Great, but still no cookie for Liz Cheney

Oh, about that white national congressional caucus Marjorie Taylor Greene was about to start? The one we just talked about? Earlier today? Just scroll down--doesn't matter, it's over with. Apparently some members of her party took exception and shamed her into scuttling the whole idea. Which, I mean, that's good, but...
Which is surprising given that by and large most members of the GOP were
born without the part of the brain responsible for feeling shame. 
Are you sure about that? You
mean Republicans? With an R?
Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney condemned Taylor Greene's dumb, racist, Trumpy caucus saying:

"Republicans believe in equal opportunity, freedom, and justice for all. We teach our children the values of tolerance, decency and moral courage. Racism, nativism and anti-Semitism are evil. History teaches us we all have an obligation to confront & reject such malicious hate."

-Liz Cheney, on--Republicans? Really?

Has she met other Republicans? Because at least
one of them is Mark Gaetz and another started the
whole America First Caucus in the first place.
Hang on...I appreciate Congresswoman Cheney's and other Republicans' denouncement of The America First Caucus, and I get that Cheney has been opposed to a lot of the party's bullshit over the years (but still, not all of it). That's all super, but Republicans across the country are right now making it harder to vote, rolling back trans rights, restricting abortion access, blocking gun legislation and spent the last four years in lockstep with a President who was visibly deranged. 

So what even is she talking about? Look, it's great that this caucus is off the table, but goddamn, moral courage? Seriously? Is she maybe thinking of some other party? It seems like if the GOP believed in any of the stuff she says it does, we wouldn't be talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene at all right now. They'd have kicked her out ages ago and she'd be in a Walgreens somewhere demanding to speak to the manager because they won't take her expired CVS coupon. Oh, and she'd probably be using racial slurs.
We'd also be living in a utopian world where everyone had
free healthcare and nobody had to worry about getting shot so...
