Kinzinger: I Hope Kevin McCarthy ‘Gets Help’ — Something Is Broken

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he believed Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) “needs help” because of two physical altercations he had with the ex-speaker.

Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “You are a combat veteran. You served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and you have watched many politicians speak as if Congress itself were a battlefield. They want to score points for their side no matter the costs. This week a Republican lawmaker accused Kevin McCarthy of giving him a sucker elbow to his kidneys. In the book, you write about two physical altercations with McCarty. Tell us what happened.”

You need help with all that crying you do...🙄

[Nervous Tick]

The projection is STRONG with this one.

[Socon-Econ]

This feud needs to end. For the good of the USA.

[Ikeon]

Next time it happens, He needs to turn around and cold cock him, say it was a “reflex” from living in D.C.

[gov_bean_ counter]

He’s one to be talking about people needing help.

Per Rep Burchett, McCarthy elbowed Kinzinger and himself in the back. I don’t trust Kinzinger as far as I can throw him, but Burchett has been a straight arrow so far.

Show us on the doll where Bad Kevin touched you, Adam

LOL!!!!!

"“You are a combat veteran."

Kinzinger was initially a KC-135 Stratotanker pilot and flew
missions in South America, Guam, Iraq and Afghanistan."

Strictly speaking, on reading kinzinger's military bio,
he appeared to be more remf and aircraft pilot.

If the stories are true, McCarthy is an arrogant oligarch.

So it’s a good thing that power was removed from him and placed in somebody else.

All those trips Kevin took to Maralago I believe Trump gave him a chance to change his ways. He likely pretended in order to get the speakership then walked back on his promises. Now he’s SOL and deserves zero sympathy. He’s going to elbow the wrong guy and get his clock cleaned.

Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “You are a combat veteran.”

What BULLSHIT. Flying a refueling tanker miles above goat herders with rusty AK-47s is NOT combat.

[SIDENET]

Send them to the Thunderdome.

“You are a combat veteran. You served in Iraq, Afghanistan...”

Odd that he didn’t lead with, “You are a political turncoat who served on the kangaroo January 6 committee and lost your House seat in the bargain...”

[VTenigma]

This is the first statement I can agree with the crybaby on.

“So it’s a good thing that power was removed from him and placed in somebody else.”

I’m also very happy that Kalifornia got bitch-slapped in this too. First we had a commie (twice) as Speaker then we had a RINO’s RINO fag from there too. America is too big a place to have these losers from the same state.

[neverevergiveup]

Grandstanding by Tapper as well. I'm sick of how politicians (e.g. Kerry, Kinzinger, Blumenthal etc.) have used their time in the military as a way to score political credibility and points. There are scores and scores and scores more who have put incalculably more on the line in the military who never have the soapbox that too many like the above do.

Also, I don't remember Tapper or anyone else on the left defending GW Bush when he was being treated as a draft dodger for being in the National Guard.

Birds of a feather...

Adam is a spy who infiltrated republican ranks. He has lied about everything. Adam speaks for the swamp every time. Nobody should listen to a word he says.
