On Monday, Cheney claimed, without evidence, members of GOP House leadership where she was expelled last May are enablers of white supremacy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and antisemitism,\u201d Cheney <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Liz_Cheney\/status\/1526159124840558592?s=20&#038;t=or1raxfp1NiKX8VHiidajQ\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter. \u201cHistory has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.

Moments before the killing spree, in which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgrz.com\/article\/news\/crime\/what-we-know-tops-shooting-victims-buffalo-mass-shooting\/71-30ad7b83-6732-4780-8f0d-ce6d5f656752\">majority<\/a> of victims were black, the white shooter published an online \u201cmanifesto\u201d airing antisemitic grievances in 180 pages where he also showcased anxiety over \u201creplacement.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The racial circumstances of the tragedy make the event ripe for leftists and their allies in the corporate media and government to stoke their <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/23\/rittenhouse-coverage-showcases-left-wing-obsession-with-stoking-race-wars\/\">routine race war<\/a>, smearing political dissidents as complicit in the latest episode of domestic terrorism. Those allies now include Cheney, whose competitive re-election campaign has been <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/27\/occupy-democrats-endorses-liz-cheney\/\">endorsed<\/a> by Occupy Democrats and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/14\/lincoln-project-donors-are-bankrolling-liz-cheney\/\">funded<\/a> by the Lincoln Project. <\/p>\n<p>Corporate outlets that were <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/29\/as-more-victims-fight-for-their-lives-did-corporate-media-already-forget-the-waukesha-murders\/\">quick to move on<\/a> from the Waukesha Christmas Massacre last fall \u2014 when a black suspect <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/24\/suspect-charged-in-waukesha-tragedy-called-for-violence-against-white-people\/\">motivated by anti-white racism<\/a> allegedly rammed an SUV through a holiday parade, brutally killing at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/11\/23\/us\/waukesha-car-parade-crowd-tuesday\/index.html\">six<\/a> \u2014 have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/the-left-blames-tucker-carlson-for-buffalo-shooting-as-a-censorship-excuse\">even quicker<\/a> to place blame for this weekend\u2019s New York shooting on Fox News.  <\/p>\n<p>The New York Times ran a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/05\/15\/us\/replacement-theory-shooting-tucker-carlson.html\">2,000-word piece<\/a> Sunday tying the Buffalo attack to the modern Republican Party, Fox News, and the network\u2019s lead prime-time host, Tucker Carlson. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy his own account, the Buffalo suspect, Payton S. Gendron, followed a lonelier path to radicalization, immersing himself in replacement theory and other kinds of racist and antisemitic content easily found on internet forums, and casting Black Americans, like Hispanic immigrants, as \u2018replacers\u2019 of white Americans,\u201d the Times wrote. \u201cNo public figure has promoted replacement theory more loudly or relentlessly than the Fox host Tucker Carlson, who has made elite-led demographic change a central theme of his show since joining Fox\u2019s prime-time lineup in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Never mind that the \u201cmanifesto\u201d from the weekend shooting\u2019s suspect <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/15\/payton-gendrons-manifesto-featured-anti-semitic-fox-news-meme\/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&#038;utm_source=NYPTwitter&#038;utm_campaign=SocialFlow\">showcased<\/a> his own contempt for conservatism and Fox News while never mentioning Carlson. <\/p>\n<p>That didn\u2019t stop other outlets from following suit, capitalizing on the episode to amplify their predetermined narrative that the Republican Party, its leadership, and rival networks are to blame for another episode of politically motivated violence. The Washington Post targeted House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik in particular, who replaced Cheney in GOP leadership a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStefanik echoed racist theory allegedly espoused by Buffalo suspect,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/05\/15\/stefanik-buffalo-replacement\/\">headlined<\/a> the paper, referring to the New York congresswoman\u2019s objections to unchecked immigration \u2014 legitimate concerns that were even given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2013\/04\/immigration-reform-could-upend-electoral-college-090478?hp=t1\">credence<\/a> by Politico.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik was indicted by the Post as a lawmaker captured by \u201cReplacement Theory,\u201d an idea declared conspiracy by legacy media hellbent on smearing Republicans who merely repeat the open desires of left-wing activists. Former Trump communications adviser Michael Anton <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmind.org\/salvo\/thats-not-happening-and-its-good-that-it-is\/\">outlined<\/a> the irony as \u201cThe Celebration Parallax\u201d in the American Mind. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>The Left insists that concerns from certain quarters that immigration policy in America (and Europe) amounts to a \u2018great replacement\u2019 is a \u2018dangerous,\u2019 \u2018evil,\u2019 \u2018racist,\u2019 \u2018false\u2019 \u2018conspiracy theory.\u2019 But a leftist New York Times columnist can write an article entitled \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/10\/29\/opinion\/stacey-abrams-georgia-governor-election-brian-kemp.html\">We Can Replace Them<\/a>\u2018 and \u2026 nothing. Same fundamental point, except she\u2019s all for it and her targets aren\u2019t. A U.S. Senator can <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehill\/status\/1417216673602547713?s=20&#038;t=ffxav4HxwFRocGTTLPTtIg\">exult<\/a> that demographic change will doom Republicans. Joe Biden himself can refer to an \u2018unrelenting stream of immigration.\u2019 Except they\u2019re celebrating it and calling for it. Anyone on the Right who uses the exact same words will not merely be denounced; the very fact pattern that is affirmed when Biden says it will be denied when the Rightist repeats it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The knee-jerk reaction to cast anyone on the right as agitators of extremist violence \u2014 nuance be darned and leftist attacks be whitewashed when the profile of the suspect and the victims don\u2019t fit the right demographics \u2014 has now drawn Cheney as new recruit, adopting the left\u2019s double standards.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney joined the media chorus to smear opponents in leadership as responsible for spilled blood in Buffalo despite the fact that House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., was almost killed by a leftist \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2017\/06\/14\/congressional-shooter-bernie-bro-joined-terminate-republican-party-facebook-group\/\">Bernie Bro<\/a>\u201d five years ago who wanted to \u201cterminate the Republican Party.\u201d But yes, Liz Cheney wants you to think that Scalise is a cheerleader for extremist violence.<\/p>\n<p>Wyoming\u2019s sole representative was coopted by Democrats last summer when she enthusiastically accepted a request from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vice chair the Select Committee on Jan. 6. Cheney\u2019s appointment replaced Republicans selected by GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who were barred from fulfilling their congressional service by the speaker. <\/p>\n<p>One of 10 Republicans in the lower chamber who supported former President Donald Trump\u2019s second impeachment, Cheney has carved out antagonism of Republican voters as a hallmark of her time in Congress. <\/p>\n<p>Cheney faces a primary challenge from Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman in August. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
