TFG's former national security advisor slammed the RNC for suggesting the Capitol riot was a
'legitimate political discourse'HR McMaster, who served as Donald Trump's national security advisor, rejected a claim by the Republican National Committee that the Capitol riot was a form of "legitimate political discourse," saying it was an attack on the US government.
"It was illegitimate political discourse because it was an assault on the first branch of government," McMaster told CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
"And so I think it's really important for us to come together now, Margaret," McMaster told the host Margaret Brennan. "I really think it is possible to improve the transparency and the security of our elections, while ensuring that every eligible voter … gets to vote."
