Liz Cheney's 'Legitimate Political Discourse' Jan 6. Video Viewed 4M Times

A video tweeted out by GOP rep. Liz Cheney detailing the violence which occurred on January 6 to show it was not a "legitimate political discourse" has been viewed more than 4 million times.

The clip has gone viral after it was shared by the Wyoming congresswoman in the wake of the Republican National Committee describing the attack on the Capitol as ordinary citizens engaging in "legitimate political discourse" in a resolution to censure Cheney and rep. Adam Kinzinger.

A vote to censure Cheney and Kinzinger, the only two Republicans on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack, was passed by the RNC on Friday, February 4.

After the resolution was approved, Cheney tweeted a 31-second video showing a violent mob attacking police officers with flag poles and other objects, as well as storming into the building and forcing their way past barricades during the riot.

"This was January 6th. This is not 'legitimate political discourse,'" Cheney wrote.

The post has since been retweeted more than 62,000 times, with the video gaining millions of views online.

More than 725 people have so far been arrested in connection to the January 6 attack, in which more than than 100 police officers were injured.

Eleven members of the far-right Oath Keepers group have also been charged with seditious conspiracy after allegedly plotting to violently stop the certification of the 2020 election results in favor of Joe Biden.

In a statement prior to the vote taking place, Cheney accused the GOP of being "willing hostages" to Donald Trump even after he admitted his goal on January 6 was to overturn the election results and promised to pardon those convicted in connection to the insurrection.

"I'm a constitutional conservative and I do not recognize those in my party who have abandoned the Constitution to embrace Donald Trump," Cheney said. "History will be their judge. I will never stop fighting for our constitutional republic. No matter what."

Kinzinger also dismissed the GOP's description of the January 6 attack after the censure vote.

In a tweet, the Illinois congressman shared an image from the riot within an online security check frame asking users to "select all squares with legitimate political discourse." The tweet was directed to the GOP House minority leader with the caption "What do you say Kevin [McCarthy]?"

Trump, who was impeached for the second time after being accused of inciting the January 6 attack before being cleared by the Senate, celebrated the censoring of Cheney and Kinzinger. In a statement the former president described the pair as "two horrible RINOs [Republican In Name Only] who put themselves ahead of our Country."

Cheney has been contacted for comment.
