Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” declared that the Republican Party was not a “Trump-first party.”
Anchor Chuck Todd said, “This is going to be a lonely effort for a while, I imagine. There are some folks that are wondering is the Republican Party tied to Donald Trump, can that party survive?”
Kinzinger said, “So I think that’s the question. I was disappointed over the last few weeks to see what seemed like the Republican Party waking up and then falling asleep again and saying what matters is if we can win in two years and we don’t want to tick off the base. All we’re doing is saying what does it take to get re-elected. It’s January of a new term we have to remind people, the kid born in the inner city should have the same opportunity as the kid born in the richest suburb. That’s what we’re standing for. This is an opportunity for folks to join that believe putting the country over party.”
Todd said, “I want to put up a photo that was incredibly striking. Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican Leader with the former president at Mar-a-Lago. What was amazing to me, Congressman Kinzinger, it was the former president wanting to rush that photo out. In an incredible moment of weakness, he was worried nobody wanted to be with him. Here is Kevin McCarthy saying no, no, no, we wanted to be with you, and he rushed it out. Is it self-reinforcing, the party has now retied itself to Donald Trump?”

Trump puts the country first and those who undercut Trump undermined the country.
We will never forget.
Lol I see what you did there.
How would the likes of someone such as Kinzinger think he can come up against President Trump and the Trump Army? What a putz.
The GOP (including the GOPe) cannot win without US. They simply don’t want to admit it, but it is fact.
Maybe, just maybe the specter of an emergent Patriot Party will focus what passes for “minds” of these quislings.
Typical Illinois Combine politician. For him, it’s country club first.
And I bet these same sorts of people were trotted out following Nixon resigning over Watergate in order to basically have Republicans tell the media what the media wanted to hear from Republicans.
He’s a YGL of the world economic forum- he’s a NWO!
One of the 10 GOPE PUKES who voted to impeach..that’s why he was RUNNING to be a guest with Schmuck Toad. Toad always gets GOPE guests who are willing to burn their own party for Dem interests..
The country clubs are history.
No, the GOP has THEIR version of America, which is opposite the America that President Trump reminded us we have always had.
You’re next, Adam.
L
Why would any patriot give Chuck 'I hate conservatives and Christians' Todd the time of day?
Hey Adam if it was you would not be in the trouble you are now. No $$$ for you and all RINOs.
Kinzinger is in need of a primary......
But it seems like it was just "McCain First, Last, and Always" for him.
As an IL native I can assure you that there are no republicans in IL, only Ds with a different colored shirt. They feed from the same trough.
The majority of the GOP is a globalist party, where the interests of Americans are put dead last. The Rat’s way out of the bag.
I hope this worm loses the next election.
I just wish the clown knew how to speak English.
