Copy of Resolution
WHEREAS, The primary mission of the Republican Party is to elect Republicans who support the
United States Constitution and share our values;
WHEREAS, The Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress have embarked on
systematic effort to replace liberty with socialism; eliminate border security in favor of lawless,
open borders; create record inflation designed to steal the American dream from our children and
grandchildren; neuter our national defense and a peace through strength foreign policy; replace
President Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" with incompetence and illegal mandates; and destroy
America's economy with the Green New Deal;
WHEREAS, Winning back the majority in Congress, including the United States House of
Representatives, in 2022 must be the primary goal of the House Republican Conference
("Conference") and requires all Republicans working together to accomplish the same;
WHEREAS, The Conference must design the strategy to stop the radical Biden agenda and retire
Nancy Pelosi, tasks which require that all Republicans pull in the same direction;
WHEREAS, The Conference must not be sabotaged by Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam
Kinzinger who have demonstrated, with actions and words, that they support Democrat efforts to
destroy President Trump more than they support winning back a Republican majority in 2022;
WHEREAS, Representatives Cheney and Kinzinger have engaged in actions in their positions as
members of the January 6th Select Committee not befitting Republican members of Congress,
which include the Committee's disregard for minority rights, traditional checks and balances, due
process, and adherence to other precedent and rules of the U.S. House and which seem intent on
advancing a political agenda to buoy the Democrat Party's bleak prospects in the upcoming
midterm elections;
WHEREAS, Congressional Republicans bear ultimate responsibility for their own success or
failure and the NC supports their efforts by denouncing those who deliberately jeopardize
victory in November on which the future of our constitutional republic depends at this critical
moment in history;
WHEREAS, Representatives Cheney and Kinzinger purport to be members of the Republican
Party; and
WHEREAS, RepresentativesCheney and Kinzinger are participating in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse, and they are both utilizing their past professed political affiliation to mask Democrat abuse of prosecutorial power for partisan purposes, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Republican National Committee hereby formally censures Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and shall immediately cease any and all support of them as members of the Republican Party for their behavior which has been destructive to the institution of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party and our republic, and is inconsistent with the position of the Conference.
Was this the right move for the GOP?
If you support the GOP - do you support the censure, and withdrawal of GOP support for both representatives?
At the end of the day, this was really about money - and the ability for the GOP to financially support primary challengers who would better support Trump's agenda. But, what does that say about the party as a whole?
Is it really Party over Country? It seems both parties should be a bit more open-minded with their members - I don't like that the Arizona Dem Party censured Sinema - but that is really just a protest move by a state party. This seems to have a more far-reaching impact.
