Retiring anti-Trump Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois used the occasion of his farewell address from Congress to slam his fellow Republicans for sheltering “the ignorant, the racist.”
Mr Kinzinger, whose popularity with his own party members tanked due to his service on the House Select Committee on the January 6 attack, decided not to run for re-election to his House seat. He and Rep Liz Cheney are the only two Republicans on the committee, and neither will be returning to Congress next year after she lost a primary challenge to a pro-Donald Trump challenger.
In his speech, Mr Kinzinger did not mince words about the direction his party has taken.
Kinzinger: The great party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan has turned its back on the ideals of liberty.. and has embraced lies.. The Republican party used to believe in a big tent.. Now, we shelter the ignorant, the racist…

BLM is racist. Who shelters BLM?
If he thinks we’re racist, he has obviously gone Woke.
Then go join the democrat party you dope. It’s the party of the Klan.
Just another liar leaving …… good
“If he thinks we’re racist...”
He’s obviously projecting. Goodbye, turd.
La Raza, NAACP, BLM, ADL ...
When people say stuff like this I wonder if they believe it themselves . I kind of doubt it.
Anyone know what that refers to? Is he taking something out of context or totally fabricating? I'm guessing it's the former but I don't discount the possibility that he's making things up.
I don’t get the “racist” part of his farewell speech. Ignorant is all around us so I can’t question that....
From looking at the guy and his facial expressions and demeanor, you don’t have to be a psychiatrist to realize that this guy has mental health issues.
Get a job.....
Ever notice how these people think they are being all sorts of profound and “statesman” like.
And they end up sounding like a badly written speech from a B movie?
It's a kind of reverse virtue signaling. When Kinsinger calls us "racists," it warms the cockles of his heart.
Bye Felicia.
America would have been immeasurable better off had his Democrat opponent been elected rather than him.
Kiss My Red, White, and Blue arse, Kinzie.
I finally got around to reading “Democracy: The god that failed”. Meant to for about 15 years...LOL. Anyway, one thing it made me aware of that I didn’t know was that the neo-cons that seized power in the Republican party (Irving Kristol, Elliott Abrams, etc), were mostly former democrats. The pro-family stuff was just BS, goal was always the NWO. Glad to see today’s neo-cons like Cheney and Kizinger are being chipped away at, but man there is a long way top go.
