WASHINGTON — Republican members in Georgia's congressional delegation took no issue with the Republican National Committee's censure of two GOP members serving on the committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But they also were unwilling to align themselves with the controversial language used, which described the insurrection as "legitimate political discourse."
U.S. Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois brought the R.N.C.'s rebuke upon themselves by participating on the Jan. 6 committee, lawmakers said.
"If you're going to be part of the party, you need to be part of the team," Rep. Rick Allen of Augusta said. "And they're breaking all the team rules. So, what do you do? You have to deal with it, right? And I think that's what the R.N.C. did."
