Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) looked as if it would rebuke the Republican Nationwide Committee on Tuesday over its decision that censored Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for being on the House make a selection committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault at the U.S. Capitol.

CNN chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju asked McConnell if it was “acceptable” for the RNC to censure “two sitting participants of Congress” and call the Jan. 6 assault “authentic political discourse.”

“It used to be a violent revolt with the purpose of looking to stop the peaceable transfer of energy after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the following,” mentioned McConnell, referring to Jan. 6. “That’s what it was once.”

He continued, “With regard to the advice that the RNC should be within the trade of picking and selecting Republicans who needs to be supported, historically the view of the national birthday party committees is that we toughen all contributors of our birthday celebration regardless of their positions on some concerns.”

When requested if he has self belief in RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, McConnell mentioned, “I do, but the difficulty is whether or not or no longer the RNC will have to be form of singling out participants of our birthday party who can have completely different views from the bulk. That’s now not the job of the RNC.”

Watch above.
