NJ-07: Kean Jr. Ignores Question on the “Legitimate Political Discourse” of Capitol Storming

The Star-Ledger editorial board asked Tom Kean Jr. and the two GOP members of the New Jersey congressional delegation their position on the RNC resolution to censure Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and accuse them of “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse” – which many fellow New Jersey Republicans opposed – including the state GOP party chairman.

Their response? “Crickets” 

Multiple attempts to solicit any reaction to the RNC resolution from Republican members of the New Jersey delegation have resulted in crickets. Requests made to Rep. Chris Smith and Rep. Jeff Van Drew were not acknowledged, nor was the request made to former state senator Tom Kean Jr.., who is seeking to unseat Rep. Tom Malinowski in the 7th District.

Important note:  Kean’s father, former governor Thomas H. Kean, has publicly supported an investigation into January 6th. 

James Singer DCCC Spokesperson

“It’s sad and pathetic that Tom Kean Jr. and other New Jersey Republicans are so afraid of Donald Trump they can’t acknowledge the truth, that January 6th was not ‘legitimate political discourse’ but a violent attempt to overturn an election.”
