Ronna McDaniel Defends RNC’s Decision to Censure Cheney, Kinzinger

Republican National Committee Chairwoman (RNC) Ronna McDaniel accused the media of “distorting” the organization’s decision to censure Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

In an op-ed published by Townhall, McDaniel defended the decision.

“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.

McDaniel argued she has “repeatedly condemned the violence that occurred at the Capitol on January 6th and do so again today.”

She suggested those who participated in the riot “should be held accountable with due process by the appropriate law enforcement authorities and prosecutors.”

Still, McDaniel explained, “But the awful events of that day do not justify Cheney or Kinzinger enabling a partisan committee whose real purpose seems to be helping Democrats’ electoral prospects at the cost of potentially ruining innocent people’s lives.”
