GOP Calling January 6 “Legitimate Political Discourse” Underlines Republicans’ Anti-Democratic Extremism

Feb 07, 2022

End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on the RNC calling the events of January 6, 2021 “legitimate political discourse”:

“The Republican Party is committed to undermining our democracy. From perpetuating the Big Lie, to passing numerous bills to restrict the freedom to vote, to putting in place measures to sabotage, subvert, and overturn our elections, to now officially declaring the events of January 6 to be ‘legitimate political discourse,’ the GOP has become an anti-democracy party that stands with the violent extremists who stormed our Capitol.”
