Representative Adam Kinzinger hit back at GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, calling him a "standard weak man" following a Friday vote by the Republican National Committee to censure Kinzinger and Representative Liz Cheney.
The RNC voted with a substantial majority to censure Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, and Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, due to their involvement with the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol and their opposition to former President Donald Trump. The resolution stated that the two GOP lawmakers "are participating in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse, and they are both utilizing their past professed political affiliation to mask Democrat abuse of prosecutorial power for partisan purposes..."
McCarthy was asked about the RNC decision in a Friday interview with Fox News. The California Republican responded by criticizing Kinzinger and Cheney, saying that "those two individuals would have a hard time ever coming back to Congress."
Kinzinger then tweeted a link highlighting McCarthy's remarks and wrote: "Standard weak man here."
