Rep. Adam Kinzinger blasts GOP over 'conspiracies and toxic tribalism' after RNC votes to advance ce

censure against him

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois blasted his fellow Republicans in a statement on Thursday after the Republican National Committee voted to advance a censure of him and Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming for their involvement on the committee investigating the Capitol attack.

The RNC's resolutions committee voted unanimously to advance a resolution censuring Kinzinger and Cheney, the only two Republicans serving on the January 6 committee, Politico's David Siders reported. They were also two of the ten Republicans who voted in favor of Trump's second impeachment.

The draft censure, obtained by The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey, said the two lawmakers have shown they "support Democrat efforts to destroy President Trump" and have engaged in actions "not befitting Republican members of Congress" in their work on the January 6 committee.

In response to the censure, Kinzinger tweeted a statement that said he has "been a member of the Republican Party long before Donald Trump entered the field," adding "my values and core beliefs remain the same and have not wavered."
