RNC Votes To Censure Cheney And Kinzinger

US

The Republican National Committee (RNC) have voted to censure GOP Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for criticism of former President Trump and participation in the January 6 Committee.

  • Today Kinzinger voted against the GOP whip for the American COMPETES act.
  • Mitt Romney (R-UT) has spoken out against official party censure: '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.'
  • This is the latest episode in an period of increased partisan dogmatism. Democrats have moved to censure Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and suggested primarying the Senators who voted against Build Back Better and voter rights.
