It’s hilarious to see CNN critique Republicans for legitimizing “violence as a form of political expression”. Did they miss the whole BLM movement? Or all the George Floyd riots? This entire article is a joke and completely hypocritical. I will continue to take the unpopular opinion that political violence is wrong. Violence should only be used in rare circumstances such as self defense. The events that took place during the summer of 2020 and on January 6th should never happen again and need to be fairly investigated.

The RNC did not censure Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for “probing the "legitimate political discourse"” of a mostly peaceful protest that occurred on January 6th. They have been placed somewhat at arm’s length due to their hatred towards fellow republicans and disagreements on political opinions. Manchin and Sinema have been treated far worse by the supposedly more moral and ethical party, no one followed Cheney into a bathroom. I would encourage Liz Cheney to remember that she has not only boarded a sinking ship but has also locked arms with individuals who called her father a murder. Manchin, Sinema, Cheney and Kinzlinger should do what is best for their state and constituency and during their next election the voters will let them know.

The “January 6th committee” is a joke! I’ve made this point several times. There are nine individuals currently conducting the so called “investigation” to find the root causes of January 6th. These same nine people ALL voted to impeach Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection and out of those nine, two of them lead impeachment trials again President Donald Trump. Is that fair?

Democrats and Liberal Larrys and Lindas need to be careful. Joe Biden has questioned the outcome of elections yet to happen and some might say articles such as this may plant a seed of doubt in the November midterm. If there is any violence after the 2022 midterms can we hold President Joe Biden accountable?

Direct Quotes

(CNN) — The Republican Party is ever closer to the destination to which it has long been headed under former President Donald Trump -- the legitimization of violence as a form of political expression.

The Republican National Committee's censure of GOP Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for probing the "legitimate political discourse" of the January 6 insurrection enshrined that principle in the party's policy dogma.

and a Republican triumph in midterm elections in November could seat a House majority dominated by Trump's henchmen and women and give his extremism a new lease on power in the run up to the 2024 presidential contest.

The RNC resolution condemned Cheney of Wyoming and Kinzinger of Illinois for participating in a "Democrat-led persecution" of ordinary citizens engaged in "legitimate political discourse" as they serve on the House select committee that is investigating events during and before the January 6 insurrection.

But appeasing Trump's culture of violence is not limited to the RNC. In a continuing attempt to ignore the violent scenes, multiple Capitol Hill Republicans have whitewashed the truth of January 6.

Trump clearly incited violence before the mob scene -- telling his supporters to "fight like hell" to convince Pence to block President Joe Biden's election victory. His rallies and rhetoric have long had an undercurrent of menace. And his political speech is only getting more extreme -- for example, with his recent threats against Black prosecutors probing his business empire and investigating his attempts to steal Biden's election win in Georgia.

Though it was already doubtful that a vice president who thwarted Trump's illegal bid to hang onto power has any future, given the depth of the GOP base's investment in the election fraud fantasy.

Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, for example, said he doesn't think Trump should lead the country again. Cheney has said he's not fit "for future office." There are other signs around the nation that the ex-President's grip may not be what it once was. Some of the candidate in 2021.
