GOP declares Jan. 6 attack on Capitol ‘legitimate political discourse’ in censuring Cheney and Kinzinger

The Republican Party on Friday censured two of its own — U.S. Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — over their involvement in Congress’ probe of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Cheney and Kinzinger voted to impeach Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection after last year’s deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot and are the only Republicans taking part in the House of Representatives’ investigation of the attack.
