The Hill ^ | 07/27/2021 | Jordan Williams

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) became emotional as he reflected on the events of Jan. 6, saying there’s a “difference" between "a crime—even grave crimes— and a coup.”

Kinzinger— an outspoken critic of former President Trump— is one of two Republicans serving on the select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6.

All the fake crying and emotions will be their undoing. Even a leftist millenial basemnt dwelling soy creature can tell a bad performance from the truth.

He's a betrayer, like a scorned bitch. Here's what the trash-bag has to say, comparing the BLM riots to Jan 6:

“Not once did I ever feel like the future of self-governance was threatened like I did on January 6,” Kinzinger said.

Just as Nancy would have him say. We absolutely MUST make sure this piece of utter DOG S*** never sees political office again.

How much more of this do we have to take and were the hell are the so called republicans that we elected to represent us? It’s one thing for the dems to pull this crap, they are the lowest form of scum in existance. But the republicans are even worse for their silent support of it. I hope they all rot in hell.

IF this had been a coup, they’d know it.

May God cause derision and total chaos in the left and those that kowtow to their nonsense, and expose them for the liars they truly are- May True justice prevail- Sham trials and investigations and impeachments are a stain o n t his country-

The Coup happened in the early morning hours of November 4, 2020.

Governments can NEVER EVER be trusted to examine themselves. Mr. Kinzinger, there is also a difference between being an elected public servant who represents the will of his/her voters vs a self-serving parasite who thinks he/she is above the people who pay his/her salary.

Was the American Revolution just a ‘coup’? Who decides WHEN “in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another.....”?

Big questions, and ones that people like Kinzinger are not qualified nor empowered to answer unilaterally - though he thinks he is. That kind of hubris spells the end of representative government, and has fueled the ascension of many a totalitarian.

Sorry, you are commenting using rational thought.

There is no rational thought in a One Party State where Society in fed Leftists Propaganda every minute of every day by a sympathetic Media.

Also remember that Propaganda isn’t just what people are told, it is what people aren’t told.

We can bang on our Keyboards all day long but we don’t control the flow of information or the optics that will be disseminated from this Show Trial.

That was the entire purpose of this exercise, a choreographed attack on anyone who doesn’t buy into this January 6th was “worse than the Civil War” mantra.

The Traitors in our Government are using their power to convince the People that anyone opposing them are the real Traitors and they are getting away with it. That is reality.

Kinzinger - suffers from a political version of the Patty Hearst mental syndrome - siding with his natural opponents, after years of indoctrinating beat downs by them, which were only possible because he did not have a principled political spine to start with.

“.... the chief prerequisite for a coup is control of all or part of the armed forces, the police, and other military elements.”

not even remotely close to meeting the definition. If anything, Pelosi presided over an attempted Coup of the existing President by denying the request for back up.
