Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell explained, “‘It was a violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election.”
, McConnell explained "‘It was a violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election."
Last week, the RNC censured two GOP lawmakers for participating on the committee investigating the violent Jan. 6 insurrection and assailed the panel for leading a "persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse."President Joe Biden, on the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol Riot in Washington, D.C., spoke about the insurrection, noting it was the first time a president who just lost an election tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
RNC members take issue with what they see as the overly broad subpoenas, including one for Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward. Ward, an osteopathic doctor, sued to block the subpoena and argues that providing her phone records would compromise patients’ privacy.Jacob Chansley, the so-called "QAnon Shaman" was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The most consequential element of the censure is a call for the party to no longer support Cheney and Kinzinger as Republicans.
