch.

Her words come across as gibberish. It’s as if she believes the GOP has any moral authority about the care of babies.

Liz, your party is the one that takes a baby from it’s mother’s arms and puts it in a warehouse, locking it away in a cage. Don’t patronize us. Everyone is on to you now.

[politicaljunkie41910]

41. Poor Liz, trying so hard to remain relevant in a world where Trump is sucking up all the oxygen.

[Demonaut]

42. she has her fathers good looks

bone deep

[DeminPennswoods]

43. Nicolle Wallace referred to her as part

of the "dark underbelly" of America. Despite not saying his name, she didn't exactly exonerate Dick Cheney either which was kind of surprising given she worked in the GW Bush WH.
