Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol. Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost.

The RNC is censuring Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger because they are trying to find out what happened on January 6th – HUH?

“Legitimate political discourse”? I remember when I was a proud Republican and thought it the party of principle. 🤨 https://t.co/H3B5QAteOB

The GOP resolution is Orwellian in its use of language to distort fact. Yet truth remains truth. https://t.co/cNCBmuMTyZ

I don't recall whether the GOP ever sanctioned members of Congress for working against the party on free speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, taxes, spending, the growth of the federal government, the 2nd Amendment, or any other policy. But this is the bridge too far?

Nebraska GOP senator @BenSasse on RNC’s censure of Cheney&Kinzinger: “January 6th was not 'legitimate political discourse' and I'll say it again: It was shameful mob violence to disrupt a constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress to affirm the peaceful transfer of power." pic.twitter.com/M4YbhZyyII

In its resolution censuring Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger the Republican National Committee referred to the violent attempt to overthrow our government as "legitimate political discourse." Let's etch that in marble, shall we? pic.twitter.com/2wIX4HHTNJ

If @GOPChairwoman wants to scream that a headline is completely false, she should probably read her party's own resolution first. pic.twitter.com/jYoy79rEu9

Here are the talking points McDaniel sent to members to defend the Cheney and Kinzinger resolution today, per source. Party has received significant criticism in last 24 hours, even from some Republicans. https://t.co/WmN66b3EbO pic.twitter.com/JNOtKMPXRf
