Kinzinger, a Republican, said:
"I think it shows that (the RNC) has pledged allegiance to one man over any kind of principle, and they can call that like loyalty. They call that conservatism. Conservatism is no longer about what you actually believe. It's about how intensely you're loyal to Donald Trump. [...This] shows the party is not committed to the rule of law, despite what they say, and it's not committed to democratic principles."
Romney, another Republican, added:
"One, to sanction two people of character as they did. But number two, to suggest that a violent attack on the seat of democracy is legitimate political discourse is so far from accurate as to shock and make people wonder what we're thinking."
"Republican lawmakers
Sen. Bill Cassidy, Gov. Larry Hogan, and former RNC chairman Michael
Steele, however, stood behind Cheney and Kinzinger and blasted the RNC
over the censure. GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski
this week pushed back against the RNC's stance, saying that denying the
truth and creating a 'false narrative' is 'just wrong.'"
