One key line: "Cheney and Kinzinger are participating in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse" in their roles on the House committee investigating Jan. 6 ImageImage
Paul Farrow, Wisconsin GOP chair, told NBC News RNC members' frustration with Cheney and Kinzinger is over the Jan. 6 investigation "starting to broaden their scope"

NEW: The multi-million dollar Republican canvassing effort is deeply flawed, more than a dozen insiders detail

“That’s why we’re losing elections,” one Republican field veteran said. “Nobody wants to admit it.”

A six-month investigation >>>
