Proposal to endorse removing Cheney and Kinzinger from House GOP Conference gets more than 50 RNC co

Source:CNN


A proposal to endorse removing GOP Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the House Republican Conference has gained steam ahead of its introduction at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting this week.

The proposed resolution, which has garnered more than 50 co-sponsors, seeks to punish the two Republican lawmakers over their involvement in the ongoing House Select Committee investigation of the January 6 riots at the US Capitol, according to two people familiar with the latest draft. Should it pass out of a resolutions committee meeting on Thursday, all 168 RNC members would vote on it Friday morning.

"We want to make a statement. This is an inquisition, and we just feel like they are trying to dig up anything they can but that it's one-sided," Jonathan Barnett, a national committeeman from Arkansas who is among the resolution's co-sponsors, told CNN in an interview Tuesday.

"We don't understand Liz and Adam. There's just a lot of frustration with the January 6 committee and we don't think there's any representation on the Republican side. We'd like to see [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy take care of these issues, but it's something we feel we need to talk about," Barnett added.

7. If I recall, there were 100 House GOP 'co sponsors' of the attempt to overturn our election.

Fuck them. We are going to get to the bottom of what they did and prevent it happening again.

And that’s what they are worried about.

11. Mitt Romney's Niece is head of the RNC at the moment.

I wonder how that jives with her Mormon faith?

I see hypocrisy here that she follows and supports a man who has no intention of atoning for his sins, who continues to lie, and break every commandment God has set for the moral guidelines we all should try to live by.

Must make for unusual family gatherings.

12. You know what? It IS an inquisition. It IS one-sided. They DID have an opportunity to join.

But they declined. Bad move on their part, lucky move for us.

When will the GOP splinter into two parties? One is conservative. The other - the RINO's - are fascists.

They should have quelled the Tea Party before it ate them alive.

15. How can it be one sided if there are Republicans on the committee?

Oh, I get it. If they kick out the Republicans that are on the committee, then it will be one sided.
