Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) criticized the Republican National Committee for its censure of Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) for serving on the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 Capitol riots, The Hill reports.
Said McConnell: “It was a violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent peaceful transfer of power. That’s what it was.”
McConnell also noted that traditionally “the view of the national party committee is that we support all members of our party, regardless of their position on some issue.”
