Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) criticized the Republican National Committee's (RNC) apparent characterization of the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as “legitimate political discourse” in a resolution to formally censure Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).
The RNC on Friday voted to censure both lawmakers, with the resolution saying that they have been engaged in the “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse” by participating in the House select panel investigating the insurrection at the Capitol. The two were also censured for their past criticism of former President Trump.
“What happened on January 6, 2021 was an effort to overturn a lawful election resulting in violence and destruction at the Capitol. We must not legitimize those actions which resulted in loss of life and we must learn from that horrible event so history does not repeat itself,” Murkowski, one of seven senators who voted to convict Trump following the Jan. 6 attack, said on Twitter on Saturday.
“As Americans we must acknowledge those tragic events, and we cannot allow a false narrative to be created. We cannot deny the truth—to suggest it was ‘legitimate political discourse’ is just wrong,” she added.
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel on Friday tweeted a photo of a story by The New York Times regarding the RNC’s censure, the headline of which read “G.O.P. Declares Jan. 6 Attack ‘Legitimate Political Discourse.' ”

How many lies can you count in her statement?
That’s OK, we criticise her for being a paid shill for the liberal party
Someone send this fish-faced RINO cretin home to Ketchikan. PLEASE.

Attack?
The vast majority of the people in the Capitol just walked in doors with no opposition and never attacked anything.
Cops are on video beating people and throwing flash bangs OUTSIDE the capital, which really had to piss people off.

Who is in the primary against Murkowski?
What attack?
more like some overzealous patriots perhaps getting egged on to trespass by some bad actors- nothing more.
Exactly. Lisa should be asked to explain how peaceful flag waving grandma’s walking through the Capitol AFTER BEING ESCORTED IN BY POLICE amounts to and “attack” on the capitol..
Well, her side calls looting Walmart, burning down buildings and cars while tearing down historical monuments and killing cops, “a peaceful, non-violent protest.” STFU Lisa. You are clueless.
Come on Alaska. Dump the murk.
Loss of life by thug black cops.
Save time. She only lies whenever her lips are moving.
And the esteemed Senator from Florida, Rick Scott, has said that the Senate Campaign arm will support her.
The Swamp gonna Swamp.
The people of this country better start publicly refuting these RINOs in any way they can, in any poll they can. Do what they can to send a message that they’re no longer wanted. Otherwise it’s more of the same
She’s right, in a sense...
The FBI’s involvement in January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.
Nancy Pelosi’s involvement in January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.
The infiltration of antifa-esque agents provocateurs on January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.
The cold-blooded murder of Ashley Babbitt on January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.
LOL
Always the right time for Rodney Dangerfield.
Does anybody have the picture of Feinstein like a bull dyke cornering Murkowski handy?
After being invited into the building by Capitol Police, if memory serves.
