The resolution would censure Cheney and Kinzinger and call on the RNC to 'immediately cease any and all support of them as members'
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., listen as Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., speaks during the House select committee hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, July 27, 2021.A previous version of the resolution called for House Republicans to expel Cheney and Kinzinger from the party's conference, but was amended to censure the two representatives after more RNC members weighed in.
"I think it's important for members of the Republican Party to support one another and they've made it clear over the past year that it's more important for them to attack the former president than it is to support the principles of the Republican Party," John Wahl, the chairman of the Alabama Republican Party and a co-sponsor of the resolution, told CBS News.
But other members argued that it's the party's responsibility to take action against Kinzinger and Cheney for joining the January 6 committee. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthyafter House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of McCarthy's suggestions.
