Former Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK) said the RNC’s dismissal of January 6 as “normal political discourse” shows the depth to which the party has fallen during the Trump era, the Washington Examiner reports.
Said Watts: “I just think it tells you how far from where we are when the Republican Party chairwoman says that Jan. 6 was ‘normal political discourse.’ If there’s any Republican or any Democrat or any independent who believes that, then God help us.”
