Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is urging Republicans to “make clear” they are not the “party of white supremacy.”

During a Reagan Institute event Tuesday, Cheney reminded Republicans why it is so important to denounce white supremacy in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

She expressed her support for the creation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate the insurrection.

“It’s very important for us to ignore the temptation to look away,” Cheney said. “It’s very important, especially for us as Republicans, to make clear that we aren’t the party of white supremacy. You certainly saw anti-Semitism, you saw the symbols of Holocaust denial, for example, at the Capitol that day.”

She added, “You saw a Confederate flag being carried through the Rotunda. And I think we as Republicans, in particular, have a duty and an obligation to stand against that, to stand against insurrection.”

Watch her remarks below (starting at 25:00):

During her remarks to the Cheyenne Rotary Club last week, Cheney said there is “anti-semitism” and “white supremacy” on both sides, as IJR reported.

“Independence is the idea that our constitutional rights come from God. I think that it’s very important for us, at the same time, to be clear that we reject some of the most outrageous, extreme and indefensible positions that we’ve seen,” she said.

Cheney continued, “We’ve seen anti-Semitism, white supremacy, Holocaust denial, by people both on the right in the Republican Party and by people on the left in the Democratic Party.”

She was one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the insurrection, as IJR reported.

The Wyoming Republican Party slammed Cheney for her vote in a statement saying, “We as a Party respect our elected officials and assume that they will respect and represent their constituents. We are receiving the message loud and clear that what happened yesterday is a true travesty for Wyoming and the country.”
