CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 17, 2021
WYOMING CONGRESSWOMAN LIZ CHENEY, WHO WAS OUSTED FROM HER LEADERSHIP POSITION LAST WEEK, DEFENDS HER OPPOSITION TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, SAYING IT’S A BIG LIE THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN. SHE SAYS TRUTH IS THE ONLY WAY REPUBLICANS CAN RE-GAIN POWER IN WASHINGTON. REALLY?
HAS CHENEY EXAMINED THE RECENT HISTORY OF DEMOCRATS WHO REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE 2000 ELECTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH, THE 2004 BUSH RE-ELECTION AND THE 2016 ELECTION OF TRUMP?
THE NY TIMES WROTE ABOUT IT: IN JANUARY, 2001, REPRESENTATIVE AND IMPEACHED FEDERAL JUDGE ALCEE HASTINGS OF FLORIDA OBJECTED TO HIS STATE’S ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES BECAUSE OF “OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE OF OFFICIAL MISCONDICT, DELIBERATE FRAUD, AND AN ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS VOTER TURNOUT.” SOUND FAMILIAR?
REPRESENTATIVE SHEILA JACLSON LEE OF TEXAS REFERRED TO “MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE BEEN DISENFRANCHISED BY FLORIDA’S INACCURATE VOTE COUNT. THERE WERE SIMILAR CHARGES, ALL BY DEMOCRATS.
SEE HOW THIS WORKS? FOR CHENEY TO ACCUSE TRUMP OF A BIG LIE FORGETS THE BIGGEST LIES OF ALL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
