Rep. Kinzinger: ‘The Base Is Starting to Turn’ on Trump
Breitbart ^ | 30 December 2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/31/2020 5:32:20 AM PST by Magnatron

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Wednesday on CNN’s “New Day” that President Donald Trump’s base was starting to turn on him.

Kinzinger said, “I think we have to step back and understand, you know, people that feel very disaffected, Donald Trump spoke to them, but here is the problem is up until the election, you know, it’s an election, it’s just a competition of ideas, but after an election, it has turned into an undermining of the democracy. That’s the differentiation between, you know, people that say, ‘Well, Adam, you know, was supportive of the president in the past.’ The difference here is what it’s doing to undermine our democracy and the fact, then, that people that work hard for their money, hard-working taxpayers are giving their money to this, because they are convinced because the president is telling them this that they can win, and they can’t. I mean, the scam in Congress with January 6th all these members of Congress that are, you know, posting crazy things so they can get a ton of followers and retweets and raise money, I think we have to calling it out finally because if we don’t people are just going to believe it.”

Anchor Alisyn Camerota said, “From where you sit are you seeing Republicans distance themselves now from President Trump? I mean, for instance, voting to override the veto, or are you seeing them still cater to his demands, such as Mitch McConnell larding up this bill with President Trump’s demands? Which is it?”

Kinzinger said, “I think they’re privately distancing more. We’ve talked about this a lot, I wish more would speak out, but I think they’re starting to. I tell you, the base is starting to turn.”

From Washington's Farewell Address...

...All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.

However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion....

Notice how Camerota considers giving us our own hard earned money back “lard”. Giving our hard earned money to Venezuela? No problem. THIS is CNN.

the MSM should feel the HEAT.

The Truth is America is BEYOND ready
to burn part of DC to the ground (and salt the remains)
as the People arrest every single criminal working
against them.

The U.S. has devolved into a one-party banana republic with the obligatory Potemkin opposition, aka the republican party.

That little RINO Adam Kinzinger is one of the biggest Never Trumpers who ever walked. He makes me sick to my stomach.

Is that another name for the dead wing of the Republican Party?
The only Republican Party that actually matters is the Trump Republican Party.
All other “wings" add up to close to zero percent of the Republican Party.

“The Republican Party is imploding before our eyes, and worse, they are completely oblivious to their demise...”

The Republican Party has been in zombie mode since 2016, and possibly since 2012.

Without Trump pretending to be a Republican, they won’t last long.

Time to move on.

He really is blind to what the American people want. Maybe voters should start dropping out of the GOPe by the thousands? Become Independents. Perhaps THAT would wake up those useless Rino’s in DC? I did my part awhile back and dropped out after voting for Candidate Trump. Too many traitors on both sides of the aisle these days. Let them sweat it trying to figure out how they will get votes and dollars for reelection.

Adam Kinzinger is NOT the Republican Party.


Time to face reality. Adam Kinzinger is the Republican party. Elected officials and big donor class in particular. We can elect them but they will never represent us when it really matters. Trump has proven that without a shadow of a doubt.

“it has turned into an undermining of the democracy”

That would be true if it weren’t for the mountain of evidence of fraud in the voting prcess.

Wishful thinking on his part.... just another anti Trumper SOB. Trump supporters are more united behind now than before. We need a Trump party what ever it is named.

Add RINO Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) to the TBP List (To Be Primaried).

The guy can’t speak one coherent sentence and calls us a democracy. Fidiot pol.
