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.

Here we go. Civil Wars aren't when a few men go after an evil man. Civil War is when LOTS of men go after the closest bad men.

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

Yeah, so?

“I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant.”

You’re a rino idiot.

Resign.

I don’t see the liars on the left stopping short of starting CWII. That is their goal.

The media is not media. It’s just Democrats who work in the media, and the whole group of ’em is aligned. And what we are in the middle of now, folks, is a Cold Civil War. It has begun. It is a Cold Civil War as opposed to hot. There’s no hostilities declared. There’s no two clear sides of this. And certainly no shots have been fired. But nevertheless we’re in the midst of a Cold Civil War, and it encompasses a lot of things.

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. Among the politically-engaged, at least, if not yet among the population at large, we are very close now. If the skills over into everyone else, and how it will spill over, is anyone’s guess.

This is a perfect example of a thrown rock and a dog in the pack yelping.
They KNOW where this is going.

Consider if Trump is re-elected. The hate Trump crowd will resort to violence and attempt a Bolshevik style revolution. I guess that qualifies as a Civil war.

I could never imagine that a Deep State could do what they are doing to a president. It's beyond repugnant.

And all Kinzinger can do is get upset at the legitimate reaction by our president.

Kinzinger has been so proud of himself...fighting for everybody...outside the USA.

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

So, have I you twit. My government sent me to Guatemala during their civil war. I believe WITH A PASSION we are headed for a civil war in this country. The only question is how do we get there? It most certainly will be because the left drags us there. Will it because of what the left does to Trump? Or will it be another issue that causes a fracture? - Such as when Trump places RBG

All I know is this: The left has put us in a place where we can't live together much longer.
