Ana Navarro, 50, didn’t mince phrases when blasting the 211 Republican members of Congress who skipped out on the Home of Representatives’ ceremony to mark the first anniversary of the January 6 riot. The View co-host, who's a self-identified Republican, mentioned that it was “extremely shameful” that just about all the Republican members of Congress determined to forgo the second of silence that honored the 4 Capitol Law enforcement officials who had been killed defending the members of the Home.
In the intervening time of silence for the Capitol Law enforcement officials who died, there have been solely two Republicans who confirmed up.
Rep. Lynn Cheney. And her father. The 80 yr previous former Vice President.

Ana bought heated as she referred to as out the Republicans for each attempting to vary the narrative surrounding the Capitol riot and never displaying respect for many who helped shield them, throughout a Friday January 7 episode of The View. “All of these Republicans that bought helped by the Capitol Police. All these Republicans, who we noticed working for his or her lives. All these Republicans, who had been cowering below desks on January 6. None of them might take a minute to watch silence, and observe January 6 and as an alternative had been saying that it was some kind of media propaganda,” she mentioned. “That's shameful.”
The one Republicans that did attend the ceremony had been Wyoming Consultant Liz Cheneyand her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and Ana was grateful for each of them. Although she mentioned she could not at all times agree with the previous VP, she recommended him for attending to each help his daughter and for his nation. “What he did yesterday was an honorable act. He was not solely appearing as any person who served within the Home of Representatives for a few years, and thus has ground privileges to stroll on the ground, he was there as an American. He was there as a Republican elder, and he was there as Liz Cheney’s dad. If not for Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney would’ve been there by her lonesome self as the one Republican serving a minute of silence,” she mentioned.
After torching Republicans for not attending, Ana recommended the Cheneys and particularly the previous vice chairman another time for taking the time to mark such an vital day. “As a daughter, as an American, as a longtime Republican, I appreciated Dick Cheney’s presence there and sporting all these hats,” she mentioned.
Liz is one in every of solely two Republicans at present on the Home Choose Committee investigating the January 6 Rebellion. The opposite Republican on the committee Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger tweeted that he wished he might have attended the ceremony, however he was along with his spouse anticipating the start of their son. “Want I might be there too, however I’m on child watch. I'm in spirit,” he tweeted. In a followup tweet, he responded to somebody who requested the place he was, and he praised the Cheneys. “As soon as once more everybody, would have beloved to have been on the home ground, however I've a child making his entrance into the world at any second. God bless @Liz_Cheney and VP Cheney for going. Unhappy others didn’t. Stoked to be a dad,” he wrote.
