Adam Kinzinger on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileAmidst unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud following an election, this statement urges evidence-based legal challenges while condemning the spread of debunked misinformation.
“We want every vote counted, yes every legal vote (of course). But, if you have legit concerns about fraud present EVIDENCE and take it to court. STOP Spreading debunked misinformation... This is getting insane.”
Following the January 6th Capitol attack, Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois publicly urged Vice President Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, deeming President Trump unfit.
“Yesterday, it became evident that not only has the president abdicated his duty to protect the people and the people’s house, he invoked and inflamed passions that only gave fuel to the insurrection that we saw here. When pressed to move and denounce the violence, he barely did so while of course victimizing himself and seeming to give a wink and a nod to those doing it. All indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty or even his oath but reality, itself. It is for this reason that I call on the vice president and members of the Cabinet to ensure the next few weeks are safe for the American people and that we have a sane captain of the ship.”
Located amidst a resource referencing the alphabet, this quote reveals a strongly negative assessment of an unnamed U.S. president's character and leadership.
“The worst president the USA ever had. He was a liar and a charlatan. And he was a man with a most fragile ego I ever met.”
