ICYMI: The GOP just took another leap towards fascism

In case you missed it, Republicans voted on Friday afternoon to censure two members of their party, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, for participating in the inquiry into the January 6th insurrection. As part of the resolution, Republicans declared the investigation to be “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.” {NAME}, In case you missed it, Republicans voted on Friday afternoon to censure two members of their party, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, for participating in the inquiry into the January 6th insurrection. As part of the resolution, Republicans declared the investigation to be “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.” I am appalled by these actions by my Republican colleagues. But I am not surprised in the least. Republicans continue to try to normalize the violence that members of their own party — most notably President Trump — incited that day. I won’t have it. {NAME}, this is what is at stake in the midterms. The same people who believe that bloodshed within the walls of our nation’s political center are now poised to take the majority in Congress — unless we act quickly.
