GOP Endorses Political Violence
The RNC condemnation of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger raises alarms as to whether the Republican Party is still a viable party or if it has devolved into a cult of Trumpism.
Last Friday, the Republican National Convention, in their winter meeting, voted to condemn fellow Republicans working on the Jan. 6 Committee through a voice vote "without debate or discussion." This decision occurred on the same day that former VP Pence rebuked Trump's insinuation that he could overturn the election. "I don't know if we'll ever see eye to eye on that day," Pence added later.

The condemnation of Cheney and Kinzinger hinged on the fact that they participated in a “Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse.” Despite having a resolution centered on the events of Jan. 6, the RNC, however, did not feel the need to say anything negative about the insurrection that caused seven deaths and was the first attack on the Capitol since 1812.
