If you put them on CIA truth serum, they're going to tell you, yes, Donald Trump is a bigger threat to democracy.
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.
Yes, kind of in a way. I mean, look, he's a professional victim. He's the best at being a victim of anybody I've ever met.
I see if he's reelected, not a slide, a sprint. Because in January 6th, we saw the guardrails, you know, of democracy held.
Israel has an absolute right to defend itself, and it's not a pretty process.
I do only in that because I don't want to give up on that fight. I mean, this country needs two healthy parties, a healthy Democratic Party, and a healthy Republican.
Those guardrails are being ripped out. And that's what I see as what would happen, frankly, if he's reelected.
I guarantee you Donald Trump will not put people around him that are loyal to the Constitution and will push back.
It's incredible to say that we want to support Israel aside from the offset to say we want to support Ukraine against Russia.
The one issue is, do you believe in democracy or do you believe in authoritarianism? And I think that's the only thing we should be voting on.
It's disingenuous for McCarthy or anybody to blame the Democrats for this motion to recommit.
I worry, though, that whoever runs for speaker is going to have to commit to no Ukraine aid.
I don't think they should, unless he basically promises he'll start passing bills with Democrats.
everything that he says or that is said like, this is all about a threat of a primary.
the moderate wing of the party is seeming to capitulate on the issue of like Ukraine funding, and that's something I don't understand.
Yes, it is, and it is reckless. And it's everything we know about Donald Trump, which is the only thing he cares about is himself.
Democrats have every right to fight fire with fire, but please don't because you right now are the adults trying to hold democracy together.
Yes, he can. I mean, it is a risk and it is a risk and a decision that my Democratic friends have to make?
They've done nothing. I mean, I guess they didn't default on debt. That's a good thing. They're about to close down the government. That's not a good thing.
So yes, the train is out of the station. They're going to have to try to impeach Joe Biden, regardless of what they come up with.
There's a 1 percent to 2 percent chance it's logistics. There's a 98 percent to 99 percent chance it's the optics. Look, politics has become, you know, from even 10 years ago when there were moments you could put politics aside and do what…
It is absolutely outrageous that at a moment -- I couldn't imagine being governor of any state, having a tragedy like that, and then turning around and thinking about how this could affect my election.
Why is he gaining so much? Because nobody that is running for president with the exception of Chris Christie, Asa Hutchison and Will Hurd are speaking out and saying that what Donald Trump did was wrong.
