Adam Kinzinger’s lame-duck status in the U.S. House of Representatives gives him a shield against the attacks that are sure to come at him from Donald Trump and his cabal of cultists.
Why would they attack the Illinois Republican lawmaker? Because he is calling Trump out for what he is: a liar.
Kinzinger is one of two GOP members of a House select committee examining the 1/6 insurrection. He said recently he wouldn’t run for re-election in 2022. So he is in his final term in the House. That means Trump cannot do him any political harm.
Trump recently blasted the 1/6 committee, declaring it is intent on “smearing him.” Kinzinger is having none of it. Nor should he.
If only other Republicans in Congress would grow the stones they shouldn’t have to grow simply to speak the truth about the former Liar in Chief, who is trying to prevent the select committee from obtaining White House documents it needs to get to the truth behind the 1/6 insurrection.
Let us keep in mind: Donald Trump fomented that riot.
Thus, the House panel needs to know the truth behind what happened on 1/6.
Adam Kinzinger is speaking the truth by calling out Trump’s lies.
