, the Illinois congressman said,"The bottom line, I don't need the job. I enjoy doing it. I'd like to win again, but if I don't, I can look at myself in the mirror and I'm at total peace."
Kinzinger has faced widespread backlash from his own party after speaking out against former president"I looked at what happened on the sixth and said, if that's not impeachable, we may as well just get rid of impeachment because then nothing is," Kinzinger said Wednesday morning."Whatever the consequences are it's the right thing to do.", who also voted to move impeach Trump a second time—this time on charges of"incitement of insurrection" against the U.S.
"Everybody that's been through a political science class knows, there's a debate between are you supposed to do what the district wants or are you supposed to do what your conscience says, and I think it's both," Kinzinger said. "Look, out of 750,000 people I represent, only one has to take an oath to defend the Constitution in this capacity. And that's me," he continued."I think what that says intentionally is that we have a unique responsibility as members ofRepresentative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois during a live interview with The Washington Post on Wednesday, February 10, 2020.Among the Republicans who criticized the congressman was a group represented by Kinzinger in Congress.
"The Illinois Republican Party actually backed off censure but put out a statement. I had a local party censure me and I think the word 'censure' really doesn't have a meaning anymore," he said."It's the new thing. If you go outside whatever orthodox we determine is the orthodox today, we're going to censure you. It's amazing because I've actually been pretty consistent in what I believe.
The people of Illinois know better. The man is a true American, they better re-elect him.
Because AdamKinzinger is an American Hero
A man of honor and integrity. Thank you.
Go in peace
It’s called LEADERSHIP. He’s not a vote whore like the rest of the party
The GOP is no place for any one with morals, a conscience, or the slightest belief in science. They’re only good for demagoguery and incitement.
Patriot! Thank you!
As a lifelong Democrat, I have never given money to a Republican candidate. But I pledge that if RepKinzinger gets a Trumper primary challenge, I will donate to his primary campaign.
Good for you Adam- xx
