Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell became the highest-ranking GOP lawmaker to break from the Republican National Committee on Tuesday after the party censured Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for working with Democrats to investigate the Capitol riot.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has been criticized for characterizing the January 6 attack as 'legitimate political discourse' in a statement after rebuking the conservative members of Congress.
McConnell maintained during a Senate GOP press conference that he still had confidence in McDaniel's leadership of the national party but implied her organization overstepped its authority in rebuking two sitting members of Congress.
He also denounced the riot as a 'violent insurrection.'
Without naming Cheney or Kinzinger, McConnell defended them by insisting the RNC's place is not to 'single out' members who do not toe the party line.
