Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) on Sunday criticized President Trump for quoting a pastor saying impeachment could trigger a "Civil War-like fracture" in the country.

"I have visited nations ravaged by civil war," Kinzinger tweeted.

"I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant."

The rare rebuke from a Republican member of Congress came in response to Trump tweeting a quote from Pastor Robert Jeffress on Fox News.

ADVERTISEMENT "'If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal'," Trump tweeted.

1st Baptist Church Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress was and is a defender of Donald J. Trump. The MSM Libs HATE Trump because they HATE Us. They can't quite come out say "screw Evangelical Christians" but that's what they feel on the inside. Fight the Good Fight as it says in the Holy Scriptures. Stand Firm. Hell's Gates shall not prevail.

Gosh, didn’t Abraham Lincoln who said a house divided cannot stand? Sounds like he was acknowledging in a more oblique war that civil was on the horizon. It is on the horizon again and DC needs to be put on notice. There is a limit to how much of this the people are going to stand for this outrageous destructive nonsense. Pres. Trump has warned them, they should take heed!

The 1860 election was practically a referendum on civil war, and folks knew it, going in.

Good & correct post. History is made up of processes. People get distracted by looking too hard for events, while missing the slow processes that culminate into events. The problem is that far too many people are not sophisticated enough to recognize and keep tabs on the processes involved, are too deep into their own normalcy bias to even notice. Those are the people the corrupt politicians and media are targeting to manipulate into a false reality, away from the truth of the peril that we are sliding towards.

Pastor Jeffress: I think it’s hard to take Nancy Pelosi’s prayer seriously. It reminds me of a pyromaniac with a match in hand ready to set fire to a building saying, “Please pray with me that the damage I’m about to cause isn’t too severe.” If you’re really sincere about the prayer then put down the dang match… Democrats don’t care if they burn down and destroy this nation in the process… This week I traveled the country and spoke to thousands of Evangelicals and I have never seen then more angry about any issue than this attempt to illegitimately remove this President from office.

WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, Congressmen Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Mike Doyle (D-PA) introduced H.R. 4461, the Network Security Information Sharing Act, which would facilitate information sharing from the federal government to the private sector regarding supply chain vulnerabilities. This bipartisan...

Oh Boy!

I have not heard either one of these RINOs defend this president and they have had ample opportunities. Why are we hearing from them now? Is the The Establishment joining in with the Democrats?

Yeah? I've visited nations ravaged by socialism and communism. So what's your point?

President Trump is following Article 2 section 3, clause 5 of the Constitution:

“he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,”

Kinzinger should be backing his president by bringing those engaged in illegal actions (the Biden Ukraine quid pro quo) and the coup attempts against him to justice—not impeachment!

If America engages in a Civil War, it will not only be our people who suffer. Because of the worldwide interconnections, there will be a collapse like a house of cards worldwide. Starvation and medical shortages will add to the mortality.

What does this idiot think will happen if we can’t change things through elections? He better wake up and pull his head out of his ass.

I heard Rush say that, and have believed the same for months now. The Illinois collaborator is on the other side no matter what he calls himself

We are in the 4th turning (crisis) now. It will only get worse once PDJT is elected to a second term.

Be prepared.

If we get to civil war and need help, we ask Russia.
France helped last time. We don’t want China stepping in uninvited.
We don’t want to lose and be under the new commies.
Russia is pro-Christian, not fond of Islam, has a flat tax, supports gun ownership, and most importantly hates Soros and globalism.
We could do worse for a sponsor.
We can save our country if we are willing to accept help when we need it.
