Rona McDaniel doubles down on her Trump love
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Tuesday defended the organization's censure of GOP Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) and Liz Cheney (Wyo.), blaming the media for what she called "patently false coverage" of the move.
"If corporate news media wants to know why Americans don't trust it anymore, they should look no further than the shameful, outrageous, and patently false coverage of the resolution adopted by the RNC to censure Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger," McDaniel wrote in an op-ed for the conservative news site Townhall.
The RNC voted last week to formally censure Cheney and Kinzinger for the "persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse" by sitting on the House committee investigating the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and for their criticism of former President Trump.
The censure resolution, which drew immediate pushback from within the GOP as well as from Democrats, says Cheney and Kinzinger's actions have "been destructive to the institution of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party and our republic, and is inconsistent with the position of the Conference."
