Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel slammed the “corporate news media” Tuesday for their coverage of the censure of Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
In an op-ed she wrote for Townhall, McDaniel classified recent media reports as “distorted” and reaffirmed that she has repeatedly condemned the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 while defending the censure of the representatives for “enabling a partisan committee.”

“The events of that day are deeply personal to me and our team as the FBI found a bomb outside of RNC headquarters that afternoon, and I will never forget what it felt like to know that my staff was in immediate danger. Violence has no place in our political discourse, period, and those who engaged in violence on January 6th and committed crimes should be held accountable with due process,” McDaniel wrote.
The resolution adopted last week condemned the two Republican House members for participating in the “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse,” language Republicans and Democrats have criticized, as members of the select committee investigating the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
McDaniel clarified in her op-ed that “violence is not legitimate political discourse,” but she remains firm on censoring Cheney and Kinzinger.

“Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are cheapening the events of January 6th by participating in Nancy Pelosi’s partisan committee. The Senate has already completed one investigation into January 6th, and there are multiple ongoing active law enforcement investigations into what happened that day. These are the correct avenues for investigation,” she wrote.
