Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) is upset that Trump won't get in line with Republicans in Congress.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) complained on Thursday that Donald Trump was motivated by an "election in November," and that is making it difficult for Republicans to be unified in negotiations over virus relief.

Speaking to the "Guy Benson Show" for a radio interview, Kinzinger said, because of Trump, Republicans may concede to Democrats and pass something because "the pressure's too great."

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have been involved in back-and-forth negotiations with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows but have yet to come to an agreement.

House Democrats a second round of virus relief in May, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to take up the bill. Led by McConnell, Republicans allowed the $600 supplement to unemployment benefits to expire at the end of July, even as unemployment remains high at 10.2%.

Hey Congressman, two quick points the Heroes Act was passed two months ago, how did you vote...........and just guess who has been sitting on it for over two months, Trump and #Moscow Mitch...............

And Secondly how does it really feel collecting a $14,500 a month pay check from taxpayer and just fucking over the populations and doing absolutely nothing and whining, while kids go hungry, people are getting kicked out of places with a roof over there head, and 55 million people unemployed, while you get $14,500 a month...................
