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.

What part of "CIVIL-WAR-LIKE FRACTURE" does Kinzinger NOT understand? Apparently, the "LIKE" and "FRACTURE" part!

Another LOW IQ RINO!

“The pastor didn’t say it would cause a civil war. He said it would cause a Civil War-like fracture. There is a difference”

Exactly... but the media chose to leave off the last two words: like fracture. A civil war-like fracture.... it is almost here now and it is being brought on by the democrats, Pelosi and Schitf.

No, what’s repugnant is not knowing your ass from a hole in the ground, but pretending to be a leader.

Kinzinger is pooping his whining pants because he knows he won’t survive a hot civil war. Boo hoo.

And that’s why with any quote I read or hear, I try to find the original, because I can’t trust the media to do their job and give it to me straight.

Its not low IQ.
Everyone knows where this is going. The screeching is coming from those who will benefit the least.

Imagine a civil war started by the democrat politicians rogue overreach. Then imagine the President at the time being President until we are at peace again when we could have fair elections. Now imagine that civil war lasting 10 years. Trump could be President for another 10 years!!

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

Then you know the importance of not needlessly sparking one here.

He has visited countries ravaged by civil war. Has he visited Baltimore or Chicago?

Yet another out of touch Republican who does not grasp just how close this country is to exploding, much to the delight of the rest of the world who are envious. But who will rue the day when it does happen, and the U.S ceases to exist.

Maybe when he was in such countries he should have taken a look at how those wars started. Keep ignorantly poking a stick at that funny looking ‘paper lantern.’

Let me guess - Kinzinger doesn’t own a computer and gets all his news from the New York Times..

Imagine a civil war started by the democrat politicians rogue overreach.

If anyone is wondering when it will happen, compare to past historic events. The Revolution was an event that happened slowly and built to a crescendo. Same with the Great Depression, and great wars. They build up and then shots are fired. We're in the beginning stages of a civil war like fracture, and the democrats will one day go too far. Antifa-like groups will hurt conservatives, and then shots will ring out and leftists will die. I can imagine such things will happen.

Only President Trump can prevent an all-out war from happening. May God help him in staying the violent demoncrats from hurting conservatives on a mass scale.

More likely the press is going out of their way to look for this sort of material to try to divide the right. Dividing us is the ONLY hope the left has.

All of the hysterical impeachment whistleblower, “News,” articles blasting all over the place in the last five days seems to be an attempt to get some unhinged soul to lose it, and engage in violence.

It would fit their agenda.
Stay armed, FRiends.
