Republican leaders in Congress are divided over a Republican National Committee resolution suggesting the the attack inside the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021 as “legitimate political discourse.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says he believes violent rioters who stormed the halls of Congress belong “in jail” but has not rejected the characterisation of the assault inside the resolution, which also censured two House Republicans for their role in an investigation into the events leading up to and surrounding the riots.
