GOP votes to formally embrace Jan. 6 Insurrection as "legitimate political discourse"

The highest reaches of the Republican party pretty much just issued a call for violence.

Just when you thought our democracy couldn’t be more in danger, the Republican party just officially voted to endorse the January 6 Insurrection, at which nearly a thousand Trump supporters tried to violently overthrow our election, and our government, and assassinate the vice president of the United States.

In a censure resolution intended to shame GOP US Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for serving on the January 6th Commission — which is trying to find out what happened on January 6, why, and how we can avert it from happening again — the Republican National Committee voted overwhelming to recognize the Insurrection as “legitimate political discourse,” and the violent seditionists arrested that day as "ordinary citizens” who are being “persecuted” by the FBI.

The RNC is saying that not only is political violence acceptable, but they’d like to see a lot more of it.
