Just asked McConnell about the RNC resolution. He pushes back against RNC move. “That's not the job of the RNC,” McConnell says, criticizing the censure of Kinzinger and Cheney. Says the committee shouldn’t be singling out members with different views.
McConnell: “Well let me give you my view on what happened January 6th. We all were here…. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next.”
“With regard to the suggestion that the RNC should be in the business of picking and choosing Republicans who ought to be supported, traditionally the view of the national party committee is we support all members of our party regardless of their positions on some issues” he said
Asked him if he has confidence in RNC chair. “I do, but the issue is whether or not the RNC should be sort of singling out members of our party who may have different views from the majority. That’s not the job of the RNC.”
