Cheney recirculates Stefanik Jan. 6 statement after she reportedly deletes it
Former No. 3 House Republican Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) recirculated Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) statement on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack after the current House GOP Conference Chair reportedly deleted it off her website.
...
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 “to the fullest extent of the law.” Cheney also shared the screenshot of Stefanik’s statement.
In her statement on the Capitol riot, Stefanik characterized the violence as “anti-American” and called it a “tragic.”
...
Stefanik has since changed the way she describes those who stormed the Capitol.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in early January, she stated she had “concerns about the treatment of Jan. 6 hostages.”
And then they'll pretend like they didn't support him all along. That he was a "fringe" candidate that somehow won the nomination and presidency, but was not a true Republican...
Correct, in ten years you won't find anyone who voted for him. Just a fever dream...
Naw, their go-to plan so far has just been to find someone worse, so that the previous terrible president doesn’t look so bad in hindsight.
The line is going to be “at least he wasn’t smart or organized enough to do a successful coup” as the next candidate does one.
It’s the Overton window, and they’ve 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.
