The Republican National Committee on Friday censured Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, arguing that they "support Democrat(ic) efforts to destroy President (Donald) Trump more than they support winning back a Republican majority in 2022." Their shame-worthy act? Participating in the January 6 select committee currently investigating last year's attack on the Capitol. According to the committee, aiding the investigation is an offense not just against the Trump-supporting GOP but against the republic itself, because it involves an unjust persecution of people engaged in "legitimate political discourse."
