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.

the actual, for real “whistleblower” in this whole circumstance is the President and this retributive show trial being orchestrated in the House is about Federal retribution upon a whistleblower (President Trump) for having shone the light of day upon their treasonous, seditious conniving

The left wants a civil war. They’ve been trying to disarm citizens for years and limit what weapons we can have. They DID arm Mexican gangs in fast and furious. They are rabid about opening the borders (especially to those they armed) so they could fight against citizens. They have sanctuary cities for their fighters. What was all the billions of dollars Obama secretly gave Iran for? And by the way , how is that legal and why did he have to do it secretly.

They’ll try to take out conservative judges, law enforcement and anyone who disagrees with them. Soros set up antifia to start the civil war.

They have and are trying to tear down the moral fabric of our nation for years. Abortion, destroy the institution of marriage, homosexual marriage, trans everything, allowing drugs to pour into this country killing our young, pervasive sex ed in schools, dumb down schools so people don’t understand they’re rights, movies, Hollywood and the media to sway the naive, welfare which leaves a person without purpose and dependent on government, and change laws to protect themselves from prosecution (just Incase). They have been planning this for years.

The good news is...God is on our side.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

Nahum 1:7
“The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him

Psalm 138:7
“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.”

Your explanation makes sense. We, us and President Trump, are all in this together in some aspects. They get him, they come after us with a vengeance next.Please forgive the rant.

I am with you. I hate wasting my time talking when the only appropriate response is to fight back.

If the Limbaughian “Cold Civil War” ever goes hot, 95% of us, on both sides, would be calling a timeout after three days for the PTSD epidemic and the participation trophies.

On the other hand, Trump usually warns us of bad things that are likely to happen. It’s hard to parse out whether he is just frustrated or trying to tell us something that he he can’t directly say.

I prefer to see it as the 2nd American Revolution — freedom from the deep state.

That may be a possibility, however, a shaky alliance for sure just as it was in WWII.

Jeffress’ words were “Civil-War LIKE fracture”.

That’s a far cry from calling for a civil war.

In my experience, politicians need a sentence comprehension course.

Interesting. “Cancel culture” was trying out it’s tyranny in the 1980s:

I remember Dwight Schulz was recounting a story where he was with Bruce Paltrow (Gwyneth’s dad and a powerful tv producer - also a second cousin to the execrable Gabrielle Giffords) and Paltrow was saying the most vile things about then-President Reagan and it just made Dwight sick to his stomach. Paltrow knew Dwight was a Republican and had went out of his way to stymie his career by not casting him on “St. Elsewhere.” A real world-class a$$hole Brucie was. He died fairly young of oral cancer.

There’s “Cancel Culture” for you. So tolerant of differing viewpoints...

“Liberals” are really totalitarian fascists. They even stole “liberal” from its original meaning, which is the polar opposite politically from its dictionary meaning.

Of course! Their entire basis and existence is hypocrisy.
