Members of the elections (RNC)’s resolutions committee voted unanimously Thursday in favor of a motion calling for the censure of GOP Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., for their participation in the Jan. 6 congressional investigation panel.
Sources told Fox News that there was limited discussion of the measure at the meeting, but the language used in the resolution was a matter of intense discussion prior to the closed-door gathering.

The proposal is now set to be voted on by the full RNC Friday at its general session meeting, which will be open to reporters.

Because of party rules, there’s now a waiting period before the resolution passes the full party and there’s an expectation that could happen in the coming months.
