GOP congressman suggests he regrets his vote for Trump
yahoo ^ | January 4, 2021 | MICHAEL ISIKOFF

Describing President Trump’s phone call with Georgia’s top election official as “frightening,” an Illinois Republican congressman suggested that he now regrets his vote for the president and might even be open to a third party if his GOP colleagues continue to echo baseless conspiracy claims about a stolen election.

In an interview with Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast, Rep. Adam Kinzinger also said he is worried about the prospects for violence around the Capitol on Wednesday, when tens of thousands of Trump supporters are expected to show up for protests aimed at pressuring lawmakers to block Joe Biden’s election. Those protesters, he said, have been victimized by a “scam” perpetrated by Trump.

“I would say if I knew everything I know now, I’d probably think differently,” Kinzinger said when asked about his vote for Trump last November. While he had supported the president “based on policy,” Kinzinger said that Trump’s behavior since the election — questioning the legitimacy of the election and threatening “the underpinnings of democracy” — represents a “massive demarcation” in presidential behavior. He added at one point: “I’ll tell you everything I’m hearing is, he’s freaking out generally.”

Kinzinger, a former Air Force pilot who represents a district southwest of Chicago, has been one of the few House Republicans to speak out against the president’s attempts to overturn the election. His increasingly critical comments illustrate the tensions and deep divisions that have broken out within the GOP this week as Trump has stepped up his demands that members of Congress take the extraordinary step of rejecting the Electoral College votes giving Joe Biden the presidency.

Notice the Republicans that INGSOC-Yahoo media like to talk to about when concocting stories like these tend to be from places like Illinois, therefore the first thing that makes this one suspect.

Kinzinger was a Never Trumper from the word go.

Because law-abiding Antifa would never dress up in MAGA gear to cause riots.

Trump demanded the SoS give him the votes the data scientists showed were stolen from him. Why is that so horrible, RINO Kinzinger?

don’t forget, ISIKOFF is one of the coup plotters:

Wikipedia: Michael Isikoff
Michael R. Isikoff is an American investigative journalist who is currently the Chief Investigative Correspondent at Yahoo! News. He is the co-author with David Corn of the book titled Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, published on March 13, 2018....

A September 23, 2016 Yahoo News article written by Isikoff was cited by Federal authorities in a FISA warrant application in order to justify the surveillance of Carter Page, who was alleged to have a connection to Russian authorities during the 2016 presidential campaign. This article is cited in the Nunes memo which makes reference to Isikoff’s September 23, 2016 Yahoo News article...

Is this RINO sure he was in the same Air Force we were in? I have my doubts.

Isokoff looks like he runs in the same circles as John Podesta and Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe they like Chicken with Walnut Sauce.
