The RNC is slated to vote on censuring Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger during Friday's general session.

The resolution could still change, but here's how it reads now

nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
Cheney's full response below >>>

"The leaders of the Republican Party have made themselves willing hostages to a man who admits he tried to overturn a presidential election and suggests he would pardon Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy"
Meanwhile, the subcommittee deliberations were briefly stopped because a member (Tyler Bowyer) "was live-tweeting the events, at which point that member was called out for it and the process continued," a source familiar told us.

Kinzinger statement out >>>

"... my fellow Republicans have chosen to censure two lifelong members of their party for simply upholding their oaths of office. They've allowed conspiracies and toxic tribalism [to] hinder their ability to see clear-eyed."

NBC has obtained the audio of Trump's call with Raffensperger (WaPo had first)

One of the first things Trump mentions on the call? That he had bigger rallies than Biden (no mention of the pandemic playing a role here)

s/o to @JulesJester for obtaining
@JulesJester Midway through, Raffensperger pushes back on the assertion that thousands of dead people voted in Georgia. He says only 2 dead voters cast ballots

Trump moments later alleges widespread dead voting across the country and says he's "sure" many dead people voted in Georgia

Biden says Trump "is stoking violence in our cities"
Biden: "I want to make it absolutely clear ... rioting is not protesting, looting is not protesting, setting fires is not protesting."

"All of this is lawlessness, plain and simple."

Says people who do it should be "prosecuted."
BIDEN: "Ask yourself, do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters?"
