Kinzinger wants House Republicans to find some courage

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who announced last week he would not seek reelection in 2022, said Sunday that he was in no position to rescue the Republican Party from its infatuation with former President Donald Trump.

After Kinzinger’s announcement, Trump said, “2 down, 8 to go!” It was a reference to Kinzinger (R-Ill.) being the second House Republican who had voted to impeach him to announce his retirement, following Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez.

“This is not on, you know, the 10 of us that voted to impeach,” Kinzinger said on ABC’s “This Week.“ “It's not on [Wyoming Rep.] Liz Cheney and I to save the Republican Party. It's on the 190 Republicans who haven't said a dang word about it, and they put their head in the sand and hope somebody else comes along and does something.”

Acknowledging his decision was “potentially” a win for Trump, Kinzinger said it is the GOP establishment that is constantly handing Trump victories, particularly in supporting his baseless statements that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

They believe it takes a lot of courage to forget basic hygiene and kiss TFG's enormous ass.
