Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for their conduct on the January 6 committee.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution comes after clearing an RNC committee vote on Thursday and will likely \u201cbe approved by the RNC\u2019s full body at its winter meeting on Friday,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/02\/03\/gop-rebuke-cheney-kinzinger-00005547\"><em>Politico<\/em><\/a>. Though the resolution will rebuke both lawmakers for their participation on the January 6 committee, it stopped short of expelling them from the Republican House conference. Some Republicans felt the language in the original resolution, led by Trump ally David Bossie, was too inflammatory.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cSeveral RNC members said they feared it would create a political headache for both the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, and the RNC chair, Ronna McDaniel,\u201d noted Politico. \u201cMcDaniel said in November that Cheney \u2018obviously\u2019 is \u2018still a Republican.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Harmeet Dhillon, national committeeperson from California and supporter of the resolution, said the censure is not a punishment for being anti-Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about them being anti-Trump,\u201d said Harmeet Dhillon. \u201cThere are plenty of other people in the party who are anti-Trump whose names don\u2019t appear in the resolution.

History will be their judge. I will never stop fighting for our constitutional republic.
