Schumer says for the RNC to "officially sign on to the big lie, and more than that to excuse the attack itself" is "chilling and plainly dangerous." He calls it "a sad commentary on how far the political arm of the GOP has gone... Nothing less than everlasting shame." — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSchumer says RNC "crossed a line." "Their statement didn't even make mention of the violence that day... Jan 6 was an armed insurrection... It was fundamentally rooted in D. Trump's big lie that the 2020 election was illegitimate... the RNC seems to be giving its blessing." — PolitiTweet.org

Kinzinger discusses why "normal" Republicans stay quiet on Trump and Jan. 6: Some tell him they need to win their primary or they'll be replaced by a "really bad" member. Others tell him they don't want to get in a "Twitter war" and ask him not to tell them how to do their job. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. @AdamKinzinger says he doesn't take the RNC resolution personally: "I don't get the hurt feelings that Donald Trump gets on daily basis." "Donald Trump literally just admitted to a coup attempt, and you're gonna turn your fire on Liz and Adam?" "This is an insane moment." — PolitiTweet.org

Kinzinger says RNC members didn't oppose the resolution bc they're "scared to death of the mob." "RNC deserves every aspect of backlash that's going to come down on it. And this is a defining moment in American politics...Are you for authoritarianism? Are you against democracy?" — PolitiTweet.org

On "legitimate political discourse" Rep. Adam Kinzinger tells @Morning_Joe that the RNC's censure and depiction of Jan. 6 is "a defining moment" for the Republican Party. He responds to Kevin McCarthy: "He is the weakest leader that has ever, frankly, existed in that position." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump spent the last week trashing a new bipartisan push in the Senate to prevent election coups. Has it impacted negotiations? "No, not really," says Susan Collins. "Didn't seem to tonight," says Capito. Trump is "wrong" on VP's power, says Graham. https://t.co/xZH5eQ9697 — PolitiTweet.org
