Kinzinger is, without a doubt, one the Illinois Democratic Party’s most influential “young leaders”. His future is assured…
Attaboy Adam!!!
Trump didn’t lose and there will be no president Biden and hopefully this loser is out next time.
The Republicans did well in the congressional elections because those who got elected supported DJT. Now some want to undermine him.
Those Republicans who believe that principles will prevail stood by while the Democrats who gave up on principles long ago and changed the rules in of the game while Republicans watched. Democrats are fighting an asymmetric guerrilla war on our voting and judicial processes. Principles do not matter to them or the progressive media.
This guy is a NEVER TRUMPER so listening to him is like listening to Joe Biden or Pritzker. It is nonsense that this guy spouts. He is just like Duckworth in that he puts out at every chance his military career. He stands more with the DEMS than with Republicans. He is just a younger version of Mittens.
Please run for statewide office in Illinois. It’ll probably be the best way to rid ourselves of this narcissist.
Adam Kinzinger is an amazing congressman. Two more years! Two more years!
