Dan Crenshaw White Knights for Liz Cheney After Republicans Blast Her Support for Trump’s Second Impeachment
Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick, was one of ten GOP House members to vote “yes” on President Donald Trump’s unprecedented second impeachment. Then when some were calling on Cheney to resign over her disgraceful vote, Dan Crenshaw, who voted against impeachment, quickly came to her defense and announced his “full support” for her.
“Let’s get some truth on the record: @Liz_Cheney has a hell of a lot more backbone than most, & is a principled leader with a fierce intellect,” Crenshaw tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “She will continue to be a much needed leader in the conference, with my full support.”
“We can disagree without tearing each other apart,” he added.
Cheney’s vote comes as no surprise...
More Cancel Culture: Oil Industry Cutting Political Contributions Affecting Many Republicans
It seems everyone is jumping on the cancel bandwagon. The head of a top oil industry trade group said Wednesday that some energy companies have decided to stop making political donations after rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol last week.
Mike Sommers, President of the American Petroleum Institute, said the riots, which resulted in the deaths of five people, will factor into the American Petroleum Institute’s future decisions on donations as well. He did not name which companies have suspended political contributions.
As the U.S. House of Representatives is set to impeach Trump for inciting the riot at the Capitol last Tuesday, companies are scrambling to separate themselves from anything or anyone who supports Trump.
“Our first rule is to support candidates and members of congress and senators that support the oil and gas industry,” Sommers said in a press call, where he discussed API’s outlook for 2021. “But just like previous iterations of our past giving, other factors come into effect as well and this will be among those factors that we consider.”
The oil industry is not alone in suspended political donations. Walmart Inc and Walt Disney Co have also suspended donations to politicians who objected to the certification of the electoral vote at the joint session of Congress last week.
U.S. oil giant Chevron said Tuesday it was reviewing donations.
“I specifically asked my team to take a look at...

Beijing Biden Pick For Civil Rights Chief Promoted Racism and Anti-Semitism at Harvard..
Kristen Clarke, President-elect Joe Biden's pick to lead the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, advanced pseudoscientific theories of black racial superiority and organized an event with a notorious anti-Semite as a student at Harvard University.
Clarke and a coauthor outlined "the genetic differences between Blacks and whites" in a 1994 letter to the editors of Harvard's student newspaper, which criticized the political scientist Charles Murray's book The Bell Curve. The genetic difference they identify, varying levels of melanin between whites and blacks, accounts for disparate cognitive abilities, physical power, and even spirituality, the pair said. The so-called melanin theory has no basis in science.
"Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities—something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards," they wrote.
Clarke's remarks will ignite a white-hot confirmation battle in the Senate at a time of heightened racial tension. Though the incendiary statements are more than 25 years old, several of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees were grilled over comparatively tamer items they wrote as college students, prompting public apologies and even a withdrawal. If confirmed, Clarke would shape federal litigation strategies and lead enforcement of the nation's civil-rights statutes. Tucker Carlson Tonight was the first to report on her writings.
Clarke also came in for criticism from Jewish students after she invited the anti-Semitic academic Tony Martin to campus in her capacity as president of the Black Students Association. Martin, then a professor of Africana studies at Wellesley College, promoted false theories implicating a Jewish cabal in the global slave trade and self-published a book called The Jewish Onslaught just one year before visiting Harvard at Clarke's request. A majority of Martin's faculty colleagues condemned the book as anti-Semitic, according to a 2001 column in the Boston Globe.
"Professor Martin is an intelligent, well-versed Black intellectual who bases his information of [sic] indisputable fact," Clarke said in response to critics of Martin's visit.
Though the views Clarke advanced at Harvard might be excused as harmless dorm-room radicalism, senators from both parties were hard on Trump nominees who made milder remarks as college students.
Ryan Bounds was one such nominee. He was slated for a seat on the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals until a leftwing advocacy group circulated a series of opinion columns he wrote about race-based student groups and campus multicultural initiatives as...
