Ex-GOP Rep Mocks MAGA’s Double Standards after Tesla Backlash
Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | 3/21/25 | Leigh Kimmins

Posted on 03/24/2025 10:37:38 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger has accused MAGA of brazen hypocrisy over its fury at attacks on Tesla.

Kinzinger, who served as a representative for Illinois from 2011 to 2023 and is vehemently anti-Donald Trump, contrasted the fury at Tesla being boycotted and its cars being vandalized with how Budweiser’s work with transgender social media creator Dylan Mulvaney set conservatives alight with anger in 2023.

“So, here’s an interesting question. Why is it that whenever Republicans decide to boycott a company like Bud Light or Disney, they’re doing it because they’re victims of that company?” he said.

“Yet when America decides to boycott a company like Tesla, because the CEO is running around telling Americans what they can and can’t live without so he can have a tax break, then all of a sudden they’re victims again.”

Kinzinger needs to have some arsonist set his house on fire, then when he complains say it’s just a boycott.

He is really crazy.
RINO term has been abused lately (Too many people are called RINO’s in my opinion), but Adam fits that classification perfectly!

I think, Adam, that it is just the opposite.
I am laughing on these liberals, who spend big money on Tesla to signal their virtues, and are now afraid to drive them!

Kinzinger, like all lib dems, needs an editor; he seems to equate peaceful financial boycott a la Bud Light, with torching automobiles. So either he’s a liar - he is a lib dem after all - or he’s hopelessly stupid - he is a lib dem after all. Thank God he bats for the other side.

This moron can’t see a difference between not buying a beer and torching a dealership?

Shitzinger does not list the Bud trucks or Disney World sites subjected to acts of arson committed by MAGA protesters.

Bullet holes in dealership show rooms and arson of TESLA automobiles were spontaneously occurring at the hands of WHO? ( We know they were well organized and funded by ACT BLUE or similar)

One has to laugh at the supercilious libtard.

Those who thought Mulvaney was a nutcase didn’t buy bud beer, they were not torching Budweiser trucks or factories.

Those who opposed what Disney was doing just simply spent their dollars elsewhere. They didn’t protest and stop people from going into the parks, nor did they torch Disneyland.

We are not the same.

No one destroyed Bud Light cans or bottles owned by other people.

Adam Kinzinger’s 15 minutes were up a few years ago - someone get the hook and drag him off the stage - or better yet, let’s ignore his stupid rantings.

Not drinking someone’s beer IS NOT THE SAME AS BURNING DOWN THE BREWERY.

Even that idiot Adam Kinzinger must know that...

Of course he’s a fool if he thinks arsonists and liberal terrorists are doing the ‘equivalent’ of not buying a Tesla when they destroy cars and dealerships. What an idiot.

Kinzinger was on the J6 House committee.

FJB pardoned everyone.

Or, maybe not.

He should be very careful with public statements.

His political head would look great hanging on the wall of the Oval Office.

This is the standard democrat talking point. Nevermind, no one was firebombing bud Light plants or the people who drank it homes.

Just another fake strawman argument...

I disagree. He is not a RINO but a democrat. He may have called himself a republican, but he was never one.

Uh, Adam, we didn’t set Bud Light delivery trucks on fire. We didn’t shoot out windows at Anheuser-Busch.

And most of us didn't even accentuate the sneer we projected at drinkers of the offending beverage!

It makes me laugh to know that Kinzinger’s own family knows what a POS he is as they have publicly disowned him.

I have not drank one drop of Budweiser since the Dylan Mulvaney idiocy of Budweiser. It is pretty crappy beer anyway. I did not set the Budweiser trucks on fire nor shoot them full of holes. I respect the right of both left and right to boycott a product. What is being done to Tesla and Musk is simply terrorism and illegal.

Do that crap in rural Texas and the only thing the jury would debate is “how long can we lock those bastards up!
