Today, the Republican Party formally passed a resolution declaring the deadly January 6th Capitol attack “legitimate political discourse.” The Party also censured Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, the two Republicans serving on the January 6th committee investigating the riot. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel doubled down on the resolution in a statement, claiming Kinzinger and Cheney are engaging in a “persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse.”
Yes: according to the Republican Party, sending lawmakers running for their lives and chanting about hanging the Vice President is simply “legitimate political discourse.” Trump is running in 2024. State Republicans are suppressing the vote and gerrymandering their way back into power. The entire party is beholden to the Big Lie. Make no mistake: the GOP is dragging us into outright fascism. Democrats must take this threat seriously — before it’s too late.
As the RNC reframes the unlawful attempt to overturn the election of President Biden as “legitimate,” we again call for the CT GOP, Bob Stefanowski, and all other CT Republican candidates to condemn Trump’s incitement of the riot.
