0:51Now PlayingSen. McConnell questioned the leadership of the RNC and resent decisions to censure members of the party.
RELATEDWho is Mitch McConnell?
Spotlighting a widening breach among Republicans, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell criticized the Republican National Committee on Tuesday for censuring Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and for suggesting that the Jan. 6 insurrection was "legitimate political discourse."
