RNC's Ronna McDaniel says January 6 committee is a 'Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens wh

who engaged in legitimate political discourse'

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol is a "Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse."

McDaniel made the remarks about the committee in a joint interview with The Washington Post alongside David Bossie, a fellow RNC official and former Trump campaign aide, with whom she co-authored a resolution to censure Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois over their participation in the congressional committee.

"We've had two members engage in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse. This has gone beyond their original intent. They are not sticking up for hard-working Republicans," McDaniel said.

Her comments mirrored language in the censure resolution itself, which accuses Kinzinger and Cheney of "sabotage" and says the duo are "utilizing their past professed political affiliation to mask Democrat abuse of prosecutorial power for partisan purposes."

aren't crimes when White GOP Trump supporters do it. If the Capitol insurrectionists had actually been Antifa or BLM, sure as hell they wouldn't be regarded as "ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse."

8. Shouldn't it be Kinzinger and Cheney that are doing the censuring?

After all, they have always been Republicans and acted accordingly.

The rest of them (including the RNC)? The new AFP (American Fascist Party).
