They're going to realize that at this point, you're really picking a person over the health of the party and by extension, the health of the country.
Adam Kinzinger
The Public Record
Adam Kinzinger is a former U.S. Representative for Illinois's 16th congressional district, serving from 2013 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, Kinzinger gained national attention for his outspoken views on various political issues, particularly his criticism of former President Donald Trump. He was one of the few Republicans to support the impeachment of Trump and served on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot.
If this is not a crime, I don't know what is. If a President can incite an Insurrection, and not be held accountable, then, really, there's no limit to what a President can do or can't do. I think the Justice Department will do the right…
Unfortunately, we now live in a world, where lies trump truth, where democracy is being challenged by authoritarianism.
We all swore an oath, in this very chamber, to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, not a political party, and not a single man.
Instead of using our platform to advance the well-being of our nation, and our people, we've turned this institution into an echo chamber of lies.
This is the kind of stuff that every Republican needs to speak out on, just like every Democrat and Republican should speak out when Steve Scalise was shot, but to the Republicans not speaking out now, let me say this, this is going to be…
If you convince people that an election was stolen, you'll get them to show up on the Capitol on January 6th.
It's basically now saying look, nothing matters. I mean, and that's what he is running as, nothing matters.
Our country is a country of laws where every person, including the President, must follow the law and respect the judgment of our courts.
If the rule of law says you can attempt a coup as long as you fail and you won`t be held responsible. That is way more dangerous for this country than some you know fear of short-term violence or riots in the street.
This makes me beyond angry. When I get access to these types of docs, they are in a secure facility. I can't take notes and someone is in the room with me. Trump doesn't care about this country.
He’s asking what is Marjorie Taylor Greene want me to do. Mitch McConnell is just trying to save the Senate. He’s probably not going to do that.
Somehow in the Republican Party, the crueler you are, the more likely you are to win a primary. I think Republicans are in real trouble because we have no leadership.
This seems big. And when you look at some of the president`s biggest kind of cheerleaders, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, have gotten kind of silent, that tells you all you need to know too.
The biggest threat right now to our country is democracy. And if you have Republicans that are running against even left-wing Democrats that believe in democracy and believe in voting, that person should be elected over somebody who…
I recommend we never again elect somebody who does not respect the Constitution of the United States, who does not respect the voters, and who abuses people by lying to them. That is Donald Trump.
I mean, this seems big. And when you, when you look at some of the president's biggest kind of cheerleaders – Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan – have gone kind of silent – that tells you all you need to know, too.
The hypocrisy of folks in my party that spent years chanting, 'Lock her up,' about Hillary Clinton because of some deleted emails or, quote/unquote, 'wiping a server,' are now out there defending a man who very clearly did not take the…
My goodness. I mean, Chuck, if any of us in the House of Representatives, who by our election we have, you know, in essence the highest level of security clearance, if any of us walked out intentionally with even one document from the…
Well, I like a lot of people, feel politically homeless. This obviously is nothing near the party I joined. I have a movement, it`s country first, country1st.com, and we`ve actually -- we`ve played against Madison Cawthorn, we`ve played on…
Liz Cheney and I can speak out against Donald Trump, and we’re going to keep doing this. Kevin McCarthy’s the one that people would listen to. He’s a leader, and he’s too cowardice to do it, and people need to recognize that.
Kevin McCarthy bears 90 percent of the weight I think for Donald Trump’s return. He is a failed leader who has absolutely no - nothing more than his own power in his mind, and he resurrected Donald Trump.
