Pence Aide: ‘I Did Not See’ Much ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’ on Jan. 6
Marc Short, the former chief of staff of Vice President Mike Pence, pushed back against the Republican National Committee’s recent description of the seditious attack on the U.S. Capitol during a Sunday morning interview.
“I did not see a lot of legitimate political discourse,” Short said on NBC’s Meet the Press.
Censuring GOP Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for taking part in the House select committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the RNC passed a resolution last week saying the two lawmakers were participating in “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.”
