RNC approves censure vote of Reps. Cheney, Kinzinger

The Republican National Committee on Friday voted in favor of formally censuring party Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for their participation in the Democrat-led House committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. 

The vote reportedly passed overwhelmingly at the RNC's annual winter meeting, this year in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The resolution on Thursday cleared an RNC committee. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel reportedly worked with Trump ally David Bossie to draw up the resolution.

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