McConnell and McCarthy split over RNC censure resolution
CNN
The top two Republican leaders in Congress were at odds Tuesday over the Republican National Committee's recent resolution that formally censured GOP Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for serving on the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, pressed by CNN's Manu Raju on the RNC's decision to refer to that day as "legitimate political discourse" in the resolution, said that what occurred on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol was "a violent insurrection."
He also said that the RNC should not be "singling out members of our party who may have different views from the majority," adding that it's "not the job of the RNC."
