GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger's staffer says the office temporarily turned off its phones amid 'overwhelmi

'overwhelming' threats

Fielding hundreds of angry calls a day.

Thousands of people leaving irate voicemails.

One caller threatening to shoot up GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger's Washington, DC office.

These are just some of the things Kinzinger's congressional staffers have had to deal with in recent months as a result of his participation in the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection.

As more is revealed in these hearings of the J6 Committee, they're going to lose their shit. If Trump encourages them, and I think he just can't stop himself, he should be taken into custody. We can't have a seditious conspiracy ringleader out there encouraging more violence. Of course, if he is taken into custody, some will take that as a cue to try and start a rebellion. These next few months leading up to the election are critical, and the election itself is going to be disputed in a lot of places. Just about anything could happen.

Something has to be done about fux nooz propaganda. They're doing putin's work for him, and it has to stop. What happened to "enemies foreign AND domestic"?

These are the same people who crucified Jesus.

Why can't we just do whatever they say without opposition or sticking up for the rule of law or the Constitution? We just don't appreciate the concept of minority rules! So divisive of us.

He's got a new baby, also.

He doesn't get enough credit for his courage, in my opinion.
