Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the two Republican House members willing to stake their reputations on it having been bad that Donald Trump incited an insurrection to prevent the peaceful transition of power, are in for it now. Republican National Committee Chair Ronna No-Longer-Romney McDaniel and Trump ally David Bossie drafted a censure resolution against Cheney and Kinzinger, who are apparently endangering the entire Republican Party, and every single bad thing that happens to Republicans from now on is all their fault.
The censure resolution, scaled back slightly from an earlier version that called for Cheney and Kinzinger to be expelled from the Republican conference, passed the RNC resolutions committee on Thursday, and McDaniel told reporters she expected it to pass the entire RNC winter meeting “overwhelmingly” on Friday morning. Perhaps even more significantly, leaders of the Wyoming Republican Party signed a letter calling Cheney’s primary challenger, Harriet Hageman, the presumptive nominee for the seat Cheney is running to retain. That move would allow the national Republican Party to financially support Hageman, who has so far been badly outraised by Cheney.
As predicted:
