U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger criticized Democrats for encouraging Republicans to tell the truth but then targeting him in redistricting.

Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, explained his decision to not seek re-election while appearing on ABC News' This Week Sunday morning. He said one reason he opted to retire is that he has not seen other Republicans "move away from lies," amid baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election by former President Donald Trump and his GOP allies.....

He also called out Democrats for drawing him into a district with another GOP incumbent. His district is currently largely based in Chicago exurbs, but Democrats, who control redistricting in Illinois, are carving out its more liberal areas to shore up their own vulnerable incumbents....

He said that he understands that redistricting is being used "everywhere" by both parties to strengthen their grip on Congress ahead of the 2022 midterms. But he still questioned why Democrats drew him into a more difficult district while accusing them of "specifically" targeting him.

"When Democrats do say they want Republican partners to tell the truth, and then they specifically target me, it makes you wonder," he said.

Poor, poor, Karen… acts like he suffers from ‘white privilege’.

The poster boy of stupid!

[Gahanna Bob]

Maybe Adam was angling for a date with AOC.

[fhayek]

I bet he thought he was going to make all kinds of friends across the aisle. Do these RINO’s never learn?

[teeman8r]

So he dumps trump to try and save himself from the Dems redistributing then whines they didn’t play fair.

[eclectic]

The claims are not baseless.

This is a fitting ending. Kinzinger posed as a Tea Party conservative to take out a senior real conservative, Don Manzullo, after the last redistricting.

“When Democrats do say they want Republican partners to tell the truth, and then they specifically target me, it makes you wonder,” he said.

baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election

I am so tired of seeing that in the media. There is more then ample and solid proof of election fraud. The msm has always pushed an agenda, but since the turn of the century they have become down right dishonest about what is going on. And then they went full lying and propaganda when Trump announced his run for POTUS. Now you can't believe anything they say, and it is no better for government agencies. They are just flat out lying. And they wonder why no one trust them.

They already have Liz Cheney.

[DallasBiff]

What a maroon. Can’t believe he was in the military and is so naive.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Screwed by his Illinois Combine buddies. Live and learn.

[Boomer]

Did he expect a parade for being a traitor?

[proust]

It worked for McCain.

[alternatives?]

McCain could never understand the unfavorable press during his presidential run. They had always been on his side.

Technically he might be correct. In Delco, PA the county board of elections published on their web site the counts for 29K more mail in votes counted than mail in voters who voted. So if you publish the stolen election and tell everyone you did it, it technically isn’t fraud just theft.
