Republican Party Chair Ronna McDaniel did not respond to request for comment Thursday, but Dhillon said RNC resolutions are routinely revised."It’s distracting from what should be our main objective: winning back the House and the Senate.

"The Conference must not be sabotaged by Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger who have demonstrated, with actions and words, that they support Democrat efforts to destroy President Trump more than they support winning back a Republican majority in 2023," it said.
