Mediaite reports:
The chair of the Republican National Committee called out the New York Times on Friday after the publication quoted her organization accurately.
McDaniel herself used the language in a statement. “Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger crossed a line,” she said. “They chose to join Nancy Pelosi in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse that had nothing to do with violence at the Capitol.”
The resolution’s text does not distinguish between those who violently stormed the Capitol and mere protestors who did not.
This story from the New York Times is completely false.
It’s not journalism, it’s the worst type of baseless political propaganda. pic.twitter.com/sdUwdIDykV

This was January 6th.
This is not “legitimate political discourse.” pic.twitter.com/lKgbVyVcJr— Rep. Liz Cheney (@RepLizCheney) February 4, 2022
