Washington – Congresswoman and GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) joined Mark Levin last night to discuss the Democrats’ upheaval of the rules and integrity of the U.S. House of Representatives. Click here to listen to her full remarks and see an excerpt of the transcript below:

MARK LEVIN: That is Liz Cheney, how are you congresswoman?
 
REP. LIZ CHENEY: Hey Mark, I’m doing great. How are you?
 
LEVIN: Well, you know, I’m annoyed. You’re on the House floor, you see that Nancy Pelosi violates the rules by calling the President a racist. She is ruled to have violated the rules by the Parliamentarian, which is announced by the No. 2 Democrat Steny Hoyer. Well too bad, her language gets to stay in the record and we vote that she didn’t violate the rules. Now what kind of a House of Representatives is this?
 
CHENEY: Well, I think what happened today on the House floor is an absolute tragedy and it showed that Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats, they’re willing to overturn precedent that goes back to the very first Congress about conduct on the floor of the House about the kind of language that’s acceptable on the floor of the House. The last time a Speaker’s words were taken down was in 1984 and normally, as in this case, she was offered the opportunity, you know immediately it was clear what she had said when she said that the President’s tweets were racist, this is language that is not allowed on the House floor. She had the opportunity to withdraw her remarks, to rephrase and she refused to do it and instead she stormed the floor of the House and threw the floor into chaos. Then you had a Democrat abandon the chair, I mean it was really a disgrace and because of the sequence of events you outlined, her words were taken down but then what the Democrats did was essentially overturn what the chair had ruled and basically said from now on, it’s perfectly all right to use the word racist on the floor of the House of Representatives and essentially anything anyone says is all right as long as the majority votes not to strike the words from the record. It was really behavior by the Speaker in particular demonstrating a total lack of regard for this institution and I think it really called into question her fitness to lead this institution.
 
LEVIN: Well I’ll tell you what else calls into question her fitness to lead the institution. You have a couple of members of the House of Representatives who are out-of-the-closet anti-Semites and it’s not surprise that out-of-the-closet anti-Semites say horrific things about their own country, this country. Then tend to overlap. You have Representative Omar time and time again, who has said some of the most vicious things about Jews and the state of Israel, which is a Jewish state, and Nancy Pelosi waters down a resolution so now everybody who criticizes anybody who’s criticized or who makes an outrageous statement and I look at this, I try to put the media out of my mind as much as possible, the President’s tweets, I look at the reaction to his tweets in comparison to the reaction to what Omar has said, Tlaib has said and done, AOC with her concentration camp comment, aren’t we a little over the top with respect to the President and a little under the bottom with respect to these three women?
 
CHENEY: There’s no question. I think that the way that they are conducting themselves and you start with the anti-Semitism and here you have once again a Democratic leadership, and you know it’s Nancy Pelosi and it’s Steny Hoyer—two members who claim that they support the state of Israel, who claim that they stand against anti-Semitism, but when it came down to condemning by name Ilhan Omar for her remarks, when it came down to the question of do you leave her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee or do you take her off? They have not condemned her by name and in fact, she went out and claimed that Resolution a victory for herself and they’ve left her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. They’re playing a very dangerous game. The history of anti-Semitism is absolutely clear. We know that what starts as words can end up with something far worse and when elected officials refuse to stand up and call anti-Semitism by name and stand against the evil that it represents then they are enabling it and that is absolutely what we are seeing from the leadership on the Democratic side of the House these days.
