Adam Kinzinger on the January 6th Insurrection

Despite criticism from media, colleagues, and even his own family, Republican Adam Kinzinger bravely joined the House select committee to investigate the January 6th insurrection. In his new book, Renegade: What Defending Democracy Taught Me about Life, Liberty, and My Country, Kinzinger uses personal anecdotes to take readers on a journey through the details of that harrowing day, how the attack was indeed foreseeable and welcomed by President Trump, and shed light on the pivotal decisions that led Kingzinger to break from his own party. Join Chicago Humanities for a searing account and the lessons that all Americans can learn from one of the most consequential days in the country’s history.

    Adam should become a part of a restructured Republican Party that I described earlier. He seems to have a strong hold on what his job is about. He seems to be intelligent so I think he could pass the Constitution test. I would definitely vote for him.

    (1) There's _plenty_ of video footage that has been released to the public that shows otherwise. (2) Breaking and entering (which, again, is on video) is still a crime even if it isn't accompanied by physical violence against people. (3) So is attempting to prevent congress from carrying out one of its constitutionally-mandated functions, regardless of how you do it.

    Did you ever stop and think that when you’re on on a stage in front of thousands of people millions of people watching TV that just saying that maybe Biden should drop out is going to have a ripple effect that could very well weaken his stance I think that is a Bonable. I love you I do I think you’re wonderful, butI’m passionate about Biden. I’m passionate about the progress he made about his character. His strength ideas he has, and has been putting into motion for the people don’t talk about him dropping out that would be the worst thing this country could face. Donald Trump has everybody running around he’s holding holding them by the hand and he’s manipulating people he’s lying and he gets away with it, so why on the world would you think that iDEN should give up his wonderful character his wonderful gentleman his wonderful policies, his strength and getting policies done in this terrible Congress he does it and he’s clever he knows when to know to what you

    He knows when to compromise and yet still get a lot of what he wanted in the first place. I think that we don’t need to ask for a louder president we need to ask for more intelligent voters Biden is the choice you keep saying things like maybe he should drop out you have to listen to his speeches. Do you ever read his reports do you ever listen to the statistics of what he has already done for this country and his plans for the future who is going to take that mental from him and actually do a better job. I think you’re right as far as yeah we have to be concerned about the democracy without that we have nothing but I just don’t like the way you discount Biden from getting the votes. He needs to be president just because some people who he’s wishy-washy he’s too quiet those ignorant people people that don’t Pay attention to the news people don’t don’t listen to even Nikki Haley Biden should not be discounted and I’m a little bit angry that you’re standing on a public forum and telling people all the people watching that maybe he should drop out maybe he’s not powerful enough. I still believe Trump manipulates the poll numbers and I don’t think you should laugh at me for that Because look what he has look what he did all his life manipulating numbers to get what he wants and surely there are plenty of mag geniuses around that can fudge up a computer pole number so I would not be so quick to be clouded by him that’s exactly what he would want. That’s exactly why he would manipulate the poll numbers to get people have false fear, and then give up on their Patriotic ideas and feel helpless and hopeless against Trump who is just a maggot don’t compare President Biden with any other person running for office he’s there he’s wonderful he’s got more ideas and all we need is more people maybe not talking smack about him and thinking he should get off the Ballot maybe if you use your powerful words to talk up what he is doing what he has doing and how important that is for a country I know we have to beat Donald Trump. That’s obvious but beating Donald Trump is not gonna fix the economy it’s not gonna get these programs that President Biden has put into motions. It’s not gonna help the people get lower drug prop. Who knows who else will get the presidency if it wasn’t fighting who knows if they could keep up with his progress and I think we need that progress desperately Trump has ruined this country and we need healing and we don’t just need healing by him getting taken off the ballot if President Biden is not reaching the voters it’s not his fault he doesn’t need to go around like a talking head despicably talking himself up like Donald Trump people should see the ones that represent him should make sure that that word gets out loud and clear and that’s what I would address if I had some power tomove things around I would get his darn people it’s political people he advisers his people everything to talk up what he does you do not have to make up anything that he he does, he just does it he keeps his head down and does it he’s one of the few politicians I’ve ever known that is humble, and yet strong that cares, but knows how to do the right thing by the people within the confines of the problems of Congress and other things don’t don’t don’t we can his stance speak for him if you think he’s too quiet speak out for him and Adam if you are not aware of all the stuff that he’s done and how good a person and a president he is that’s shame on you never mind with your idealism just to get Donald Trump out of office or keep him out of office you have to have somebody that can also at the time thatTrump is going down can continue to run run this country smoothly and then upward hill battle to make things get back to normal. I don’t know any other candidates that could and I’m feeling pretty angry.

    They didn’t vilify Trump. Trump has committed crimes, and betrayed his oath to the Constitution. His followers idolize a man of low moral values and weak character, someone they would hate for their children to emulate. Trump says the government is attacking him (rather than system of law and order taking him down), that the same attacks could happen to his followers. That is not based on reality. Unless you are able to get access to government secrets and commit fraud in any business you’re engaged in, you can’t possibly be charged with his level of fraud and corruption.

    Your memory is off -- Roosevelt won as a Republican (first as Vice President in 1900, and then as President in 1904), and then lost (in 1908) as a Progressive.
