Representative Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, knocked Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, after the latter argued that the House select committee investigating the pro-Trump January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol aims to “smear” and “harass” Republicans.
Kinzinger, a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump, serves as one of two Republicans on the January 6 commission—the other being Representative Liz Cheneyof Wyoming. Both representatives were formally censured by the Republican National Committee (RNC) on Friday due to their opposition to Trump and their involvement with the investigatory body.
