Flake: No greater offense than honesty in today's Republican Party

Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) is calling out GOP lawmakers for their plan to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from the party’s leadership in the House, arguing that “today there is no greater offense than honesty” among Republicans.

“On Wednesday, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will most likely lose her leadership post within the House Republican Conference, not because she has been untruthful. Rather, she will lose her position because she is refusing to play her assigned role in propagating the 'big lie' that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump,” Flake wrote in an op-ed published in The Washington Post.

“Honesty” is another of those virtues that has varying meanings, depending on whom is citing it.

“Truth” and “honor” are two more highly flexible virtues that crop up from time to time. Dumbing definitions down, as they say.

Wow - the projection is strong with this Democrat plant.

Can we, as GOP members, not voice OUR opinions against the GOPe?

Definition of hypocrisy: A RINOscum chastizing the GOP about honesty.

Honesty to RINO’s and media/dems is to deny election fraud.

Flake would not know honesty if it bit him on the ass.

Then it’s clear...Flake should join the Dems, right? Since they are the “truth-tellers”, no?

This is a perfect example of establishment Republican propaganda.

Liz Cheney voted to impeach President Trump for no damn good reason. She never liked him because he exposed the Bush-Cheney Beltway GOP as a bunch of feckless, duplicitous frauds.

She and her establishment GOP sycophants are now running around -- four months later -- sanctimoniously pretending she did it over some kind of principled defense of our "sacred democracy."

I call bullsh!t on all of them. And having some loser like Jeff Flake, who retired from the Senate because he didn't stand a chance in hell of being re-elected with his 20% approval rating, come to her defense is all anyone needs to know about how useless these @ssholes are.
