"This is evil lunacy" - Liz Cheney

This was Liz Cheney's response after Margorie Taylor Greene compared the wearing of a mask to the Holocaust. Ms Greene has refused to apologize.

==============


“You know, we can look back at a time in history when people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany,” Greene added in the interview. “And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”


“This is evil lunacy,” Cheney tweeted Saturday morning, along with a clip of Greene’s Friday interview on Real America’s Voice. During the segment, Greene also argued that Pelosi was “mentally ill.”

The Democrats need all the help they can get in this battle to save our democracy as we know it.

What's the old saying?

During the battle and you're in the foxhole, don't get in a argument with the person next to you about religion or politics.

Or something like that.

a smaller room while the 'tourists' ransacked the Capitol on 1/6. Several speculated here that one reason not to wear a mask was to let the 'tourists' know they were on the same team. And some of the 'tourists' reportedly wanted to release gas down in those tunnels. Which makes Greene the Projector de Projectors.

Do you think instituting a torture regime during the Bush II regime might have anything to do with the current evil lunacy? Perhaps you should ask your father about that? Waterboarding? Smearing prisoners with their own shit? Abu Ghraib? The concentration camp at Guantanamo that remains open to this day? Any of this ring a bell for you, Cheney?

She's perfect for GOP House Leadership: say crazy, threatening shit all day, force the Dems (and now Party-of-One Liz Cheney) to waste time responding, prevent actual discussion of policy or legislation from occupying space in the MSM.
