  1. 3:31 “We’re not out to get…or embarrass anybody…we are out to get the truth, and if the truth embarrasses [them], I can’t help that”. Well said, Adam!

    1. @Jaclyn Fry I love the new jobs report (500, 000 new American jobs), love the rebuilding of our NATO allies to deter Putin’s aggression (if Trump was in office he would let Putin take anything he wanted … he did for 4 yrs); I love the new trillion dollar infrastructure bill that will transform and modernize our country (Trump promised but failed to even complete a meeting about infrastructure much less pass any legislation) ; I love not see childish tweets from the POTUS every 5 minutes… and now I don’t have to worry about our president threatening nuclear war with North Korea… remember that one; I love that Biden is actually providing a meaningful federal response to the national health crisis ( Trump ignored it for half of 2020… while it was spreading at his red hat rallies he was calling the pandemic a hoax… how did that turn out. Oh and I’m loving the fact that Biden beat Trump pretty badly during the 2020 election … by 8 million votes … and I’m happy that we no longer have a president in office who was impeached twice and who staged a coup and incited a mob to overthrow our government and burn our constitution to the ground. Very happy the orange clown is gone … for sure

    2. @Jaclyn Fry when is long enough? Like, are we to wait for it to begin in like 2000 years? When is long enough?

  2. This is music to my ears. Especially
    because there is an “R” next to
    Mr. Kinzinger’s name. Time to
    man up and put country before
    a lesser human.

    1. @Cindy Abraham So we are supposed to ignore the video and pictures because you do? Thanks for a view into how you justify of evil…

    2. @Cindy Abraham you believe it or you would ignore it…but you can’t. You sat in the street and yelled NOOOOO when Americans showed how much they hate hillary and elected trump(its on youtube)..can you do it again when biden loses in two years? That was HILARIOUS!

    3. @Jay All day First, if you are so ashamed of your posts that you won’t use a real name, none of this is going to change you. Second, If you were to travel to ANY country outside the US you would realize that our media is a bunch of liars. Third, if you were to read history (other than the redacted version presented in schools today), you would know that what biden is doing now is what we fought against in the cold war era…Americans know this…maybe study American History and learn what WE stand for and why we exist.

  3. If you’re going to be a politician regardless of party, this young man is an excellent example of what that looks like. I’ve watched Rep. Kinzinger since he’s been in office, and he is consistent. “You can’t lie and be consistent at the same time.”

    1. @Dayman Is that all you got? Lol I have heard better insults from Machine Gun Kelly when he miserably failed to diss Eminem.

    2. @Frank Paya First of all, it’s not “everyone.” It’s mostly just the ones that deserve it. And at least in my opinion, I think that there is a difference between those who are more ignorant because they rarely see a poc and so they can unintentionally be racist, and those who are deliberately racist. I can’t speak for everyone though, but those are just my thoughts, and I think that’s why people need to learn and understand the history of our country from the perspective of not just those who were on top, but those who were on the bottom and oppressed, like African Americans throughout much of US history.

    3. President Trump: America First!
      Quid Pro Joe: America Last!
      President Trump closed the Southern Border and made Mexico agree to the Stay In Mexico Policy giving us the least amount of Illegal Infiltrators crossing the Border.
      Quid Pro Joe abolished the Stay In Mexico Policy, put handcuffs on the Border Patrol and ICE giving us the most amount of Border Crossings in U.S. History.
      President Trump put Sanctions on Russia’s Pipeline and opened up Coal, Oil and Gas making us Energy Independent for the first time in 72 years.
      Quid Pro Joe on Day One lifted the Sanctions off the Russians Pipeline allowing it to reach Germany and Northern Europe while shutting down three American Pipelines ending America’s Energy Independent. I wonder how much money The Big Guy got on just that one Campaign Promise to his buddy Putin?
      Quid Pro Joe: America Last!

  4. How tragic for the country that qualities like honesty, integrity and the capacity for critical analysis are so exceptional amongst the political class that they warrant our amazement and fear for the safety of the bearer of such rare traits.

    1. @Jordie hey you didn’t mention you believe in the tooth fairy , Easter bunny , Santa , leprechauns , and Trump being innocent.

    2. ​@Jordie I’m fairly apolitical and that’s just a highly biased perspective from the other side. My hyper-liberal dad has been having the same reaction about far-right outlets for 40+ years. Most tend to show a certain bias but from the middle it’s a lot more obvious that it’s _defensive,_ not malicious. _They’re_ under attack by your “side” as much as you’re under attack by “theirs”. — I wasn’t even on a “side”… I never liked Hilary as a politician and I never liked Trump as a businessman/”personality” but if I ever said I didn’t like Trump I would suddenly be challenged from a dozen sides to defend various liberals/liberal politics _(and the same w/ Hilary and being expected to defend conservative politics)_ — Neither side is the specific problem, the problem is the extremes on _both_ sides making us all engage as if there are _only the extremes on both sides._ Everybody just needs to come in here a bit closer to the middle where we can hear each other without shouting…

    3. @llYossarian You’re speaking way too intelligently for the type of person you’re trying to engage with.

  5. OMG !! If there was Ever a Politician that I’d want on the OTHER SIDE, Kinsinger is the One. At least he knows what morals are, and is fair and honest. This guy is the the Bravest Republican Ever Born. History is going to hold him Very Highly, he deserves it ! God Bless him

    1. If Trump runs in 24 Kinsinger should run as an independent, that would dilute Trumps votes enough to guarantee Trump couldn’t win! The perfect payback!

    2. @Wilamina Brown no he wouldn’t. Only never Trumpers would vote for him. No one likes him or his war hawk family

  6. Kinzinger has been put in a situation of such immense gravity, and having to stand against his own party every single day must be absolutely grueling, so it was awesome to see his huge, happy smile at the very end 🙂 🙂 🙂

    1. This c0ward is leaving office. He’s not doing this for anyone but himself. He knows the MSM has lied about trump for 5 damn years and he knows he can hop on that train. Dude is only for himself. If you want to know a real hero look up tulsi Gabbard!

    2. Even Mitch McConnell is starting to back the Jan 6 commission. Sure he originally wasn’t for it but now he’s just getting sick of Trump.

  7. It’s amazing and scary that telling the truth and showing integrity requires one to retire from American government service.

  8. Adam, you will be missed, You are a true representation of what is republican party shall be. Despite the fact we might not agree on policies much but what is happening is America today is by fart WAY MORE than a mere disagreement on policies. God Bless your and thank you for your hard work and loyalty to FACTS , TRUTH and DEMOCRACY!

  9. Officer Fanone nailed what the statement says about the RNC, and that is: “the RNC has become the political wing of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters.”

  10. Another human being with a shred of integrity. Like if i was American I’d definitely lean left, but I’d be happy to cross the isle and work with a man with this much integrity.

  11. I love this guy. He’s got guts,and real values. When our Afghan interpreters were trying to get out,Adam helped them and did his best to get around Steven Miller’s effort to leave them there. Class act. Bravo,Adam. You da man,dude.

  12. I admire Adam Kinzinger for his courage, assertiveness and commitment to the truth for the american people. He is AWESOME!!!

    1. @Anonymous Person In case if were in a coma; the sore loser lost the election!! Since his ego is so fragile, he can’t bear being called a loser; so, he came up with kidnapped election BS!!!! Kinzinger along with other Jan/6 committee are investigating the “tourist visit” to the capital on that day!! They just want to make sure the tourists entered the US with a valid passport!! No response would be read, as by reading your comment, you certainly are still in a comma! Wishing you happy and speedy recovery!!

      You’re Brainwashed! All the ads for free stuff since Quid Pro Joe stoled the election, Windows, Solar Panels,….. Kickbacks to Demshits in every State of the Union.
      You’re the enemy.
      How do you think the good and decent people of Germany got convinced that it was justifiable to march the Jews to the Gas Chambers? Propaganda. It’s what CNN is filling your head with.

  13. They have a decent candidate right here, instead of looking into him we are trying to look away from the terrible crap they have began to line up.

  14. “If the truth embarrasses someone I can’t help that.” Here’s a guy I don’t agree with on policy that I can respect.

  15. With all due respect, It doesn’t take a Congress to come to the conclusion that Trump is the worst and big time loser president the US had. Close second, George W Bush.

    1. Can you explain why I’m new to politics? I’ve read a lot recently and statistics show that the economy was doing better in 2019 than it is in 2022.
