The RNC voted to censure the two lawmakers on Friday over their opposition to former President Donald Trump and their involvement to investigate the 1/6 riot.
The censure resolution characterized the January 6 attack as"legitimate political discourse" and
"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," the Republican senator tweeted.
In a similar statement, Hutchinson said Saturday that the censure resolution"undermines respect for the rule of law."
