Scrutiny of Republicans who embrace ‘great replacement theory’ after Buffalo massacre
GuardianSep 09, 2022
The Facts
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) took to Twitter on Mon. to accuse House Republican leadership of enabling "white nationalism, white supremacy, and antisemitism," and urge them to "renounce and reject these views and those who hold them."
Her comments come days after ten Black Americans were murdered in a Buffalo, NY supermarket in what authorities are investigating as a racially-motivated mass shooting.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
These divisive and hateful ideas are core to the messaging of today's GOP. Look no further than Rep. Stefanik (R-NY), the Chairwoman of the House Republican Caucus, who "doubled down" on the rhetoric of the "Great Replacement Theory" in a series of Facebook ads in the aftermath of the Buffalo shooting.
Republican narrative
RINOs like Liz Cheney have teamed up with the radical left, open-border, globalist Democrats, and their sycophantic partners in the media to weaponize this tragedy in order to help them hold onto power in the 2022 midterms. This is nothing more than a despicable attempt to impugn patriotic Republican lawmakers, including Stefanik, who in fact has been known to take pro-migration stances in the past.
