Distance?

Top Senate Republicans are keeping their distance from the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) characterization of Jan. 6, 2021, as “normal political discourse” and its censure of Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).
Members of Senate GOP leadership, who gathered on Monday for a weekly meeting, warned that focusing on Jan. 6 wasn’t a unifier for the party.
“I just think right now if we want to win the elections in November, [there are] better things for us to be focused on,” said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 GOP senator. n
“I think the focus right now needs to be forward, not backward. If we want to get majorities in the fall, it’s better to turn our fire on Democrats, not on each other,” he said.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), an adviser to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said referring to Jan. 6, when a mob of the former president’s supporters breached the Capitol, as “legitimate political discourse” was “not an accurate description.”
“Being accurate is really important in particular when you are talking about something that sensitive,” he said.
Asked about the RNC censuring Kinzinger and Cheney, Cornyn said he thought it was "not a unifying action," though he also thinks the two GOP lawmakers shouldn’t have accepted the appointment to the Jan. 6 committee.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), another adviser to McConnell, said the party had other “issues that we should be focusing on besides censuring two members of Congress.”

GOP leadership is totally corrupt. All of them.
Do they think it was abnormal discourse?
There is probably more to each of their stories.
Almost all of the GOP Senators are Bush League Republicans.
There are three up in 2022 that are worthy of re-election, Johnson, Paul and Kennedy.
The rest need to be replaced, particularly Amnesty Senators Rubio and Hoeven.
Normal people see the censure as lightweight BS.
Rino’s see the censure as extremist nazisim.
We need to defeat the rinos
What about the November 4th insurrection?
There is nothing better to be focused on than defending American citizens against political persecution and sending those doing it to jail or the gallows.
Useless eaters.
