Trump attacks Kinzinger, other Republicans who backed impeachment in CPAC speech
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | March 1, 2021 | Lynn Sweet

Making his first public speech since leaving office, ex-President Donald Trump on Sunday targeted for defeat leading Trump critic Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and Republicans who voted to impeach Trump or convict him after his Senate trial.

“Get rid of them all,” said Trump before an adoring crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in Orlando.

Trump read off the names of the 10 House members, including Kinzinger, who voted to impeach him a second time plus senators who voted to convict him, including Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

On “Face the Nation,” Kinzinger said, “I think we are a party that’s been for too long pedaling in fear, using fear as a compelling way to get votes. And fear does motivate. But after a while, fear can destroy a country, can destroy narratives and it can destroy a democracy. And we have to quit peddling that.”

Several Illinois county GOP organizations and the Chicago Republican Party have censured Kinzinger in the wake of his impeachment vote. The Chicago GOP party vote on Feb. 23 was among 34 ward committeemen.

145 House members who voted to retain Liz Cheney need to be replaced along with the Senators up in 2022 that must be replaced Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Blunt, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio.

Dude you’re harsh. I don’t understand why you want to get rid of Scott, for example. And what you keep saying should happen ain’t never gonna happen.

Flooding the field is how they get their incumbents past primary elections with a plurality.

The fact you don't understand makes you part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Pay closer attention, Scott is like every other SC politician, a Cheap Labor Express stooge, he has had many uncomplimentary things to say about President Trump as well.

It probably won’t happen, which is why we need a new party.

The GOP agenda is the opposite of MAGA.

They have spent 30 years importing a permanent Democrat majority with the aim of turning the USA into North Mexico so it can be subsumed to the UN.

Lynn Sweet is the Washington political columnist for “The Chicago Sun-Times.”

Solidly left of center and pro-Democrat on all subjects. She is defending Kinzinger because it advances the Biden agenda.

Continue on your quixotic crusade and you will see that what you wish for just will not happen.

3rd party? When Trump already has the support of over half of the voters as a Republican. Trump owns the Republican Party. I say carry on President Trump. Solidify your already strong and loyal base and grow it, to the best of your ability. I strongly believe that Trump is doing exactly what he should be doing.

The Assistant Democrats (GOP) just assisted the Democrats to cheat Trump out of office.

We will never Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.

“Retake the House and purge Senate Rinos in 2022.”

Exactly right. But it ain’t gonna be easy unless and until states get their voter laws straightened out. And it sure would be nice and probably necessary to minimize mail-in voting. How do you do that? There’s the rub.
