#AdamKinzinger #GOP #Trump
I’m not a Republican but Adam have my Respect! I wish more politicians were like him👍
@Kevin Dawson absolutely Right! We should do what’s best for all of us without division or hate! We are all Americans and we should be able to work our differences and do what is best for the country not party or single individual.
@Brian coughlin nope
@Otis Dylan you are wrong about everything
Some of us may even be Republicans then. For me it would be I just might go back to being Republican again!!
@Brian coughlin like trump McConnell graham gaetz etc
The denial of Jan 6 is the most dangerous and disgusting act of all. They shouldn’t be in office
@II nosferatu II and it was a very big deal. If our government was wiped out then what would happen? They planted real bombs in the dnc, rnc and various other locations. Police officers were assaulted and killed. The delusion that this was not a horrible assault on democracy is ridiculous.
We aren’t “United”. We’ll never be if you idiots want to keep running in circles and keep making excuses. America should just DIE already if that’s the case. Right now, in this state of division, America’s best future is if it shatters into a million pieces and spares hundreds of millions of innocent people the pain and suffering that they don’t deserve. And maybe we should if nobody will hold themselves responsible or accountable for their words and actions.
@II nosferatu II BLM riots were triggered by the murder of a black man by a white cop. The insurrection sought to overthrow the government. Both were big deals for different reasons.
@II nosferatu II it’s far worse than Democrats are stating.
THERE WAS NO INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITAL !!! THEY WERE PEACEFUL PROTESTORS !!!
They need to arrest the person who started “The Big Lie” and charge that person with treason
Somebody’s hacked the Biden administration. China lol thus the American freedoms are fathers and children lived in died for. American greatness is not what I’m seeing from our leadership today.
Hello ?……in the kitchen ?…👈😳

Can you please move
my “walker” from the desk
over here to my chair ?…..👈😁….
Thank you dear…
here is a “nobel peace prize”
for your efforts….👈😁👍….
Lleo its trump who started the big lie
Everyone lives in their ideology. This is what both sides want. It’s how they stay in power. If people would vote for individuals like him instead of their party these people wouldn’t be in power. When you criticize on either side you are criticizing an American . How patriotic is this generation hmmm
@Iain Taylor I like your post. I would only say that directly causing the deaths of over 500,000 Americans should be considered an act of war against the U.S.
We all saw what we saw,and we cannot unsee it. They can lie and if they want to. I’m not even a republican, but it will be sad to see them go as competitors. They have lost their way, their message and their collective minds.
You are so incredibly correct!
@Nameless Progressive Clone Ummmn….Please tell me you’re kidding.
You have not seen all the footage there is 14000 hours
@Lance Thumel it was jist a big friendly game of Red Rover!

Rhetorically; They can go someplace else and have their Authoritarian Oligarchy but here, in this country we have a Democracy. The “truth will out” and these traitors will have a rude awakening.
Yes, the truth will eventually win out. The material question is how much damage will be done before it eventually does?
Right on!!
I KNEW IT! I keep saying that there must still be at least SOME earnest, honest Republicans on the hill… it’s sad that there are too few to balance out the filth.
They’re so earnest and so honest, *why aren’t they standing up and speaking the truth?* I have no use for cowards who keep their heads down when they know they should be speaking up.
If this were in canada, it would be treated as treason and insurection.
Someone is sleeping on the job. Wake them the expletive up vote them out
No you are actually wrong
They need to start a new party. I think they will have more support than they realize. A lot of republicans jumped off the Trump ship publicly. They formed groups like Republicans against trump. Biden actually won by a much bigger landslide if all the votes were counted.
Wish all people could be like this congressman! Truth over Lies
Go, Adam, Go! Truth is rare in your party.
To see these animals on video again brings it all back. I hope the FBI is still arresting until they get as many as they can to be an example as well as those in the senate that were involved. We know they were involved, this needs to continually be said and investigated until they are all behind bars. Stump should already be behind bars for representing a POTUS when he isn’t.
God bless Adam Kinzinger for being not only courageous enough to speak out, but to buck his own “family trend.”
I’m a, mostly, life long Dem and, maybe, I don’t think like many others but…my faith teaches me to treat others as I want to be treated so, what hurts Republicans also hurts America, Dems, etc. Hopefully, more educated people will continue (as they did for Joe Biden) ti vote for Democracy minded politicians whether Dem or Repub.
Mr. Kinzinger and Miss. Chaney will be the NEW LEADERS when it is all said and done. Stand Strong !
This Mr. Kinzinger is a man whose integrity marks him out as a man on the rise.
I intend to watch him closely.
He’s not a bad actor like certain republicans……and cute to boot!!!
Others will be watching too, and make sure he never achieves higher office or influence 🙁
@Mikey C why?
That’s exactly what I
said this morning. Liz doesn’t have anything to hold her back now! He just gave her more power. Like I said before Trump is a Putz! 🤣
I appreciate what Rep. Kinzinger has truthfully and insightfully communicated in the light of this disaster in our country, even as it has unfolded. The power of truth will persist, even as the responsible citizens, of whatever party, are required to act responsibly as citizens.
Adam Kinzinger is a breath of fresh air. we need more people like him in office.
Agreed, from a morals and integrity point of view, however his voting record seems to be extremely conservative.
He said unless their party puts it all on the line and stands up for truth their party isn’t going to be around.
Yes!!! Let’s go with that.
I love this guy! Not only did he stand up to his demented family, he put the whole thing out there, now that is some kind of special courage
We all watched Jan 6th on our TV’s and computers for goodness sake we know that Trump goaded them on and then watched the attack from a safe distance while he, his family and handlers reveled in it! They should all be in prison by now.
Why has it never been mentioned that trump watched the insurrection on tv, WHILE it was taking place! I have seen it myself! Why does no one speak of that? 3 hours later, congress people got help! NO!
We watched it all live and there was live coverage of Trump, Miller, and all the other trumpets and his family all watching it as it played out in all that disgusting violence while they partied and danced to it on multi screens. You see they thought they could actually overthrow the government!
Don Jr.’s girlfriend was televised solo dancing while the insurrection was unfolding. It appeared to be a celebratory party! Don Jr. was pointing at the screen and laughing when we were shown the Trump gathering watching the insurrection on TV.
Kinzinger just spoke everything that went through my head since Jan 6th…FINALLY! How are the guilty STILL in a position to judge themselves???? It’s like letting a murderer be the judge of his crime spree. This needs to be fixed NOW!
