Clear On Feb. 4, the Republican National Committee did two incredible things. First, it censured Republican U.S. Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for participating on the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. Then, it declared the events of that day “legitimate political discourse.”
The silence from elective officials in our state has been deafening. I would have preferred that every elected Republican official would stand up and say they disagree with the RNC. If not, “we, the people” will have to assume you agree with the RNC; that you agree the events which threatened your lives and democracy itself on Jan. 6, were legitimate political discourse. Where do you stand?
