Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is leading a chorus of GOP outrage over the Republican National Committee’s defense of the violent attack on the Capitol as “legitimate political discourse.”
The one-time presidential contender even texted his niece, RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, to register his disagreement with the statement that censured Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Adams Kinzinger (R-Ill.) for participating in the congressional probe of Jan. 6.
“To suggest that a violent attack on the seat of democracy is legitimate political discourse is so far from accurate as to ... make people wonder what we’re thinking,” Romney said late Monday.
