Cheney recirculates Stefanik Jan. 6 statement after she reportedly deletes it
Former No. 3 House Republican Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) recirculated Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) statement on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack after the current House GOP Conference Chair reportedly deleted it off her website.

On Tuesday, Cheney shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, a link to Stefanik’s now-deleted statement about Jan. 6.

After sharing Stefanik’s statement, it was deleted from the New York congresswoman’s page, which now only displays the “ERROR” message.

On Saturday morning, Cheney posted on X that she was informed that Stefanik deleted her statement about Jan. 6 where she called for the Jan. 6 perpetrators to be prosecuted “to the fullest extent of the law.” Cheney also shared the screenshot of Stefanik’s statement.

In her statement on the Capitol riot, Stefanik characterized the violence as “anti-American” and called it a “tragic.”

“This is truly a tragic day for America,” Stefanik said in the statement on Jan. 6, 2021. “I fully condemn the dangerous violence and destruction that occurred today at the United States Capitol. Americans have a Constitutional right to protest and freedom of speech, but violence in any form is absolutely unacceptable and anti-American. The perpetrators of this un-American violence and destruction must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Stefanik has since changed the way she describes those who stormed the Capitol.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in early January, she stated she had “concerns about the treatment of Jan. 6 hostages.”

Cheney, who was one of the lawmakers leading the probe into investigating the Capitol attack, recently called Stefanik a “total crackpot.” The former Wyoming congresswoman has been a staunch critic of former President Trump and allies who promoted false claims about the 2020 election that President Biden won.

She has also called Stefanik’s labeling of Jan. 6 rioters a “disgrace” and “outrageous.”

They can all get jobs in three tar sands, which I don't see much of a future for, purely for economic reasons, environmental concerns aside. We are letting lots of immigrants in and around here a lot of businesses would have to close without them, even with a housing shortage. They are mostly from southeast Asia and the middle east; younger family types are what they are looking for from what I can see.

Yep, I can just see the "caravan" of thousands of Trumpers heading for our southern border flying Trump flags and the stars and bars, as the press follows them migrating north, the irony...

The more cultish the GOP is, the more dependent they are on Trump, their great leader a single source of power and focus. If he is removed by the constitution and or the law from contention, it should have an enormous impact on the republicans, no matter how the courts rule on disqualification. The DC criminal case looks sure to get him before the election, but that is all up in the air for the next few days or weeks, depending on if the stay is lifted in the DC case and it can proceed. Considering his hold over the GOP going into primary season and then an election and the extreme trouble he is in, expect some radical reactions from Trump, if the courts rule against him, especially on disqualification. However, he may be under Chutkan's thumb during much of it and would be in the court's custody if he should go off the deep end and might end up in jail. Once the stay is lifted, she can muzzle him if required and mute any over the top response to the decisions of the SCOTUS.
