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.

We used to have a peaceful transition of power every election cycle. But the democrats have changed that. I hope that congress pulls it’s head out of it’s ass and allows this dully elected president to execute his office.

Trump should time it down just a little, only a smidgeon, a tiny itsy, bitsy bit.

I agree.
This is all Trump’s fault.

It most certainly will be because the left drags us there.

Don't forget the Neve-Trumpers, they too are as complicit as the Democrats.

How?It is not President Trump that is doing the attacking or the accusing nor is he making lies up on them. I suppose that he could tuck his tail between his legs and run like hell and let them have their way with us.What he should be doing is having the coup cartel arrested and locked up.

How we get there? All the rats posturing and BS alienates the middle unaligned voters. President Trump and a host of Republicans win in the next election cycle. The left, having overplayed their hand realizes this is do or die for them and their deep state gravy train of money and power. They go all in, declare the election a fraud, appoint themselves self proclaimed winners and rulers. They get physical first, trying to forcibly remove duly elected officials. Our government calls upon true patriots to help defend against the leftist insurgency and things get ugly for anywhere from a couple of weeks to a year or two before we burn out the socialist cancer.

Any Republican lawmaker who agrees to on CNN or MSNBC to be interviewed shows to me that they do not have the intelligence to discern the bias of these journalists.

I’m just trying to help Trump. Civil War usually results in the death of a significant portion of the population. The president of the United States has to be careful about messaging and the panic that could result. I really admire Trump and mean him no I’ll will or want to counter his agenda in any way. I just want the guy to watch what he says so he diesn’t Appear like a madman to independents and undecideds.

Shep Smith just used the word “repugnant” this week too, when discussing an associate of Trump, Joe DeGeneva.

I consider this not a coincidence...

Pretty much when an asshat like Kinzinger says something like this, you know he’s a corrupt criminal afraid of exposure.

The Dems have been frothing at the mouth for impeachment since the HOUR that Trump won the election. So yes, attempts to impeach him are going to be seen as partisan attacks by a dangerous Deep State. What needs removal, is the deep state. By force I hope....brutal force.

Kinzinger might be living in a bubble of a frail mental state.

I see from the photo, that Kinzinger is an insulated, sheltered child.
