Outgoing Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” called former President Donald Trump an authoritarian who abused and twisted Republican voters’ good intentions.
Cooper said, “There have also been attempts at voter intimidation like the two armed people in tactical gear watching a ballot drop box in Arizona last week. How concerned are you about that, the safety of poll workers, the potential of, you know, I don’t know, violence surrounding the election or just the idea of people trying to, people think that they are doing something by being armed watching people drop off at ballot drop boxes which again are surveilled 24/7.”
Kinzinger said, “Think about this, Anderson, so everybody in their life, and I think this is what Donald Trump did well, everybody wants to fight for a cause. They want to fight for a mission. They want to feel like they are doing something bigger than themselves. That’s a noble characteristic both in Americans and, frankly, in humanity in general. If you convince people an election is stolen, you get them to show up at the Capitol on January 6. If you convince people, there is balloting harvesting at drop boxes. You can get these folks to show up armed to intimidate people but also think they are doing something to defend democracy.”

Kinzinger may have THE worst case of TDS of all the cases of TDS...and that’s a pretty high bar. He JUST CAN’T GET OVER TRUMP. Time for an intervention,
What would he know about good intentions. Did one bite him in the a@@?
The sands are falling to the bottom chamber of this dopes time of fame.
Would you like all of us to shut up about human rights abuses from Biden's FBI, DOJ, etc? Going too far to ignore the politicization of such agencies might be not only unwise, but also cowardly.
“Would you like all of us to shut up ...”
No, but the past election and Jan 6 activities aren’t major issues in the upcoming elections, and Trump bringing them up doesn’t help him move the Trump haters to his side.
I’m not sure these are “Trump Haters” but there are posts on FR claiming that Trump abandoned supporters in Jan. 2021. I don’t agree with those posts, but I am not convinced that it’s as easy as not mentioning Jan. 6. I am not going to forget what happened to Ashli nor abuses which are continuing from the Stasi. Is there a way for Trump to thread the needle?
“I’m not sure these are “Trump Haters” “
Not FR people but a lot of the general public such as my wife.
Trump is the sum of all their fears EXCEPT owned by the Luciferians.
Has nothing to do with it. This was Kinzinger's final CNN audition for Chris Licht and he failed.
He'll have to beg his way back into WANG in order to support his family.
It's a shame more people don't understand his dire hand-to-mouth living, everyone could share my Schadenfreude.
Lol, got a deal on rope, how much do you need?
“Is there a way for Trump to thread the needle?”
Trump’s not much of a needle threader.
So he has no problem with drop boxes. Self serving arrogant SOB.
I am not either, but somehow Trump accomplished more than I could imagine doing.
He wants Josef Gobbel’s job. Read it has been open since 1945. Slow reader.
Trump dwells on the "Jan 6 thing?" I think you have it backwards. "The Jan 6 thing" is ALL on the Democrats and their enablers. It's a drumbeat from them every day. Trump's supporters can't hold a candle to the Left when it comes to their obsession with him. Trump's biggest real estate deal came when he received all that open space between their ears RENT FREE!
” “The Jan 6 thing” is ALL on the Democrats and their enablers. “
It’s on both. And now Hillary is saying the the next election(s) will surely be rigged.
The tactical gear might have been overkill. A nice Border Patrol jacket would have sufficed. :)
Kinzinger is a (expletive deleted) (anatomical reference) who deserves to be thrown into a dungeon without charges, bail, trial, or legal counsel. He and his many unindicted co-conspirators in both parties did that to the January 6 patriots, and so they should get the same treatment, or worse.
