Republicans must denounce ‘big lie’ and uphold democracy (hurl alert)
Washington Post ^ | January 9th 2022 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 01/11/2022 4:31:26 PM PST by Ennis85

The tableau of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and her father, former vice president Richard B. Cheney, standing on the floor of the House as the sole Republicans to honor the police officers who died as a result of the Jan. 6 insurrection should be seared into the minds of voters and reporters. It perfectly depicted a Republican Party utterly devoid of leadership, decency and honesty. (Apparently, Republicans no longer respect the “blue line.”)

The moment was a reminder that we have one “normal,” patriotic party and one overtaken by an authoritarian cult based on lies. The notion of reforming the GOP from within has become farcical. But the Cheney family must not be the only Republican soldiers for democracy.

There are others. Start with the six former defense secretaries who are either Republicans or served under a Republican president and wrote alongside the elder Cheney and three Democratic former Pentagon chiefs in a Jan. 3, 2021, op-ed warning about the need for a seamless transfer of power and reminding the country that the military is loyal only to the Constitution. “The time for questioning the results has passed,” they wrote. “The time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived.” They correctly read the tea leaves and stepped forward to defend the rule of law and the sanctity of elections.

Other Republicans have done their part. Former president George W. Bush warmly congratulated the president-elect soon after the election and defended the integrity of the election. As he said at the time: “The American people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair, its integrity will be upheld and its outcome is clear.”

11/04 & 1/6 was a senseless transfer of power.

From the paper that won a Pulitzer prize for the Russian collusion hoax.

Will New York Times, Washington Post return Pulitzer for misleading Russia collusion stories?

Okay. I fully and completely repudiate The Big Lie. I have seen absolutely nothing at all to make me believe that Josef Robinette Biden actually got 81 MILLION legitimate votes in the early morning of 4 November, 2020.

Republicans need to get some courage and expunge: Jennifer Rubin, Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney and the Bushes.

LOL! The suggestion that the Democrat Party is "patriotic" is a joke. The Democrat Party hasn't been patriotic for a very, very long time. They claim to support the Constitution then do everything in their power to undermine it.

Rubin needs to pull her head out of Biden's rear.

The only person murdered, shot, and killed that day was an unarmed Air Force Veteran named Ashli Babbitt.

I denounce the big lie daily. The big lie is that Biden won in a fair and free election.

" . . . to honor the police officers who died as a result of the Jan. 6 insurrection . . . "

No officers died as the result of the "insurrection." But BLM killed five Dallas cops a few years ago.
